Sven mentions one of the sketches on the show, "Marlin Gherkins' Mild Kingdom". (parody of Marlin Perkins on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom)

This must have been soon after they started using the actual Son of Svengoolie theme song (Son's Theme - written by Doug Scharf) instead of the old Jerry G...

Views: 8974

Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.

Here's another presumably short-lived competitor to the big-boys - Carpet Forest. Featuring some over-acting ladies dressed up as Indian women. Question: Did Indians generally hang out in Forests? ;-)

I actually wouldn't mind visiting a Carpet Forest. Hopefully, it would have less bugs. ;-)
