The local kids program here for decades was The Popeye Club hosted by Officer Don with a sidekick puppet dragon name Orvil. Amazing how the things you watch as a kid can be recalled so vividly. Like when Wayne Knight (Seinfeld's Newman) was a recurring character on 3rd Rock. He played Sally's cop boyfriend named Officer Don Orville. I figure it was more than coincidence because Knight grew up around here and both Officer Dons dressed the same.

I remember wondering how many other people got the joke.

I liked Romper Room--the teacher was purdy, and, more importantly, she had a magic mirror with which she could see us all at home, through the TV. (Wikipedia has her incantation for us forgetful old people: "Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play?")

When I was little, I got in trouble for using my crayons to draw along with Winky-Dink without putting the 'magic screen' on the TV ... Crayons are fun. Which reminds me of a "Straight Dope" column a number of years ago, explaining how crayons work.
