Thanks for the info. Oftentimes, photos, pics, images etc. found on the web don't identify locations or sources of origin; I try & credit the sources for them when they're given. One of the great things about this thread is that many of you can relate and add some 'history' & background to a lot of these great photos.

There were so many local TV shows back in those days! Nearly every large city's stations had their versions of kiddy shows, and many of them were viewed nationwide as well. I lived in the Detroit MI area in the 50s & 60s, we had Johnny Ginger, Poopdeck Paul & Captain Jolly, Sagebrush Shorty and many others.

Here are a few I found on the web. I sure do remember the "Do Bee and Don't Bee" from Romper Room!
