Hello, I'm new around here, but a good friend alerted me to this board, and I hope this hasn't been covered before (I did a search first.) Very nice resource.
At any rate, I'm almost positive there was an old b/w children's show that used to air in the very early morning on one of the UHF channels when I was very little (very early '70s). Now, I can't find even one person who remembers it, so I suppose it's possible I dreamt it into existence. Here are the details:
It was black and white, and cheaply filmed (videoed) on a standard "cyc," or cyclorama set, with minimal light projections on the walls.
In the middle of the set was a fake tree, and one of those sort of decorative electrical gaslamp mockups people used to put by their driveways to light the way to the front door. Only, the "head" of the gaslamp is a white spherical diffuser, rather than the "lantern" type.
The host was a pretty lady dressed in a Peter Pan-style "Pixy" dress, and she had puppet friends who lived in the tree to talk with.
I'm thinking it might have aired on WATL, or WHAE, as it came on right before WTCG started airing the Three Stooges/Our Gang hour. Might have been WTCG. That would put it at about 5:30 am, I think, which may explain how I might have dreamt it.
Because I was so little then, details are way fuzzy, but it seemed like it aired weekday mornings. But, it's also possible it was a Sunday morning offering from WHAE, and may have had a religious tone. Can't remember any of the content.
I remember I only watched it on days where I'd gotten up unreasonably early, and there was nothing else on (which might tip the balance toward Sunday morning programming.)
Any memory hits out there? Or have I been hallucinating since a young age?
