Svengoolie and Screamin' Yellow Theater from WFLD is about to hit Fifty!

My favorite horror host of all-time is Svengoolie!  I remember learning to draw from watching How To Make A Monster on his show and seeing those great opening titles of an artist drawing Teenage Werewolf!  I popped in my DVD of Jerry's Svengoolie and I am always floored by how funny he was!  He signed many things for me, when I visited his restaurants in San Diego many years ago.   What an incredibly talented guy and he is definitely missed!

A true original!

What a talent JERRY G. BISHOP was!  He passed away a short while ago and with the exception of Rich koz, the Chicago media did very little to report it.   He was a big part of what made Chicago television great in the early 1970's and was a super talent!  He is missed!

SVENGOOLIE

from Ron Murphy

Some years back, I ate at Jerry G. Bishop's restaurants in San Diego and brought him a R/B book :)  I brought all kinds of things for him to sign too and he graciously signed the whole lot.

There are going to be some SVENGOOLIE episodes on the web Monday...not seen in 40 years!

Jerry G. Bishop was very nice to me when I visited his restaurants in San Diego and signed many, many SVENGOOLIE things for me! He said if I ever sold them....he would tear my lips off!

I asked Rich Koz about Jerry G. Bishop the other day. It has been a while since I have been out to his San Diego restaurants. Apparently Jerry had a stroke a while back and has retired from radio completely now. Rich said he asked Jerry if he misses it and he said "No."

More CHICAGO KID'S TV stuff!
