The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | Bozo's Circus - "Four Letter Word" (Promo, 1979) 🤡 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 1 hour ago
No, it's not the infamous "Bozo No-No" - here's a promo for Bozo's Circus in which everybody's favorite clown (Bob Bell) poses a riddle to Cooky (Roy Brown) while also asking who pulls in the boys and girls with fun, games, cartoons and the like, every weekday starting at 12pm.
Following this is a bonus which immediately followed this promo as shown: a look at the weekday kids' schedule (voiceover by Len Johnson), starting with Star Blazers at 6:30am, Ray Rayner at 7am, The Groovy Goolies (as they spell it, not the official "Groovie Goolies") at 8am and 2:30pm, Bozo ("Chicago's longest-running children's program") at 12 Noon, a whole hour of Bugs Bunny at 3pm, The Flintstones at 4pm, and Gilligan's Island at 4:30pm. Ah, those were the days for a kid in the Chicagoland area. (Although frankly, I preferred Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye and the Banana Splits over most of the lineup here.)
(TECHNICAL CG NOTE: Notice the new type fonts, different sizes and weights of the Helvetica family, likely from TeleMation's Compositor I CG graphics system, in the laying out of this schedule; this replaced the earlier Chiron fonts in use at the station since at least 1975.)
"Cooky, what is the only four-letter word that's spelled the same forwards and backwards, right-side up or upside down?"
This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, December 3rd 1979 during the 6:30am to 7:00am timeframe.
