Winky Dink and You

Please visit my website : tooner11118.wixsite.com/markm....
I'm an animator who was raised in the 1950s. I remember drawing directly on my TV as I didn't have the Winky Dink kit. I wonder how many other kids did the same thing.
An episode of the 1950's Television program "Winky Dink and You". Innovative, original, creative and unique. Praised as "the first interactive TV show". That said, without it's original context, it's little more than a historic curiosity, and some viewers may find it very difficult to watch. This video is in the public domain.

[@ellenfoustphotography]

My uncle, Edwin Wyckoff, created this show. It aired for a few years & ultimately failed because of the writing on the screen. It goes down in history as the very first multimedia interactive educational product. It was animated by hand. It is on exhibit at the Jewish Museum in New York now.

[@captlarry-3525]

+Ellen Foust great history.. thanks

[@glpsecurity00]

AWESOME.....

I loved the show. You weren't supposed to write on the picture, but some kids coudn't control themselves. Thanks to your Uncle Ed.

Didn't we all. Mom, it's color TV. She gave us a piece of plastic or cellophane to use.

I too had the Winky Dink kit and magic screen. I drew on it and saved Winky from danger every episode. We didn't know it then but we were doing something way ahead of it's time: Interactive TV.

[@wayneyadams]

Before the kit that my Mom bought for me arrived, I drew directly on the TV screen with my crayons. After my Dad convinced me it was a bad idea by giving me a very sore butt with his belt, I waited for the kit before trying again. LOL

I had the kit and I still have all the memories. Hello to the fellow "Winky Dink" players. Always nice to be reminded of the simpler days.

[@alainmichel3203]

Winky's voice is none other than the very versatile and dynamic voice of Mae Questal, voice of Olive Oil and Betty Boop.

[@Tornado1994]

Mae didn't voice Olive Oil until the 40s. She also voiced Little Audrey.

[@alainmichel3203]

Not true, Tornado! Beginning in 1933, Questel provided the voice for Olive Oyl in the Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons beginning with "I Eats Me Spinach" and became essentially the permanent voice until 1938 until her hiatus to start a family. I have the complete DVD set of the Popeye cartoons and can attest to the above.

[@barbarabush252]

I was born in 1948 and remember my Winky Dink kit but I promise it was in the early-mid 50s, not the 60s. Loved this show, along with Ding Dong School.

[@crabbingclammingboatcampin4962]

It was 1953 or 1954. I was about 3 or 4 years old. I got my magic screen and Mom put it on our tiny TV screen. It was magical. Such a long time ago.

Decades later, when Jack Barry hosted his Jokers Wild game Show I wrote comedy adlibs for him. Jack was a great guy who loved people. One time I told him how much.I enjoyed Winky Dink. He had fond memories of that show. He had framed in his wall Winky with a Magic Winduw overlaid on top. ...Rowby.

Barry and Enright productions made a lot of shows later on, mostly they were adult game shows.

[@marthalillard3193]

This show was on at 3pm our time and every day, even if I was playing outside, Mother said I would rush in the house and turn on the TV to see Winky Dink. I loved this show, and even though I had the kit, I sometimes colored right on the TV screen!

[@TheJudy62]

At first I was thinking, "Dear God, this show was an insult to kids' intelligence" but then I considered the twisted crap that is aimed at them these days, along with all of the sick stuff that they have access to online and via cable when their parents aren't around. Gimme Romper Room any day.

[@shergc]

I remember this show and how bad I felt because I didn't have the kit. I didn't draw on the TV because I knew I'd get in trouble. Don't know why I kept watching it. Probably damaged me for life. :-)

[@Tagurrit]

Same here.

[@williamdelong8265]

Yea me too.

[@jeopardy60611]

My mother told me that she watched this show back in the late 40s or early 50s. I'm a computer programmer, and I'm thinking about how such a thing would work in the 21st Century. There would be a Windows Paint sort of screen that would have icons to select the markers and overlay the drawing with the video image. The app could automatically "erase" everything that's drawn on when it's time to erase, or there could be a button to erase everything. I find it so fascinating that they made this interactive program work before there was computer technology.

[@SpeegBJ]

You're looking at the fundamentals of what you can do with a screen!

[@robertkatz3029]

Winky Dink is quite literally the first television show I remember. I began watching in, I think, 1954 or 1955 so I must have been three or four years old. Had the kit; drew on the screen by accident a couple of times. My parents were displeased but they considered it an accident too so I don't think I was punished beyond a bit of scolding.

[@servantpatriot9398]

I remember when MY Winky-Dink kit came in the mail. I couldn't wait for the next program to try it out. I cannot even fathom a kid of today doing this. It was fun and I enjoyed it.

[@karlbmiles]

I remember a show on Sat. mornings that used a screen like this. They would put up a display of segments of letters that the kids traced with a crayon, then another display of other segements of letters, and so on, until all the segements the kids were tracing formed complete letters. This was a "secret" message that only the kids with the screen and crayons would have. Anybody remember this?

[@grsbigsky1]

I didn't know we could see these on KZbin. I loved this show. I also used to draw on my tv until my mother got sick of cleaning it and bought me the kit LOL!

[@richardblue9945]

It's good to see that others remember this. I too directly wrote on the TV screen when I could not find the "film" to decode the message. Of course, my parents were upset, duh !!! BUT I never read very much about this ground breaking concept. I still think it would work now. It was a terrific idea WAY ahead of its time.

[@1tiredteacher]

We used Saran wrap and a grease pencil - couldn't afford the kit. I watch this now and just marvel at how simple the program was. BTW, Winky's voice is Mae Questel.

[@kevinb2014]

Loved the show as a kid. I wonder if most of the Winky Dink kits were bought by parents who were tired of trying to stop their kids from drawing directly on the TV screen with crayons! Even though it was six decades ago, I still remember getting scolded for using crayons on our TV screen, but I also remember applying the film sheet to the TV screen, so I suspect the sequence was: watch show, draw on glass with crayons, get scolded, cry and whine, Mom feels bad, Mom orders kit, son eagerly awaits kit arrival, son uses kit, Mom relieved! Good business plan for the producers, but also a great way of getting kids to interact with the program. Thanks for posting this video!

I had a Winky Dink kit. I think I saved up 50 cents which was a lot of money in those days. I remember how excited I was when it showed up. You would help Winky get out of trouble by drawing bridges so Winky could cross it. It was mid 50s I was about 8.. first interactive game. So simple so innocent. Good old days. I watched until the end and I was right 50 cents. Shows you how significant that 50 cents was. I'm 77 and still remember how much I paid. It's good, no Alzheimer's .

I remember reading somewhere that it was a big issue, and one of the reasons the show was eventually canceled. Crayon wax is hard to remove from almost any surface, let alone a TV screen. Some kids (much to their mothers' dismay) discovered that using a sheet of regular cling wrap worked just as well.

I never tried to draw directly onto the TV screen myself. My parents sent for the kit. I was eager to try the "magic window", but was in for a big disappointment. The magic window was sized for a much smaller more old-fashioned TV screen, maybe 13 inch. I'm pretty sure it was much smaller than the one the girl puts on the screen in this video.

[@sherryschropp8272]

I had the kit. Loved the show.

[@hitty9]

Putting on the plastic sheet was a matter of generating static electricity and using that to help it adhere. Very hard to get it to stick without bubbles or wrinkles. Then you would trace one line at a time. They would only show one line at a time, so unless you drew, you didn't know what the image they were drawing was. Once you went to all that trouble, you were hesitant to take it down and erase the image you had created. Only after you peeled it off when you were finished did you realize that you had been watching TV for hours that had a very dim picture because of the dark tint of the plastic. It was such a bonus getting your bright picture back again!
