Here's a rare old promo for Son of Svengoolie episode number 46, showing the movie, "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman". This episode aired on Saturday, May 24th 1980 at 8pm.

This was before they had the Son of Svengoolie theme song (written by Doug Scharf) and instead were still using the old Jerry G. Bishop Svengoolie theme, "Rumble".

The Lost Snipets - "PeaScraper" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1249

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, circa 1975 (ok it's a minute long but not all of the early ones were short) I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over in 1977. Enjoy.

Here's a commercial for Prospect Federal Savings, with a gold prospector describing the bank's "Check$aver" N.O.W. account (which pays 5-1/4% interest compounded daily and is insured to $100,000) as he's looking for gold in the lake.

What's the deal with banks and prospectors back then?

Prospect Federal was located at 555 East Butterfield Road (across from Yorktown Mall) in Lombard, and tw...
