Here's a compilation of all the "bits" that survived from a recording of Son of Svengoolie episode #321 featuring the movie "The Invisible Woman". (there wasn't a whole lot so I just decided to put it all in one)

Features Sven doing a parody of "Money For Nothin'" by Dire Straits.

I think the Three Stooges bit seen at one point might have been recycled from episode #63 when he first showed this movie (aired on Saturday, September 20th 1980) What do you guys thin...

Views: 2842

Here's some more cool & rare TV-44 footage! A partial commercial break, going into a Chicago White Sox slide promo, and ending with a partial opening to a WSNS Movie Show - could it be the 1:00 Movie? Because we've see that opening before, but this time it's in color! (too bad it's incomplete) (they may have used this opening for several different movie shows) Includes:

Here's a technical difficulties moment during the WFLD Channel 32 Six O'Clock Movie presentation of "The FBI Story" - featuring a strange slide.

Who knows how long this technical difficulties moment lasted? Unfortunately someone was impatient and paused the recording and restarted it when the film was fixed. :-)

They answered an easy preliminary questi...
