Does anyone know where i could see episodes of this series? Specifically Series 1 Episode 3 for "The Stuff".
It's one of my all-time favourite movies, and noticed that the "movie connections" link led me to Svengoolie. Am very curious to check it out.
Please let me know any info you have! Thanks. -

I have the first t-shirt that he did when he came back to WCIU. I like the one with the giant chicken much more and will be ordering that one. Hell, I actually go back to the days of "Screaming Yellow Theater" and the original Svengoolie (Jerry G. Bishop). Watched the Son of Svengoolie (had a cassette with some of his song parodies, can't find it now
) and loved it. Now Svengoolie is showing the classic Universal movies (he's working his way through the
FRANKENSTEIN
films now) and I find him hilarious. Met him twice: once at a store called House of Monsters (don't know if it's still in business) and again at Haunted Trails.

So
THAT
explains why he's only showing the Universal movies for now. As much as I love those old classics, I hope Sven goes back to showing the occasional "good-bad" movie like
OBLIVION
and whatnot.

near as i can tell, this seems to be a little bit backwards. sven got the rights to the universal flicks in late 2006, and then in mid 2007, some stations in california tried sven out.
of course, maybe what i've heard is incorrect. -

I don't find the show laugh-out-loud funny, but it's fun in a campy sort of way. Koz obviously takes his inspiration from TV horror hosts of the fifties; he's like a non-menacing version of the Crypt Keeper. Vampira, Elvira, The Ghoul, and legions of other horror hosts tend to crack jokes that are more likely to elicit groans than laughs, but that's part of the charm of the whole endeavor.
Plus as a Chicago native it's always nice to have these local things. -

It's really too bad that they moved it from around noon to around 9PM. I seldom watch it now.
But I do agree that he seemed funnier back in the 1970's-1980's. I still remember when he was on WFLD. I even met him and Doug at some event at a clock shop back in the 1970's. If I recall you could have even bought artwork that he did at the event.
But being that Mystery Science Theater 3000 isn't on here anymore, it's the funniest thing in the same vane as that still on TV here. I still enjoy it. -

Actually, I would have hoped that they moved it to 10PM so that it ends at midnight. The perfect time for a horror movie to end.

Sven is corporate controlled now which is why he sounds so dull these days. Check out his early 80's clips on YouTube for genuine laughs.

Rich Koz was much funnier when he was "Son of Svengoolie".
Like most comedians, he lost steam over the years. But the show is still watchable at least.
