I remember watching "Uncle Al" when I was a kid. We couldn't get that station very well, so it was always a real treat when the atmospheric conditions were such that the signal was watchable.

The king is dead, long live the king!

I grew up watching Uncle Al and Captain Wendy. Seen them 'live' many many times. Visited the show about a dozen times as a kid. They were very cool.

I did the "hokey pokey" with them even at home!

I went to the Uncle Al show once. I still have the picture somewhere.

From an era when nearly all markets had at least one locally produced children's show. I grew up watching The Flippo Show and Lucy's Toy Shop from Columbus and Mr. Cartoon from Charleston/Huntington, WV.

Rest in Peace, sir.

I don’t remember ever seeing this person. I must have slept through his show!
