Svengoolie/Quotes

Bishop: Good evening. I'm Jerry G. Bishop, and this is the famed split-level dungeon studio where many years ago, the legendary Svengoola--Svengoolie first entered television prominence many years ago. Even today, many fondly remember Svengoolie providing the same classic entertainment as such time-honored shows as Hello, Larry, My Mother the Car, Celebrity Pin-spying. But then, one day, at his peak, Svengoolie simply dropped from sight. The rumors were many--that he dyed his hair and changed his name to Phil Donahue, that he'd gone on to a rewarding career in hotel management, but no one knew for sure and yet one rumor still is whispered among an uneasy populous. What if there was the same situation as in the past with Son of Frankenstein, Son of Dracula, Sanford and Son? Could their exist--somewhere, somehow--a Son of Svengoolie?

Son of Svengoolie: Hey, dad, can I borrow the key to the hearse tonight?
