He was so funny--even my DAD watched the show with me!

"Let there be fright...in the night"!

I remember he used the theme from "One Step Beyond" as his theme.

Nothing but wonderful memories of this guy and his crazy show.

I went to see him at a personal appearance at Gimbels at 69th Street in Upper Darby. Hundreds of kids. He was such an important part of my life

houndz11 I was There! I remember all the sinbad movies played on Dr Shocks show, IT The terror from beyond space, 20 million miles to earth, Jason and the argonauts, and many many more! Thanks for flash back!

I lived in NJ as a kid, way high on a hill (no trees) and we had a rotating antenna and had GREAT reception due to these factors, and in the early 70's-mid 80's WPHL 17 is one of the stations we got.

Dr. Shock was one of our faves! He passed away in 1977 and there was a huge tribute to him on Channel 17. His real name was Joe Zawislak, and either he was Zacherley's understudy (or vice versa.)

In any case he was fun to watch and I miss those days a LOT..RIP Dr. Shock, we love ya! :)

I watched his double Saturday afternoon features for many years as achild in the 1970s. RIP.

Who is this guy? I was searching for "magic tricks" and this came up.

[michaeljayklein]

Oh my! This is WONDERFUL! I remember seeing the very first Dr. Shock show when I was 10 years old--I LOVED this program. I remember being an official member of the Dr. Shock Fan Club! I can't put in words how delighted I am to see him again. I know the man who played him died at a relatively young age--he was just a riot! Even my DAD watched this show with me! Thanks so much for posting this! Michael

[JohnKoroly]

YES! First "Mad Theater" came on, then "Horror Theater" right after it. Anyone else remember Stanley the Dumb-Dumb? Thanx for posting!
