Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 5)

Views: 772

Here is Part 5 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

Featuring:

(little Snippet of the opening or closing to an episode)

"Hit the road, Drac" song parody (incomplete)

The Dukes of Berwyn?! - on the Dewey, Cheatham...

WMAQ Channel 5 - Gamut (Bumper Promo, 1982)

Views: 2693

Here is a short bumper promo for a local program that aired on WMAQ Channel 5 Sundays at 8:30am - "Gamut".

After some research, it appears the host was Father Martin Winters. This show was long-lived apparently, with the same host. I just looked at a TV Guide for mid-September 1990, and the show was still on Channel 5 with Father Martin. (Assuming they weren't reruns)

This promo aired on local Chicago TV in July of 1982.

Lincoln Carpeting (Commercial #1, 1984)

Here is a Lincoln Carpeting commercial, circa 1984. Not the full version of the jingle, but enough. :-)

Apparently, Lincoln is the thinking man's carpet company. Makes that Empire guy look like a uneducated philistine. ;-)

Way to Go (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 652

Here is Part 1 of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980. Peter Kastner is the host.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

Not sure if thi...

Here is another Lincoln Carpeting commercial, circa 1984. Not the full version of the jingle, but enough. Now the Lincoln guy gets his wife in on the act. :-)

WGN Channel 9 - WGN Thursday Night Movie - "Death Rathe 2000" (1983)

Views: 4218

Here's the ending of the WGN Thursday Night Movie presentation of "The Mackintosh Man" with a humorous voiceover preview for tomorrow night's movie.

Apparently, Clif Mercer wasn't the only one who sounded like this at times. ;-)

(and no, The Mackintosh Man did *not* star Justin Long) ;-)

Voiceover by Paul Rogers.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, July 7th 1983 at a little before 9pm.

Here is Part 6 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

Featuring:

Son of Svengoolie interviews Chicago Sports Broadcasting icon Chet Coppock (incomplete) (with what looks like a strange Svengoolie logo in red at the end - it's hard to read)

Reagan For President - "The Time Is Now" (Political Ad, 1980)

Views: 900

Here's a long-form political ad for Ronald Reagan that aired after an ABC Sunday Night Special Movie presentation of "Jaws" (only the 2nd time the movie aired on Network TV). Reagan got the first 4 minutes and 20 seconds, Carter got the next. (broken up by a brief PSA to cleanse the palet, which we see here)

Includes: Public Service Announcement - U.S. Department of Health & Human Services - High Blood Pressure - "Treat It And Live"

Be on the lookout for a fun...

WMAQ Channel 5 - Sorting It Out - "Buffalo Farm" (Excerpt, 1975?)

Views: 1857

Here's a rare clip from the WMAQ Channel 5 show Sorting it Out featuring Shelley Long (of Cheers fame).

This clip shows us a buffalo farm in Marengo, IL owned by the Banghart Family (John Banghart and Lynn Banghart) - Coon Creek Farm.

Also mentions George Reed, who runs a neighboring farm, along with his sons Marvin Reed and Paul Reed.

This segment is narrated by co-host of the show, Bob Smith.

Not sure when this aired ...
