[78-L] Kukla, Fran and Ollie

[Dan Van Landingham]

I doubt if they would.The earliest memories I have are from around 1955 watching 
"The Mickey
Mouse Club" and "Davey Crockett".We had just moved to the central Oregon town of 
Reedsp-
ort,Oregon from Parma,Idaho.The earliest tv I remember my parents owning was a 
small ac/dc
set;the next one was a Montgomery Ward Airline with about a 20 inch screen.I 
bought one like it
in the mid '70s that just needed the fusable resistor replaced.I gave $5.00 for 
it.I used to repair tv
sets as a kid.I had some cheap paper back books that taught me theory.One of 
them was a repri-
nt of tv repair by Supreme Publications in Chicago.Kukla,Fran and Ollie wouldn't 
hold their atten-
tion.The only other kid show I recall was a show called "Wunda Wunda".I remember 
that one from the late '50s.

I would buy the following if the CBC would put them out:

MADE IN CANADA..a hilariously vicious TV series written by and featuring Rick 
Mercer, with Peter Keleghan and Leah (drool) Pinsent

JOSHUA THEN AND NOW..the full 4 hour version (maybe with the current renewed 
interest in Mordecai Richler, someone will get his head out of his whatever and 
suggest this one)

The GILBERT & SULLIVAN operettas directed in the 50s and 60s by Norman Campbell
