Always 5 for Svengoolie.

Svengoolie comes on right after reruns of the old Star Trek, over here. It's un-fucking-watchable.
It blew my mind to find out that there are fans of this god-awful show.

Kabbage - 2014-01-10 It's just so, so crappy, though.
The best I can say about it is that maybe it helped pave the way for Elvira, who sort of led into MST3K a bit.
I don't even dislike Rich Koz that much. He seems really nice. I just think he's nightmarishly unfunny.

baleen - 2014-01-10 Programs such as this were part of my adolescence and my childhood. If you didn't grow up with a substantial amount of entertainment coming from late night public access cable, it's understandable that you would find this kind of thing unbearable. It's nostalgia and little else, at least for me.

Kabbage - 2014-01-10 Well I watched all of Stargate SG-1 when I was younger so I really cannot complain

kamlem - 2014-01-10 I'm Australian. We had Elvira in the 80's but that was about it. I just posted this as a silly song about a very silly film.

Old_Zircon - 2014-01-11 I know that's a non-sequitur but I figured people who like Ghoulardi would appreciate Gandalf the Grey.
|
Old_Zircon - 2014-01-11 Oh, he was also the first musician to release a "video single" (previous music videos were promo films that weren't publicly circulated), beating Sony to the punch by something like 6 months.

Kabbage - 2014-01-12 Yeah, Ghoulardi looked like it was something real. I guess Svengoolie became popular after Ernie got fired and people were hoping for something similar.

I grew up with Cobweb Theater & the Bowman Body. Svengoolie is way funnier.

I need to watch Ghoulies 2 again.

Jet Bin Fever - 2014-01-14 you do! Phil Fondacaro!
My cousin made a fun fanvid for it set to I Love Saturdays by Erasure that's on youtube. It's so dumb, I love it.
