Kiddie Shows (was: [UC] Malcolm X Park's Seasonal Maintenance Attendant)
Actually, Wilma, I think Uncle Pete Boyle was on Channel 3 (WRCP-TV). And of course, there was Sally Starr on Channel 6, WFIL, with Popeye cartoons and the Three Stooges. There was also this weird cartoon, Clutch Cargo where there was little or no animation, but actual people's mouths would speak the dialogue. Plus, all of those old 1930's era movie theater cartoons were on all of the kiddie shows. And not to mention Bertie the Bunyip which was some kind of a sock puppet. (Channel 12 recently had a show about the old local kiddie shows where it was explained what a bunyip was, but I forget exactly; I think it was a mythical creature.) I remember the PBS forerunner, NET, which had this deep-voiced announcer which would intone National Educational Television. My older family members would occasionally watch the actual shows, which seemed particularly dull to me--man, talk about B-O-R-I-N-G!!!

Re: Kiddie Shows (was: [UC] Malcolm X Park's Seasonal Maintenance Attendant)
Actually Channel 3's call letters were WRCV. They were located at 1619 Walnut St. until Group W bought them, (not quite sure when) and they became KYW-TV. You are quite right about WFIL-TV and radio, (Famous 56 AM), but WCAU-TV has the same call letters since 1948. In fact, there were just two CBS Affiliates in 1948 when television really went national: WCBS-TV Channel 2 in New York and WCAU-TV Channel 10 in Philadelphia. I STILL get confused between Channel 3 and 10 after they switched network affiliates because WCAU-10 was that since there was television. Perhaps on Channel 3 was where I saw Uncle Pete Boyle, but he began on Educational-TV 12. Of course I remember Clutch Cargo (with Spinner and Paddlefoot), and Space Angel) on WFIL. ALSO, Lee Dexter's puppets Bertie The Bunyip, Fussie and Gussie, and Sir Guy-dee-Guy,the Fox on WRCV-3. Perhaps others might remember Lorenzo.

Re: Kiddie Shows (was: [UC] Malcolm X Park's Seasonal Maintenance Attendant)
The end of the 5000 block of Osage and Larchwood Aves. is right across from
Black Oak Park.
I shall try to dig up links about Uncle Pete.
His son, the actor Peter Boyle was the one who grew up in that area. Joe
('America: Love It or Leave It'), (Young Frankenstein as The Monster),
Everybody Loves Raymond as the father.
Many more motion pictures and television programs I cannot remember right
now.
I'll do my research on his dad.

Re: Kiddie Shows (was: [UC] Malcolm X Park's Seasonal Maintenance Attendant)
Peter Boyle went to a West Catholic prom with my oldest sister Mary Beth. Shortly after graduation, Mary Beth chose Paul Yost as her steady, and Pete joined one of the celibate orders, I think the Christian Brothers. He lasted a year or two and than he moved on to acting. My mom always said she liked Pete (she liked tall men, and he was definitely taller than Paul). He had good manners and was a good Catholic boy. Paul has stayed the course. He and Mary Beth have been married for over 50 years, have 6 kids (now all grown). When I was a kid I was always hearing how I missed out on seats in the audience at Uncle Pete's show (courtesy of Mary Beth's friendship with Peter) and Trips to American Bandstand. (my beautiful and bad, elder sisters were always pulled from the line and let in.) My mother had her first kid at 15 and her last at 45 and the rhythm method kept the 12 of us far enough apart that we were raised in different times and cultures. Bobby was working his way toward Commander in the USN during WWII, Billy served in the army in Japan was all Elvis, all the time, and Kevin spent 18-21 praying for a low draft number and hoping to avoid a trip to Vietnam. The neighborhood was smaller than. I can remember WALKING to the Yeadon Movie theater from 43rd and Larchwood every summer Saturday for 25 cent movies, and nickel popcorn and sodas. Today kids are driven to reserved seating at 40th and Locust. I think we knew our neighborhood landmarks better. But the people were divided by their school systems. Catholic School teens rarely knew the Publics or the Privates Best! Liz On Mon, 13 Aug 2007 20:43:56 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm curious to know more about Uncle Pete Boyle.
