Theresa, did they still have The Twin Pines show when you were little?? OK, this will show how REALLY old I am..Twin Pines dairy used to deliver milk IN BOTTLES in the MILK CHUTE in the side of your house..if you wanted.. We had ours blocked up..we were new age and got our milk at Kroger's in a CARDBOARD container...

...anywho....They had a locally produced show on TV and their clown was MILKY the clown..I remember they had these lamo contests for the kids in the audience, and the winner got to put their hand in a jar and pull out as many pennies as they could. The only problem was the hole was very small, even for little hands, so a fistful of pennies (sorta like a Fistful of Dollars..LOL) wouldn't fit through the hole. I remember as a small child thinking what a ripoff....
A friend of mine got to be in the audience of Bozo the Clown and she won a contest...a package of hot dog buns....
Chez Helene was a cute little show, maybe local, this old lady had a little mouse (puppet) and spoke French occasionally...
The Friendly Giant was actually a normal sized, very nice, quiet, gentle giant in a castle with a (puppet) Giraffe-Jerome, and Rusty the rooster..I can't even remember what they did.....
How about Rita Bell's Prize Movie (Detroit only I believe) and Kukla Fran and Olie???
