6. "Terrytoon Circus" - Late '50s

It was a local show on Channel 9 in NYC (WOR, now Superstation WWOR in Secaucus NJ).

The host was a man named Claude Kirshner, who dressed as a ringmaster. His sidekick was a clown puppet named "Clowney". Claude Kirschner was probably the worst ventriloquist of all time.

The show was on every weeknight at 7:00. When it ended at 7:30, Claude Kirshner would say "And now it's time for all of you to go to bed."

I also remember "Howdy Doody" when it was on five days a week, "Ding Dong School" and "Romper Room".

And "Cartoon Playtime" with "Uncle" Fred Scott.
