Well done!

It's that hanna-barberian alice in wonderland and through the looking glass special!

Yes I understand that but jumping from Captain Penny to Superhost left me bewildered.

No Ghoulardi, Big Chuck, Houlihan and Little John? The Ghoul?

Are there full episodes of any of these shows available anywhere. I’d love to watch them with my young children.

Loved that graphic..."The Philadelphia Inquirer station." Triangle publications, Walter Annenburg.

The guy in the Romper Room segment seems familiar - lol It was great viewing this at the premier at the Cleveland Cinematheque on a big screen

I'm a little surprised you did not mention the most famous incident in Cleveland live TV , when Barnaby had his on-air melt-down. I don't remember much of it, but: "...And there's no goddamned bird in that cage!" Maybe you didn't want to besmirch his memory, but we are all in our 60's or 70's now, so we can take a little reality ;)

Remember Video Arcade with Candy Cramer from the early 1980s on Channel 61?

Well this brings back a lot of memories... I watched these shows in the early to late sixties. My mom didn't like me watching the Three Stooges on the Captain Penny show, so I'd watch them until I heard my mom coming downstairs. Then I'd switch to the afternoon movie in channel 3. And switch it back to the Three Stooges when she went back upstairs. Oh, and I have at CD and video of Robert Farnon's "La Claire Fontaine", the Barnaby theme. I still choke up a bit when I hear it...

I remember this as from the 60's. Janet Waldo did the voice of Alice.

I liked Barnaby. He had a friendly face.

I had as a kid a Ghoulardi sweatshirt. It was black but his outline was in white. And I always wondered about Superhost. I don’t know if it was make up or a naturally red nose but it made me think he was a drinker. But I was kid. I can be forgiven.

I didn’t see Big Chuck and Hoolihan. I started watching when Lil John came.

I had a pair of Keds. They were white and behind the heel was a red ball logo. I think they were Keds. I was pretty young then.

That’s where I met Mr. Jingleling at Hallies. Mom took me.

Liked Jungle Larry especially his hat.

I hate the Three Stooges. They’re not funny and the slapping and eye poking hand hitting I just don’t get. Slap stick I don’t get.

Mom would always recite Capt. Penny’s saying to me. No wonder I could never fool her. I finally gave up trying. Moms know everything down to every thought. Brrrrr!

Roger Ramjet. LOL! I remember him!

In high school my class took a trip to the Big Chuck Lil John show. We were the audience of a Mary Hartsky skit. But we never saw the skit. We’d just hold up signs and ai had to tell the girl behind home her sign was upside down. Chuck wasn’t exactly nice. Never saw Lil John. I used to watch Big Chuck and Lil John. Not too impressed. I liked The Ghoul and hen he passed away.

I vaguely remember Franz except that I seemed to be fascinated by his hands. And his mustache was bushier than my maternal grandfather’s. But other than that it’s a blank.

I wondered how she could see all those kids in the magic mirror as a kid.

I remember Miss Barbara.

I had Bosco once.

Jean Carroll. Watched his talent show every Sunday at 11am. But in the 60’s he looked obviously much older. I was fascinated by his production numbers. A couple times I watched Polka Varieties. Couldn’t understand the concept of all these people slow dancing. Mom had taught me how to Polka in the living room. I also remember Academic Challenge so I could get smart. I can’t remember the host’s name but he took over Gene Carroll’s show,

I remember Barnaby. He had a friendly face.

Captain Penny looked like my pediatrician Dr. Bloomfield. That’s why I liked him until he gave a shot.

I wasn’t born until ‘59 so never saw Howdy Doody or Mickey Mouse Club. But saw Capt. Kangaroo, Captain Penny, Romper Room, Goulardi, Mr. Jingaling.

This my city! Born, raised, live. Yeah Cleveland! My suburb was the one Paul Newman was raised in. Shaker Heights.

I remember Mr. Jingaling and got to meet him at a store he was visiting to meet people. Oy was I happy!

Thank you for uploading this documentary. I have been looking hoping someone would put it on you tube. I’m originally from where Barnaby (Lynn Sheldon) and the Romper Room teacher were from. Very good documentary.

Love the opening!

Thank you for posting this at no cost. I appreciate it. Great job on content and production.

Franz had a scary resemblance to Hitler with that mustache. Yikes!

55:17 I mean, to be fair, why wouldn't kids ignore it? WJW hadn't aired a single piece of regularly scheduled kids programming since switching from a CBS to a FOX affiliate in 1994.

I would think that either Jimmy Breslin or one otther local Cleveland composer would make a lot of the music including the Noon Show theme, The name escapes me, but it's on the tip of my tongue. Wait! Yeah... It's Dick Wooley.

There was also Bernice Culver, the first of the rescue dogs' guests from the Animal Protective League.

You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t fool Mom. - Captain Penny

Great show; this obviously took a long time to make.

I remember the Gene Carol show and Polka Varieties. I learned to polka in our living room. 😊

My great uncle Leonard sold his pet monkey to jungle larry and its the one you would always see with him

Ah, that was “Miss Torso” from Rear Window. Great opening!

wow flash back time, no really. lol

This takes me back, thank you!

Channel 43 plays favorites

My dad, Walt Kay, was the host of a short lived kids show called Cousin Kay's Corner. I heard he quit the show after hearing the television station wanted to broadcast a show covering horse racing results. He didn't agree with their time slot being on after a kids program.

I adored Captain Penny. He was my very first celebrity crush at 5 years old. He made a personal appearance at Giant Tiger on Miles Rd. when it first opened. My brother and I were pleasantly surprised when our parents took us to meet him. Unfortunately, I lost my autographed photo of him decades ago. So sad he passed so young. I loved the memories your video stirred up. Thank You!

You should do something about Bill "Smootchy" Gordon

Great documentary! I love classic TV. Do you remember a kids' TV host from Cleveland named "Ali"? This was in the 2000s. I went to high school with her, real name Alexandra Kostenko. Now she's doing Lawrence Welk-style religious tunes in Akron: ruclips.net/video/ATfKkjvO-lE/видео.html
