Definitely remember Ray Rayner and Garfield Goose!  I was a little tyke when I watched those!  I think the Bozo circus I watched as a kid was the original, too.  Cool subject!  :)

Can't remember Gigglesnort Hotel, though!  :-\\

ray rayner was every weekday before i had to go to school, on WGN channel 9,it had something for everyone(weather, traffic reports and school closings)...i don't now about you, but i was always watching for the school closings..lol.  same with garfield goose (if i remember correctly it was on after ray rayner) bozo circus was on at noon on WGN also. gigglesnort hotel was on ABC channel 7, i'm pretty sure it was sunday morning. the blob was a big lump of clay that got molded in a different way every week on that show

Speaking of Chi-Town kid's shows, let us not forget the classic, The Magic Door

Last year WGN aired a Christmas special with alot of original Ray Raynor and Bozo footage with the Suzy Snowflake footage,clutch cargo etc... I taped it as you never know when it may ever be shown again. It was more of retrospect homage type show, very cool.

We got WGN and WLS where I lived in Michigan (an hour from Chi-town).  But it wasn't always great reception.  I watched Bozo (in fact, my brother's name was drawn one time and the kid hit all 6 buckets)

It's funny...even though I grew up in Nebraska, when we first got cable back in the early 80's we had WGN as one of the channels and I can remember watching "The Bozo Show."

  Can't say I remember a whole lot about it, except that Bozo never seemed to pass up an opportunity to plug "Schneider's String Cheese."  ;D ;D ;D
