That schedule brought back many memories. I was a preschooler at the time, and can certainly remember getting up and
watching the Three Stooges on WTAE (which my mother always tried to stop, since she was convinced that it would inspire
her kids to hit each other with hammers and poke each others eyes out). I would then watch Captain Kangaroo, and then
flip over to Captain Jim on 11, and then the Lucy/Hillbillies back on 2. And we all watched Adventuretime in the afternoons.
We were fortunate in that we lived high enough on a hill to get good signals out of Wheeling and Steubenville (though not
Altoona/Johnstown). The Flintstones and Star Trek were two of my favorites on 9. And the Bozo show mentioned on
53 was not locally produced. It was taped at Pat Robertson's CBN station in Portsmouth, VA and sent out on tape.
(I remember that after the cartoons, Bozo would suddenly and without warning whip out his Bible and begin preaching).

A guy in spiked read hair, white face with make up, and big shoes reading bible verses aloud. Wow, just wow. So far no videos have showed up on YouTube.
