Here's something for blog readers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s...just like me. As the studio audience would file out of the studio after seeing BOZO's CIRCUS live at WGN-TV, BOZO and other cast members would pose for photos with kids that were there at the show that day. Here's a great photo of BOZO (Bob Bell in center), OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner on left) and SANDY (Don Sandburg on right) with a group of lucky kids! The photo is dated November 1967. What a great era of Chicago kids television!
If you grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s, then you would love this 40-page booklet! Published in 1994, it's the one and only issue of THE LITTLE THEATRE SCREEN - Preserving the History of Chicago Kids' TV. This issue is loaded with photos and features BILL JACKSON and his classic TV shows, CARTOON TOWN, THE BJ & DIRTY DRAGON SHOW and GIGGLESNORT HOTEL. Also included in this issue is a full-page McDONALD's / BOZO's CIRCUS premium photo (shown below)! Chicago Kids' TV Historian and cartoonist, Jim Engel, did a great job putting this issue together! I currently have this listed on eBay and you can go HERE to bid!
