That's a real shame. The show sounds like it was a gem.
I've consider writing a book about local children's television but
realize it would be a lot of work; I do not currently have the time or
resources to pursue such a project. Unfortunately, many, if not most,
of the hosts are no longer with us and the children who saw the shows
originally are nearing retirement age.
