[@ken_danerdiest1]

That is so great! Even though the fact that I wasn't around in '72, but I enjoy seeing these rarities on this channel.

[@donparker8246]

I was 6 when this aired. I watched it every time I was home at noon on channel 9. Such good memories. 🥲🎄❤️

[@debbiebrown4420]

I was 11 and in the 6th grade at the time.

[@mitchkite9354]

Great glimpse into the Bozo Show. I watched it everyday as a kid.

[@TheRealPynkPanther]

Fantastic! I watch the Bozo special on channel 9 yesterday evening and it was so beautiful❤I'm looking forward to this on this Christmas day🎉🎄👍🏼

[@JimGrey]

I started kindergarten in 1972, and many of the kids would walk home for lunch and come back telling what they saw on Bozo that day!

[@hansa3580]

Isn't it funny that we had time to walk home, eat a bite of lunch, watch Bozo's Circus, and make it back to school, on time, 😂😂😂! Maybe the lunch hours were longer then, 😅thanks for the Chicago memories!

[@TS1964]

I was 8😂 ... Great memories

[@Marcg-b4n]

1971 I was on Bozo. I was in first grade living in Lagrange IL.

Thanks Fuzzy and Crew. Merry Christmas 🧑‍🎄⛄🎁🎄

[@hansa3580]

What an unbelievable and amazing find, the comments on this page, submitted by fans of Bozo's Circus, such an important part of all of our childhoods in Chicago!😢!

[@CookieGirl881]

Like it when anything is found of this show. Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas.

[@sjdrifter72]

I was a 9 month, 12 day old baby when this was televised. It was my very first Christmas.

[@psykodj67]

Thank you for sharing I always love seeing old Bozo clips..I always pray that they would find my appearance in the Spring of 1975..Merry Christmas All

[@pika23]

This was so cute! Bozo looked like so much fun! I love watching the kids who are now my elders or fellow gen x contemporaries. My husband was 5 months old when this aired. I wouldn't be around for another 6 years lol.

[@jonathanwooldridge7679]

So awesome!

[@christopherjudge1138]

God bless Chicago's Bozo!

[@williamtaylor5852]

Truly neat

[@Johnnymacdee]

Wonderful.

[@cee8mee]

I was 9 that Christmas

[@joeybaseball7352]

Amazing. There's not a single soul in that audience that even had a thought that 52 years later, people would ever watch this. Makes you sad thinking about it. Most of the people shown in this tape are long gone. Most, if not all of the adults are gone. The few that are still kicking, are quite old now. And unfortunately some of the kids are gone too. It's been 52 years after all. They didn't all make it. That's just statistics. And the little babies, if still alive, would be the youngest ones in their early 50s today. My one hope with these, besides seeing them myself, usually for the first time, as I never got to watch Bozo. I was always in school. But my one hope is that somebody who was in the audience sees this, and gets a great joy out of it.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

Thumbs UP.

[@TheTVsTim]

1:41 I assume this is the little seen Clod Hopper? Elrod T. Potter was chubbier and a redhead.

[@TheTVsTim]

Should have read the description, sorry!

[@carystorm1863]

​@@TheTVsTimsame ,don't remember Clod Hopper and I watched this show religiously, I was 8 so.....

[@wmbrown6]

@@carystorm1863 - Clod was only on the show about a year. He was gone by 1973.

[@jamesmoss3424]

Thanks this one is new to me also Bozo is a legend. 😀👍🤡🎅

[@jamesmoss3424]

Merry Christmas 🎅. 😀👍🤡🎅

[@RetroWinnipeg]

So…this is something that wasn’t from the Peabody submission archives?

[@BluetheFortune2006]

1:51 My my, Cooky looks a little different here!

[@carystorm1863]

The first one I thought was Oliver o Oliver played by my favorite mourning guy Ray Rayner but he looks different here but I thought Cookie looked the same. I also should have read the whole description.

[@wmbrown6]

Now that you mention it, his look did evolve somewhat over the years.

The lighting wasn't as good and there was less set dressing. Weird shots of the floor. But excellent tape quality.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

well, you are judging the lighting by today's technology...remember, MOST people in 1972 still had black and white T.v sets.

[@joeybaseball7352]

I don't know how Fuzzy get such high quality transfers. But it's nothing short of miraculous.
