Memories of my younger brother and I trying to stay awake on Friday nights for the skits. Thank you!

[@jockoharpo2622]

We would splash cold water on our faces with wet wash cloths to stay awake! For H and BC as well as the Ghoul on Sat. Nights!

When I got my first 8mm movie camera in 1971, my 8th grade classmate and I shot a parody of Hoolihan and Big Chuck complete with our own made-up skits. We used a cassette recorder for sound. It was a blast.... I was Hoolie... 😂

[@stargazer2756]

What kid growing up in Cleveland didn't watch these guys back in the 60s, 70s. I was raised on Ghoulardi a young boy and tv was great Friday nights here! Still love these guys!

Friday nites during my youth watching Big Chuck and Hoolihan

[@ferociousgumby]

What this show WAAAAAAY back in the '60s, growing up in Ontario where we could pull in signals all the way to Cleveland! When I moved away in 1970, that was that. Never thought I'd see this again!

So many memories

[@jackkitchen737]

I grew up watching these shows in the 70's, then Big Chuck and Lil John in the 80's

[@curiousgemini]

Hoolihan was before my time, but I remember my parents letting me stay up late on Friday nights to watch Big Chuck and Little John.

[@michaelbursa3711]

I think one or two weeks later ”Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman” was the movie. ...and my movie poster artwork was among the pictures shown. Great memories ...started the 8th grade at Annunciation grammar school in September.

[@chaz4471]

[@Bohnzye]

Forever stuck in the past and couldn't be happier. Is it just me? I guess in the end it's all relevent to your experiences growing up and what you takeaway from them.

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Thank you for uploading, I have been trying to locate the older Hooli and Chuck shows!

[@VIRGONOMICS]

Whoever posted this - is a champ !

[@VETTE-wj8qq]

Thank You.... You are a legend.... Brings back great memories growing up here in Cleveland....

[@luisreyes1963]

A rather bizarre local show, I must say. We here in Chicago dabbled with weird comedy TV shows as well. 😆

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

25:23 - A spoof of the long-running Colt 45 commercials that used "Solfeggio" (the Nairobi Trio tune from Ernie Kovacs' TV shows) and starred Canada's own Billy Van as the bored man. Billy's especially beloved for playing Count Frightenstein (and almost every other character) on the 1971 cult classic children's show, "Hilarious House of Frightenstein".
