It’s amazing how much these early Christian teachings have influenced me to this day, I remember waking up every single Sunday morning and watching JOT,!as a child learning so much.

[@rajvader]

Whoa! All these years I thought Jot had just been a Count Chocula induced hallucination!

[@2emeraldeyes477]

Ha ha ha Me too! But I favored Frankenberry and Boo Berry! I knew my Jot hallucination was something but couldn't quite remember it. Love this!

[@emilywhitfield2780]

Loved this when I was little!

[@truebootsyes]

Jot rules!!! Loved EVERYTHING about Jot- thank you so much for the post!¡!¡!

[@StukInBuf]

When I lived in New Orleans, sometimes they would put a JOT episode in the midst of the "Popeye and Pals" show on Channel 4(WWL).

Lo recuerdo con mucha nostalgia. Lo veía en 1979 ó 1980 en la casa de un vecino donde a los niños del vecindario nos permitían ver televisión. En español se llamaba "Puntito". Realmente excelente. I remember this cartoon with nostalgia. I watched it in 1979/1980 in a neighbor´s house where a family used to let us to watch tv. In Spanish it was called "Puntito" (Little Dot). Really great!

[@dsmith9964]

I remember Jot promoting finger puppets. Send 25c to a PO Box in Fort Worth, Texas....

[@mrtselfdefense4185]

JOT Box 341, Ft. Worth Texas 76116 "I know you'll like them. He, he, he." I can't remember the name of someone I met yesterday, but that address is stuck in my head.

[@soylentteal]

I remember that, too. I lived in Dallas when it first aired in the late 60s.

[@bigbangbop]

The Children's Hour, hosted by the great Bill Kelley!

[@paulppchristman5827]

Oh, so THAT'S what the "surprise" was. I'd see the address on the tv screen at the end of an episode while Jot informed us that we could send a postcard or letter there and receive a surprise in return. Jot was an excellent little animated series which encouraged good behavior and taught Christian values to kids without being overly preachy. Thanks for the info !

[@jeffking4176]

Wow. I used to watch this show on Sunday Morning. I believe it came on before “The MULL SINGING CONVENTION “. As a kid, I’d watch both. For some reason , something reminded me of JOT, so I came here. Thanks for sharing this.😁

[@yahsherel8889]

Man I remember this ,I use to watch it on Sunday mornings

[@ladyofthecreek279]

Jot the Dot just came up in my mind after decades 🙌😆

[@jackjanssen9040]

This was originally produced by the Southern Baptist Convention.

"Fathers, provoke not thy children to wrath." - Ephesians 6:4

[@soylentteal]

I watched this in the late 60s as I jotted down my homework assignment.

[@MegaKnutz]

I use to watch joy junction all the time

[@markstevens4057]

This was originally a production of the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission that was located in Fort Worth Texas from 1953 till the late 80's. It was the brainchild of its former director Dr. Paul M. Stevens who took the small organization from a one hour radio program in Atlanta called The Baptist Hour, to the largest religious radio and television network in the world at that time. Initially the commission's only offering was "The Baptist Hour," but Stevens was an innovator in developing programs designed to appeal to non-Christian audiences. Those programs -- "Powerline," "CountryCrossroads" and "Master Control" -- are still core offerings today, airing free of charge on more than 1,500 stations around the country.

[@agirlwholovesjesus]

Powerline, with Brother John Rivers! Listened to it late at night from different stations that I could pick up from Grand Rapids,Michigan. Loved that show! 🎶...You're on the Powerline...🎶

[@savgal1211]

Me, too!! WE would say "Jot Jot, the Christian Dot"!!

[@tarahjicheatham]

I’m a Christian too

[@savgal1211]

@@tarahjicheatham do you remember the cartoon called jot? He was a circle or I guess a. LOL, who would expound Upon Jesus in the Bible and stories that kids could understand I forget who his friend was he Pals around with you can probably find jot videos on KZbin. I know this comment is old, but I hope you get it

[@tarahjicheatham]

No I was born in 2009

[@mlfitness67]

Why am I the only one of my friends and family that remembers this show along with Waldo kitty? 🤔

[@lonnieadams7841]

Nobody I know remembers him. So glad this was posted so people stop looking at me crazy when I mention him... Lol Would only see him on Popeye and pals.

[@stephensmith7786]

I just remember that growing up in upstate NY in the 70's, this was the only cartoon on Sunday mornings. Being Jewish, I somehow never associated it with the Bible though watching it today I don't know how I didn't figure that out!

[@cueQu]

Being baked make this shit hilarious

[@bugpal]

I don't remember him being a religious cartoon.

[@moxxy8626]

If Jot wasn't religious I would love this at a whole new level

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Dirty hands=Dirty mind!

[@jonathanmlgaard9698]

Det er Frederik Strandridder

[@kadarylerorecord5287]

when did they stop airing this cartoon

[@planetrob555]

@dapinkpwner2008 In life, "In soviet Russia" has been overused. Sorry.

[@iusemariotheman]

Yo wsp guys

[@cm37177]

WHO TFIT

[@MileyonDisney]

This would play right after we got home from Sunday school. Absolutely hated it! Thought it was the worst cartoon ever. Just now looked it up to see if it was as bad as I remember it to be. It is.

[@apollozero]

All about religious guilt. Lol Such fun for kids.

[@somerandomuser3465]

Um no? I don't think you should always obey your parents. The actual lesson should just be to wash your hands. But otherwise how would they add god and say that you would go to hell or whatever if you don't wash your hands just to make the kids who watch this feel shitty about themselves. This might be the worst lesson from the show

[@sherifox4437]

I had forgotten all about Jot. I loved him.

[@hollygraphics1]

I love JOT! :)

[@oletacopsey1361]

ONE OF OUR FAVORITES GROWING UP!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@TonyBeazley]

when times were good.... loved this show..

[@patrixspringer2753]

Yeah Guilt is important in these Sunday Toons. I watched this as it was one of two cartoons on Sunday mornings. The other was the Lutheran's Davey & Goliath.

[@1manwalkingfreakshow]

I gotta get an emoticon with Jot's expression at 0:26 -- priceless. X-) In fact, a batch of Jot emoticons would be pretty sweet. Jot: the proto-emoticon. And on therapy... disobeying your good, godly parents and looking like a muddy slob is considered mentally healthy? No wonder this world is all goofed up.

[@licey71]

Used to watch this as a kid in the Dominican. We called it Puntito. Played on the Sheriff Marcos Show. Thanks!

[@vore-x9827]

this cartoon learning you how to be a good kid

[@zenfloater8146]

All in all, ,,, they were all just bricks in the wall

[@NoahAnimates]

My dad says he remembers being two years old hoping a good cartoon would come on. Then this would come on and he'd rip his hair out. Then after this, it would be "Simon In The Land of Chalk Drawings". He'd rip more hair out. By the end of the day he'd be bald.

[@pinktoystore]

Most awe-some video ever!

[@brangelospanks1244]

ol' jot

[@johnyzero2000]

Jeez feeling guilty over dirty hands, i'd to think what would happed if he did something really bad.

[@vh3472]

Nothing like using God to make a child feel even more guilty and anxious than he already does. UGH.

[@pegbars]

Eh, shut up. What do you know about morality?

[@MrBROTHERFELDER]

Did you notice though that his teacher was kind and patient in the way she explained it? Then Jot ended up benefiting. I wouldn’t eat at a restaurant where they didn’t wash their hands would you?

[@YerkesDodsonCurve]

@@pegbars Well I'm not hostile and aggressive to people on purpose. So put that in your morality pipe and smoke it, I guess.

[@thaliarubio4087]

Better than JOT seeing his 2 Dads in SF fisting each other. Thx

[@swampwiz]

Yes, early morning Sunday cartoons were bad. But at least Popeye and the 3 Stooges came on in the later part of the morning.

[@itzcindyrella]

loved it, except the religion part

[@pegbars]

Well, piss on you, ya heathen.

[@bleikrsound6127]

Jot you evil . . . whatever you are!!

[@zilaxia]

I don't like religious cartoons I don't even have a religion but if some people like this then that's fine it's just my dumb opinion

[@pegbars]

Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to Christianity.

[@YerkesDodsonCurve]

Your opinion isn't dumb. I don't like religious cartoons either. Jot always gave me the creeps as a kid.
