When I was growing up in SoCal there was a station in LA that played a couple hours of Popeye cartoons on Sunday(?) mornings. The host would draw Popeye characters on a big art pad and tell stories about the history of the cartoons.

In the Philly area we had Wee Willie Weber play Popeye cartoons. We would watch them before we went to school in the morning.

Captain Philadelphia was also cool to watch. He later became a sports newscaster for the Flyers (before Gene Hart)and later went to the west coast and I think became the Kings sportscaster. His real name was Stu Nayhand (sp)

That’s him!:) Thanks. I watched him back in the 70’s until I discovered that girls were more interesting than cartoons, but I’ll always have a soft spot for his show.
