WOW, thanks for that. I haven't thought of Discovery '63 since 1963! I still remember the theme song, but not the host. I looked it up and see that Hal Holbrook hosted one show. Do you remember? I remember one show being about Telestar. In retrospect, how fresh and exciting things seemed to be before the JFK's assassination.
 
Frank Buxton and Virginia Gibson were the
original hosts of "Discovery." In 1964 he was
host of the game show "Get The Message" (and
was replaced about halfway through the run by
Robert Q. Lewis) and was replaced on "Discovery"
by Bill Owen, who had been the show's announcer
(Owen and Gibson stayed until the end, 1971). Interestingly,
Buxton and Owen co-authored a history of network
radio, "The Big Broadcast." Buxton, a standup comedian
before "Discovery," also wrote a number of scripts for
"The Odd Couple" in the '70s. (For whatever it's worth,
Virginia Gibson also had a performing career; she was
a regular on "Your Hit Parade" around 1957.)

Hal Holbrook would have made an excellent choice for host,
if his schedule had permitted. As it is, he hosted ABC's
attempt to revive "Omnibus" as a series of specials in
the early '80s.
 
Buxton also provided the voice of "Batfink", the Cartoon taqkeoff on Batman produced for syndicstion in 1967..
 
WAGA used to carry that, but I wasn't living in
that part of the country then. Too bad I missed it.
Wasn't it called "Batfink And Ronald"?

You seem to be thinking of "Roland and Ratfink" produced by DePatie/Freleng from 1968-71

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_and_Ratfink

Batfink was a costumed crime fighter..As I said, a takeoff on "Batman"..His assistant was named "Karate"..He drove around in the "Batallac"..

It was syndicated as part of Kid Shows all over the country..
