I grew up in Jacksonville, FL, and I definitely remember watching this show when I was a kid. Who could forget “Bozo'a Grand Prize Game?” Since I was watching this show via cable TV, I had no idea that this show was being broadcast out of Chicago. To this day, I remember during one of the commercial breaks, they did a weather report. That is when I ran up to my father and said that it was snowing outside.

It's really nice that you are able to upload these old episodes. I know you have a library of old Bozo shows, and shows from Chicago in general. I'd love it if you would post episodes from different eras of the show. My earliest memories of Bozo was seeing the Red "In-the-Round" set. I know there was a different introduction for that version and there was no Grand March at the end. I would like to see what a complete episode from that era looked like. Also, to this day, I have been wanting to see Bob Bell's last show as Bozo the Clown in its entirety. The archives at the old Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago had that episode, but it cuts off right when the final sketch started, which was a huge pie fight! Finally, my most coveted sought after episodes were the earliest episodes with Joey D'Auria portraying Bozo and Frazier Thomas was still a part of the show until his sudden death in April of 1985. Since they only got to work for about six months, there are few episodes so whatever episodes are out there are a rare find. Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you do preserving these Chicago classics!

17:15 - The juggler's first music is "Java", a tune that was used by the Muppets, and as the closing theme of the classic BBC children's show, "Vision On". His second music is the "Galop Infernal" (AKA "The Can-Can") from Offenbach's opera, "Orpheus in the Underworld". His third music is Herb Alpert's "Spanish Flea". also used as the theme-tune of "The Dating Game". His fourth music (after "Chopsticks") is "The Impossible Dream", from "Man of La Mancha".

In 1969 I met Bozo the Clown 🤡 when I was 2 year's old at a Shopping plaza called Dealy Center in Honolulu, Hawaii with my Mom and Dad and I always watched Bozo's Big Top on TV but to meet him in person was horrifying to me, I screamed and clung on to my Mom as she was holding me and he was coming towards me with that gaping smile and his arms outstretched that must of been a nightmare for the guy dressed up as Bozo having to deal with kid's like me 🤣🤣

I wonder why Garfield Goose was introduced in the opener, but not featured in the episode. My guess is that because the show was live, they were pressed for time and because some parts of the show may have gone on too long, in order to fulfill their obligation of running so many ads during the show, some parts had to be shortened (such as one of the sketches) or scrapped altogether. They most likely did have a skit prepared with Garfield Goose but got dropped because of time.

Well, being from the Chicago land area, I learned something here. I always thought it was strictly a regional Chicago area only (except for maybe reruns) show. I did not know it was franchised out. One commenter says they saw it with a southern accent, lol. That would be .......unsettling lol. I suspect though that , that was only after it became a bigger hit and cable TV (opening up new channels). I know it originated in Chicago along with Ray Rainer whom I adored and still miss. Wish my kids had only Ray to tell the weather and entertain before school instead of today's crap (and internet). My understanding is that most of those shows were done live and never recorded so all that great wholesome talent and entertainment exists mostly just in the minds of us Boomers.

The Bozo television shows did not begin in Chicago. But the Chicago franchise did become the most successful and long-lasting one. The Bozo character had been around since 1946, long before the original Bozo voice actor, Pinto Colvig, first portrayed Bozo on live television in 1948. A decade later, the rights to Bozo and the other characters were turned into a franchised show for local TV station productions. The first regular Bozo show debuted in Los Angeles, with Colvig's son stepping into his father's big shoes for the role. Followed quickly by local Bozo shows in Detroit, Washington DC, New York, Boston, Denver, Nashville, New Orleans, and Minneapolis in 1959. The Chicago version did not go on the air until the following year, in 1960.

This comment is from a guy who wishes TV stayed like this to this very day. No new TV networks, no morning news shows, just great kids shows made just for local independent VHF and UHF channels. First I'd give anything to have the Fuzzy guy find a Bozo show where one kid actually made it to bucket 6 in the Grand Prize Game, even though that was very rare. Secondly, (and I'll try to keep this as G-rated as possible) when the girl made it to bucket 3, one of the prizes was a Charlie's Angels gift set. Bozo said, "Cooky has one of these" and Frazier said, "I'll bet he does". I guess even clowns like to fantasize over Charlie's Angels, too.

Bozo's Circus was still live at this point... so why does Fraiser Thomas change his sportscoat so many times in an episode? In the taped episode days years later I thought the different color suit jackets was because they shot individual sequences in addition to full episodes, and those clip shows had several different taping days in an single episode. It's not like he got into a pie fight and needed to change, nor is it a chroma key thing. Maybe he just likes changing blazers multiple times an hour?

Maybe it's so he could deduct the cost of his entire wardrobe as a business expense. As long as he wore an item of clothing on the show, it was deductible as a business expense. Or maybe it was because a sponsor gave him the clothes in exchange for him wearing them on the air, and a credit at the end of the show, thanking the sponsor (which is actually an advertisement for the sponsor).

Chicago had the longest lasting Bozo. WGN became a national superstation via cable in the late 70s, as the local Bozos were starting to phase out, thus why so many growing up in that era on only associate the WGN Bozo(s). By the early 90s, only a few remained, namely Grand Rapids and Philadelphia.
