If anybody is going to be near the airport around 10:00a on June 14th, and you see an old hippie standing outside the Delta Air Lines arrivals area looking like he wants to go to a motel in Southfield, have pity on his broken down old ass and pick him up. He will be confused.

airport...Mikey-Angel & I can take you to where you are going.

Winky-Dink & You'
PART TWO
[[click here for part one)
by Billy Ingram and You

'Winky-Dink And You' was Jack Barry's second successful kid's show - 'Juvenile Jury' was the first, running from 1948-1955 on both NBC and CBS. On that show, a panel of kids dispensed advice to other children with problems relevant to life in the Fifties - like what to do when Mom says clean up your room. [[Answer: you do it.)
On every Winky Dink & You program and every toy you will find the names of the two creators of the first interactive TV program. One is Harry Prichett Sr. who sadly died in 2000 [[see sidebar). The other is Edwin Brit Wyckoff who is alive and well in New York City.

"Creating Winky Dink and the participation technique now called 'interactivity' was pure joy for both of us," Ed Wyckoff writes us. "Making it work was explosive excitement from which we never recovered.
"Jack Barry and Dan Enright produced the 1953-57 show with us on CBS. It ran 'live' on about 175 stations on Saturday for a year. Then CBS added a Sunday line-up of stations because kids wanted to play with Winky day after day.
"Watch a kid playing with the kit and videocassette today and you'll see them explode with the same excitement Harry and I experienced when a kid's drawing turns from cannonball to car wheel to tennis ball to wrecking ball...and saves Winky from the bad guys.
"The magic screen is not cellophane. It is pure magic and no one yet has guessed why that tinted green plastic stuck to the screen. I know and I ain't telling.
"That marvelous musical theme came from John Gart. Norman Mazin, who is my partner in a video production company here in New York, drew all the original stories. Harry Prichett Sr. drew the original character of Winky who didn't appear in those stories because his blinking-winking head was too big to let the other characters be seen."

Ed Wyckoff handled the animation with a pair of tweezers and a bunch of Winky heads and bodies and eyes and arms. "We used a 16mm Animatic filmstrip projector which was faster than the eye and damn good in terms of budget." Ed Wyckoff continues, "The Winky Dink screen was magic. The crayons were magic. [[Ordinary crayons didn't work.) The show was pure magic.
"For those Winky Dink & You fans who feel alone in the baby-boomer generation...you re not alone. Check in with Bill Gates who loves the show and had it included in a book book on interactive TV he sponsored.
"And try Rosie O'Donnell who said it was her favorite kid show and will sing the theme song if you ask her nicely. She probably can handle all the songs including Winko Blinko and my favorite, Magic Crayons Make Magic Pictures On A Magic Window.
"Note to the guy who is nicknamed Winky: Dan Enright generally called me Winky in the 1950s because my head lit up. Still does sometimes."
The Gaber writes: "The Winky Dink magic coloring kit! Wow! My father wouldn't buy me one so I took the liberty of using my own crayons to draw on our new TV set.
"Later, and upon seeing this, he dragged me and the TV set out on the lawn to show passers-by his new TV and his stupid kid!"

Meanwhile, with daytime successes under his belt, Winky-Dink host Jack Barry turned his attention to prime-time - and inadvertently changed the course of television forever.

Good Mornin' All Ya'll, Home Boy is sorry to say that we will not be attending the reunion this year. We have been called to Lake Tahoe for a dancing gig with the Doobie Brothers and Chicago, but, will wear the T-Shirt with humility. We love you all and will pray for a cool party there and many more later. Rock on!

Dear Naked and Curious, that is correct, my establishment is a 'clothing optional establishment'. But in all fairness to Gar Wooders and their guests, I've opted to attend our event fully clothed. I don't want to scare anyone. I'll wear long underwear, a full camo jumpsuit, no see-through jungle jacket, a full head cover hat with mesh screen and gators and knee socks. I hope I've alleviated any anxiety you all may have about what might be revealed.

Heard about them, but didn't feel anything. Like you stated earlier, if it's not 5.0 or better its no big deal. these were 3.7 and 3.6. i hope you all have a good time at the party, will see you next time.
