Your favourite kid's shows when you were growing up.
Mr. Dressup
Mr. Dressup would teach you how to draw and make arts and crafts. Later on, he would invite Casey (puppet) and Finnegan (dog puppet) to the Tickle Trunk, a steamer trunk full of clothes they would pull out and play "dress-up".
The Friendly Giant
The Friendly Giant would invite you up to his castle, where he would play music and read stories to his pals Rusty The Rooster and Jerome The Giraffe. At the end of each episode, Friendly would push a tiny little miniature chair in front of a fireplace and tell you he's saving you a seat for the next time you drop in.
The Uncle Bobby Show
Uncle Bobby was fun. Lots of guests and plenty of music and magic acts.
If you were lucky, Uncle Bobby and Bimbo The Birthday Clown...
...would read out a birthday greeting to any boy or girl that was celebrating that day.

Captain Kangaroo (with Mr. Greenjeans)
Mayor Art was a local show on KRON San Francisco that had a couple dozen kids each day. My sister and I got on the show once (not us in the picture).

Re: Your favourite kid's shows when you were growing up.
Winchell-Mahoney Time
Ventriloquist Paul Winchell entertained with dummies Jerry Mahoney & Knucklehead Smiff. Scotty waddy do do, Scotty waddy do doda
Mickey's Fun Park
Puppeteer Richard Clayton with friends Mickey & Michelle Mudturtle. Used to end the show with Michelle lip-synching Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made for Walking.
Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade
Sheriff John started each show singing as he walked through the door of his Sheriff's office, "Come on now, laugh and be happy, and the world will laugh with you." He then said the Pledge of Allegiance, read a daily safety bulletin, and for good measure threw in some health tips for the youngsters. The highlight of the show was the birthday celebration, when he'd sing,
"Put another candle on my birthday cake
We're gonna bake a birthday cake
Put another candle on my birthday cake
I'm another year old today."
Hobo Kelly
Hobo Kelly painted magic pictures that actually came to life on your TV screen. She painted them with the help of her friend Buttercup, the butterfly. Also, when she came to watch a cartoon, she would put her hand and arm around a half circle and say "Cartoon Hooooooo" - and she would refer to her television audience as "Michief Makers". She'd also tell kids celebrating birthdays at home to look under their beds for surprises, but of course there was never anything there.

But this would certainly explain Screwey's penchant for Alanis Morissette (and all the other garbage he listens to).
I've wondered why Screw was such a whiney bitch -- it's all clear now. As a child, he worshipped Queen of Whiney Bitches.

Re: Your favourite kid's shows when you were growing up.
After years of debate over who was hotter, Maryanne or Ginger, I've come to no conclusion.... but I'd still do them both, preferably at the same time.
Among the shows I couldn't wait to watch as a kid were The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch.

Re: Your favourite kid's shows when you were growing up.
A Little League manager (who's now serving out the rest of his yrs in prison for molesting his granddaughter) took our team to Universal Studios after the season was over. During the tour, we visited the set where Pufnstuf was filmed. There appeared to be the Pufnstuf costume sitting there while the guide was giving his spiel, when the damn thing suddenly stood up & started walking. Scared the shit outta me and a few teammates.mvscal wrote:H.R. Pufnstuf

Believe it or not…
Hardly ever watched TV at night during school. Always had sports after school and then homework at night. I was a total bookworm so I read most of the time I wasn’t doing homework. In the summer, it was baseball all summer long and when I wasn’t at practice or at games, usually I was playing outside. The tv I usually did watch in the summer though was the Astros. When I was a little older though…thank God I had a 13” tv in the bedroom and Cinemax!

or Marvin the Martian. "Where's the Ka-Boom? There was supposed to be a really loud Ka-Boom"
I could watch that shit for hours, and did.

The Ramblin' Rod Show was THE show in the Portland area. They showed the Loony Tunes/HB cartoons, But Ramblin Rod used to come on the set driving this little boat out to the studio audience of little kids (I went twice). Imagine our disappointment when we discovered the boat actually had no bottom, and te shyster was walking it in. Fucker osted that show for 34 years -- absolute icon in the area. Was until he died, anyway.

I suspect they grow good corn. Trouble is, corn has a shelf life of about 10 minutes. If it's shipped more than 20 miles or so, it's gonna be teh suck.Goober McTuber wrote: You send us your best peaches. You folks just don't know how to grow decent corn. Absolutely pathetic.

Re: Your favourite kid's shows when you were growing up.
I suspect that you are as dumb as a bag of hammers, and continually talk out of your ass.
Supersweet corn are varieties of sweet corn which produce higher than normal levels of sugar developed by University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign professor John Laughnan.[3] He was investigating two specific genes in sweet corn, one of which, the sh2 gene, caused the corn to shrivel when dry. After further investigation Laughnan discovered that the endosperm of sh2 sweet corn kernels store less starch and from 4 to 10 times more sugar than normal su sweet corn. He published his findings in 1953, disclosing the advantages of growing supersweet sweet corn, but many corn breeders lacked enthusiasm for the new supersweet corn. Illinois Foundation Seeds Inc. was the first seed company to release a supersweet corn and it was called Illini Xtra Sweet, but widespread use of supersweet hybrids did not occur until the early 1980s. The popularly of supersweet corn rose due to its long shelf life and large sugar content when compared to conventional sweet corn. This has allowed the long-distance shipping of sweet corn and has enabled manufacturers to can sweet corn without adding extra sugar or salt.
