Dr. Shock hosted old horror movies on WPHL-TV, Channel 17 during the 70s. The Dr. Shock material was shot on video tape in advance (probably so that the station wouldn't need to have a crew at the station on Saturday). Here's an excerpt of some of the Dr. Shock material from Saturday afternoon, November 3, 1973. This material uses material from cuts 8 through 11.
Dr. Shock
WPHL-TV
Saturday, November 3, 1973
Broadcast Pioneers member Dave Abramson directed many of the Dr. Shock programs back in the 70s. Our material is taken from a original 1" video tape master. It was the master tape that contained the roll-ins for "The Best of Dr. Shock" which aired shortly after Joe Zawislak's death. Joe played the beloved Dr. Shock.
