JERRY G. BISHOP "SVENGOOLIE" - 1936-2013

GO SPEED RACER GO!

Just added these Funko SPEED RACER and RACER X bobbleheads to my collection. Loved watching SPEED RACER on Chicago's WFLD-TV Ch. 32 when I was a kid! I enjoy the DVD sets today! 8^)

THE LITTLE THEATRE SCREEN - PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO KIDS' TV!

If you grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s, then you would love this 40-page booklet! Published in 1994, it's the one and only issue of THE LITTLE THEATRE SCREEN - Preserving the History of Chicago Kids' TV. This issue is loaded with photos and features BILL JACKSON and his classic TV shows, CARTOON TOWN, THE BJ & DIRTY DRAGON SHOW and GIGGLESNORT HOTEL. Also included in this issue is a full-page McDONALD's / BOZO's CIRCUS premium photo (shown below)! Chicago Kids' TV Historian and cartoonist, Jim Engel, did a great job putting this issue together! I currently have this listed on eBay and you can go HERE to bid!

Be sure to check out Bill Jackson's site, http://www.dirtydragon.com/ today!

SVENGOOLIE!

Be sure to pay a visit to the HORROR HOST GRAVEYARD blog this HALLOWEEN season! Today's featured TV horror host is Chicago's, SVENGOOLIE! You'll see some great clips of SVENGOOLIE hosting SCREAMING YELLOW THEATRE in the early 1970s. I loved watching SVENGOOLIE every Friday night on Chicago's WFLD-TV Ch. 32! The great JERRY G. BISHOP starred as SVENGOOLIE. Click on the photo for a larger view!
