SMB Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 We love the show and enjoy the clever comments and the songs he makes up. Very funny and makes up for some of the corny movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Should we have a continuing thread for Car Movies/TV shows/Videos. ? Think my earliest on tape is "Speedy" (Harold Lloyd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I can just imagine the jokes the Svengoolie team makes that aren't allowed to be aired (or is that cables now). Makes me want to help. I watched Rebel Without A Cause a couple of nights ago. I told my wife that today Hollywood would have blown up most of southern California when those cars went over the cliff.

58L-Y8 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Late night's "Monolith Monsters" had a nice two-tone 1956 DeSoto FireFlite convertible and four door 1956 Plymouth police car, but a '55 Ford F-100 panel truck emergency vehicle. Universal-International Pictures made a lot of those terrible old monster movies that were the second feature run at the drive-in theaters. None of the actors were well-known then, many just getting a start in the business. The cars are the best part of the movies. Otherwise, its cardboard characters, one dimensional acting, stock plots and hilarious 'special' affects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yep, they are fun! Our cable tv provider just started giving us this channel. Tonight is Colombo with his wacky police detective ways and early 1970s cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Heaps Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Love watching the old movies,especially when there are good shots of cars from the '40s and '50s, and I really enjoy the factoids given on the actors and actresses. And some of the corn is acceptable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original plan was a detective show called O'Brien but he solved the crime in 15 minutes. Colombo took 2 hours. That worked out better for them.

James-Wahl Motors Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Svengoolie has been a Chicago area institution for decades, now he's nationwide. He does get pretty silly but I do enjoy his snarky sense of humor, and also how he points out the connections between the actors and what other movies they were in, as someone mentioned. I guess he's he's not for everyone; for example my mother-in-law loves him, and my father-in-law doesn't get him. Good thing they have two televisions. The '56 DeSoto was pretty sweet, too, and had a fair amount of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
