HERE'S A TVparty LOOK AT
CHUCKO, THE BIRTHDAY CLOWN
IN REAL VIDEO FORMAT - (2:25)
We get a lot of requests from people wanting to get a copy of the Chucko the Birthday Clown show they were on as a kid. What they don't know is that TV stations routinely erased each day's program to tape the next day's - so very few episodes exist of any local children's shows.
Here are two rare video clips from Chucko, the Birthday Clown:
Live & Kicking was a weekly magazine show broadcast every Saturday morning, normally from September to April and later all year for the final series, and it was aimed at young people. It featured music performances, 'hot seat' questions for celebrity guests, phone-ins, games, comedy sketches, competitions, and television programmes and cartoons. Chuckle definition, to laugh softly or amusedly, usually with satisfaction: They chuckled at the child's efforts to walk.
Chucko does a remote with the Los Angeles Fire Department's first fire-fighting helicopter. Then it's back to the studio for a pie eating contest.
The aftermath of a pie eating contest had a couple of the kids almost throwing up!
- From a book review in this morning’s L.A. Times: “While novelist Cixin Liu’s humanity on the whole is conservative, some characters. Are determined to save civilization at all costs.”.
- The Chuckle Brothers. Dorothy Prior the BBC s head of Children s output recently defended the beleaguered Saturday morning show Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow by saying: 'There is a real value in.
No wonder, the show used those awful grocery store freezer cream pies from the early sixties. Chucko wipes pie into the eyes of the winner, then gives him a skateboard - called a 'Ski and Skate' back then. What fun!
:TVparty printed a false rumor that Chucko had passed away and we got this welcome message:
'As for the whereabouts' of CHUCKO, I am not dead, but alive and in good health living in Grants Pass, Oregon.
During my reign in TV I was affectionately referred to as CHUCKO, THE BIRTHDAY CLOWN, upon my departure from television my son took over the title of CHUCKO from 1971 through l995.
'I have a lot of fond memories of the television days.I would like to converse by E-Mail with those who have participated on our TV Show from 1954 through l961.
'Best regards and thanks for your exciting programs'
- Chucko

Just some random stuff that I liked, and wanted to show y'all.
First off, is a note from PeaGreen. Now, I know we've got some friends from New Orleans, so don't take this personal.
Consider this your 'Saturday Morning Chuckle!'

Monday Morning Chuckle
Who says Cajuns are stupid?
Everyone is implying, with bad jokes, that Cajuns aren't smart.
I disagree!!! Anybody who would build a city 10 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone, and fill it with Democrats is damn well of genius caliber!
...Two...Three...Four... Oh! NOW you get it! Bwahahahahahahaha!
Walt sends this video, along with a note -
I wonder if the TSA would make this guy take off his bricks?
FoxNews has got one of those optical illusion galleries posted this morning. Some of 'em are pretty good. I don't know, though. Is it just ME, or is there something kinda obscene about this one?
And oh yeah, a couple more things. Here's a picture of New York Harbor if we don't stop all this global warming pretty soon.
Well, that's about all I got this morning. I'm working on some really good junk about Black History Month, and racism, and just how WRONG The Gooble is, that I'll show y'all maybe this weekend.Y'all have a blessed day, okay? I love y'all! I mean it!
