Views: 906

Here's the first few minutes of the very first Koz Zone episode (before it had a name even) - back when he was really playing up the idea of being a video pirater. The first movie he showed was "The Astro-Zombies" (which he also showed on Son of Svengoolie at one point).

It was an exciting time - waiting for this to come on. It had been years since I had seen Son of Svengoolie or any Rich Koz Komedy at that point, and it was starting to become a fuzzy childhood memory ...

Notice the audio cuts out when he says the date at the beginning and later in the clip. This must have been done b...
