>>The only puppet show I liked was Garfield Goose and Friends.<<

You never watched The Winchell Mahoney Hour?????? Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith?

Paul Winchell is known to the world as the voice of Disney’s Pooh-Bear’s Tigger (which was Knucklehead Smith’s voice).

It was about that same time.

If I recall correctly, “Kukla, Fran and Ollie” was the first childrens’ programing in the Chicago market, sandwiched in between the test patterns.

I liked the Nestle commercials on that show more than the show itself. The puppets creeped me out.

Garfield rocked because he was a conservative agitator prone to violence. LOL.

As a child I liked Beany and Cecil.

For those of you in Southern California, we had Engineer Bill on Channel 9 and Sheriff John on Channel 11. Hobo Kelly did nothing for me though. I was a bit too old when she showed up. LOL

I won a Frisbee from Engineer Bill at the Grand Opening of a Shopping Bag Grocery Store. Life was good.

Engineer Bill went on to be Stock Broker in the Valley. Not sure what happened to Sheriff John.

Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith?

Now that was a funny show.

Paul Winchell inspired me to try my hadn at ventriloquism. Let’s say that I was good for a little kid, but not nearly as good as he was.
