Winky-Dink and You (1953)
Gabe Kaplan
4 May 2008 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
I never saw the show, but Gabe Kaplan discussed it in his stand-up routine, which could be heard on his comedy album "Holes and Mello-Rolls". "Mello-Rolls" also had the stand-up bit which was later developed into "Welcome Back Kotter."
Kaplan mentioned he was a fan of the show as a kid, but like most kids, never bothered to get the "magic drawing screen" sold, and instead just drew directly on the TV screen, and did not erase his drawings. His father would be annoyed to find that Gabe had been watching Winky-Dink again, cursing the cartoon that had encouraged his kid to draw all over the TV screen.
