Do you remember?

<p>Obsessed here with Wonderama…especially with Sonny Fox…</p>

<p>My distinct memory was of the dance contests in the bird cages…“Sugar pie honey bunch; you know that I love you; can’t help myself…”. Like it was yesterday…</p>

<p>And, of course, Sandy Becker…</p>

182

<p>Wow! I don’t remember that!</p>

183

<p>

</p>

<p>Where I lived, it was Malt Duck. For the uninitiated, that was grape flavored beer. Yikes.</p>

184

<p>^Are you sure it wasn’t called COLD Duck??? (Hope my son isn’t lurking on this thread!)</p>

185

<p>Shrinkrap: just found this…</p>

<p>[Wonderama</a> - Classic Kids TV](<a href=“Classic Kids TV”>Wonderama - Classic Kids TV)</p>

<p>I don’t remember most of the things in this article actually…</p>

186

<p>I remember film strips when I was learning French in 5th grade. Also, taking a mock poll for Kennedy vs Nixon in elementary school.</p>

187

<p>Ahh Romper Room. We watched the Los Angeles show and it was Miss Mary Ann. I also remember Sheriff John and Hobo Kelly.</p>

188

<p>Lloyd Thaxton…a dance show with live guests lipsyncing their hit. Funny thing: my husband appeared on the show singing his “hit” song. I saw him…sixteen years before I met him.</p>

189

<p>Boone’s Farm, Malt Duck, Cold Duck…Does anybody remember Champipple??</p>

190

<p>Sheriff John: Red light…Green light!</p>

<p>Bozo the Clown</p>

<p>Chucko the Birthday Clown.</p>

<p>II think that they were all Los Angeles based.)</p>

<p>The Mickey Mouse Club…Spin and Marty…going to Disneyland and conserving your E tickets…</p>

<p>Didn’t do the Cold Duck and Ripple thing (I know that no one is surprised…)…Glenfiddich scotch, Bloody Marys, Cliquot champagne…</p>

191

<p>Yeah, Rodney, I remember “Does mybody here have an aardvark”, the snake cans, and “exercise”, but not the dancing, and to Motown!!! Maybe Wonderama a Go-Go!</p>

<p>I’m searching… no video yet, but found this regarding ““Whose is Whose is Whose””</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.filmthreat.com/features/2338/[/url]”>http://www.filmthreat.com/features/2338/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“The parents of the all-kid audience were usually kept off camera, although one game called “Whose is Whose is Whose” required the matching of parents with children. A child from the audience would be asked to pair whichever of four parents supposedly resembled one of four children. I can clearly recall one game where three pairs of white mothers and children and one black mother and child were in the mix – a kid from the audience came and created matches that put the black mother with a white child and the black child with a white mother. McAllister, barely concealing his laughter, remarked in very pre-P.C. tones, “Looks like we have a little salt-and-pepper going on here!” He then urged the child contestant to rematch the groupings – and the poor kid switched the remaining white parents and children, leaving the mixed race couplings alone!”</p>

<p>Found one with “the Jackson Five”

<p>It was the “Jingle Jump” which predated the “Skip It”. It had a strap similar to the one on baseball cap and a cuplike thing that your heel rested in. There was a box with a bell, hence the jingle. There was a long plastic string with a ball on the end that you jumped.<br>
It was the toy of choice at my Catholic school playground. The trick was not to smash the ball because it wasn’t much fun to drag around a flattened one. They were 99 cents at the toy store.</p>

<p>Do you remember that you could trade in your old Barbie for a new Twist-n-Turn? </p>

<p>And if you grew up near Philadelphia, do you remember Gene London?</p>

193

<p>

</p>

<p>No, it was Malt Duck. I am not familiar with anything called Cold Duck.</p>

<p>Ah…filmstrips. The entire class period could be wasted before the thing ever got fed into the machine correctly.</p>

195

<p>Wonderama film clips

<p>My sister had Barbie and Ken and some other woman. I had Skipper. I was jealous. Skipper couldn’t even wear high heels or Barbie’s wedding dress or any of her clothes. I wonder if that’s why I’ve never worn high heels?</p>

197

<p>Anyone from Boston remember Major Mudd? How about Bozo The Clown?</p>

198

<p>Bozo the Clown scared me. If you grew up in Hawaii in the 70’s, do you remember Checkers and Pogo? </p>

<p>I had a Skip It and my sis and I loved to play jacks. My dad would occasionally find a lost jack by stepping on it. He walked around the house barefoot. :(</p>

<p>I remember the neighborhood kids running around the neighborhood without parents. Our next door neighbor’s mom would blow a whistle and she would immediately drop whatever she was doing and run home. </p>

<p>Tiger Beat magazines, the Sonny and Cher Show, sea monkeys.</p>

199

<p>Baseballmom: Not only do I remember Bozo…I was in the audience one glorious time.</p>

200

<p>Not from Boston, but I remember Bozo…so does George Costanza…</p>

<p>“George, attending Robin’s son’s birthday party, cannot understand how Eric the Clown (played by Jon Favreau) doesn’t know who Bozo is.”</p>
