[@landit]

Well Done WGN, well done. Thank you for the memories. Moved me to tears.

[@MediaWest]

[@BrianRetro]

To hear Bob Bell use his natural voice while being interviewed in full Bozo attire was a rarity.

[@budderbawlz6564]

Thanks for the great memories WGN you get a BOZO BUTTON 💚👍

[@user-tv2gg6bw7j]

I still have my Bozo buttons

[@janettemcclelland2959]

I watched Bozo every morning before school after we got cable in Los Angeles in the late 70's. Thanks for the memories.

This was a flash of my childhood . Great times, Chicago .

[@2KGrind09]

I would watch Bozo before school every morning & I grew up in Houston. Thanks WGN

[@christiangonzales7429]

I'm in Houston too. I remember watching on weekend mornings.

[@joewojtecki9991]

Me, my mom, dad and sister got to meet Bozo, Cookie and Frazier Thomas at the Santa's Village in East Dundee in the early 80s. They did some type of stage show. And then after everybody got to meet them. They were nice.

[@merkury06]

Bozo the clown , Frazier Thomas and Ray Raynor! Thank you for contributing to a wonderful childhood!!!

[@MayberryAIArt]

WGN is an American treasure.

[@man316420]

Wish I could find the Bozo 40 years of fun special! I remember see that and enjoying it so much

[@BrianRetro]

I have it on tape.

[@jbtornado]

@@BrianRetropost it on here. We’d love you forever

[@volvoguy804]

I particularly liked Joey D'Uria's voice as Bozo. I watched the show every morning in the early 80s before going to school.

[@user-tv2gg6bw7j]

I was on the Bozo show in 1977/78 I was chosen to play a game where I had a partner and had to wrap him in toilet paper like a mummy. We won a box of Suzie Q's and a tootsie roll bank full of candy. I still have my Bozo and Cookie buttons!

[@cjjorge6636]

RIP TO THE ONE"S THAT MAKE US A CLOWN SMILING FAMILY !! BOZO/COOKIE/THE REST OF THE CAST WILL LIVE ON FOR EVER WITH US !!!!

[@m.lecollie3565]

In Southern California during the 60s Bozo was on channel 5 KTLA. And on channel 7 KABC there was Chucko's Circus. With Chucko the Birthday Clown. Ah..... memories.

[@goldeneve]

Chicago in the 70s-90s was a great time

[@VBaskin2010]

You know maybe someday a toy company like LEGO, Mattel, or even Hasbro can be the 1st toy company ot own this legendary station and revamped it as Chicago's 1st TV station built and create by kids, for kids, and to kids, just as long they don't get rid of the news that's for the grown ups.

[@allanegleston4931]

dang, no more . need more of this or dig this out of the archives . remember seeing romper room in the los angles market.

[@kingdelbert]

How'd you know I was doing research on these shows????????

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Started recording WGN in 1979 when it came to our Cable system in Maine. Sold it to a collector who is working on transferring the collection

[@omundomagicodelobato]

You have bozo specials ?

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

@@omundomagicodelobato Sold them all. I actually posted one here years ago but it was removed for copyright. Started taping WGN in 1979

[@windycity7191]

To had been one of the kids chosen to play the Grand Prize Game!!!……Bozo was just the best in those days

[@briansivley2001]

While I never went to see a taping of Bozo I did eventually get the chance to meet Joey D'Auria who was the Second person to do Bozo and the one that i grew up watching. I'm subscribed to Abdullahsmash026 on KZbin and I learned that not only would Abdullahsmash026 be at The AMC Randherst Theater for a showing of Yokai Watch The Movie but Joey D'Auria one of the main voice actors in the anime was going to be appearing and signing autographs with Abdullahsmash026 and it was sanctioned by the creators of the franchise Level 5. I literally found it out the night before it so I was originally intending to go to see the movie at Century Theater in Downtown Evanston but I had to change my plans and chose AMC Randherst to see it which I had to take Lyft there which was worth it. I did meet Joey D'Auria which was technically my first time meeting a voice actor but I got a childhood dream come true meeting Bozo The Clown in person the clown who was my childhood idol and I finally got to meet him 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆. It still feels like a dream that never happened but it did happen and I have proof.

Bozo was has had one the greatest parts of my Childhood!!

[@jeremyhall2727]

I loved watching his show in the 90's

[@jeopardy60611]

I was in the Bozo audience in 1976 with my mother. I wanted to play the Grand Prize Game so badly but the Magic Arrows didn't fall my way. I recall that when Mr. Ned says "Who's your favorite clown," there is often some kid in the background yelling "Cookie" just to be different.

[@chicagorose66]

I remember going to the bozo show… I wanted to see cookie and shank his hand ..😄 my mom was at the laundry mat with her friend and saying look my daughter on tv…to everyone 😂

[@pboyd8354]

I am looking for the song by bozo the clown in the 1960's called Belinda's Rainy Day. It was on the B side of a 45 record I got for Christmas. Does anyone know how I could go about hearing it again? Pretty sure that was the title song.

[@matthewnachel7112]

Also, I enjoy the peace of bozo cookie, the clown and Wizo I remember years ago I met all them I forgot how but I was at a signing somewhere I think and I was able to meet them and get their signature and it was years ago but it was awesome to meet those people celebrities I called them

[@KennyRyman]

The ghoul was the best... hey hey hey

[@darrellmfume4020]

I am a sentimental kinda guy. growing up in the 70's and 80's. boy, I tell you. this gets you thinking about a bygone era. Family Classic was a time on Sunday afternoons the whole family would watch T.v together. nowadays families are in different rooms of the same house, doing different things. one watching T.v,. another on the cell phone, this one on a laptop, and another on an I. Pad.

[@IEPFilms]

Does anyone remember "Spiffy The Clown?" He was on the show for a brief amount of time and he's never mentioned in any of these segments.

[@glenbard07]

He was on when I started watching. I remember seeing Wizzo once, and I remember Cooky also was in the credits, but I never saw him since Roy Brown was having health problems at that time.

[@Lupton2000]

Joey was the Bozo. He has a gift:)

[@deadname...]

I was on the Bozo show...... many many moons ago.

We used to get the dirty dragon show on one of the philly srations in NJ . Then it became the gigglesnort hotel

Bozo and Cooky are the reason I'm not scared of clowns and I don't understand why people are.

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

[@weready1264]

Hey, I was told that there was a young man named Maddox that played the handlebars on the bozo show, could you please look it up and play it in the morning. Please and thank you

[@americandevo]

My mother in law ordered tickets for Bozo's Circus as soon as she learned I was pregnant. We got the tickets and went when my son was 4. The studio was tiny and the music was loud! The Circus act that day was a man with preforming poodles. I think I enjoyed it more than my son did!

[@frankied2871]

Brings back great memories when kids were kids and we all knew we were either a boy or girl.
