My family is in Chicago, where my husband and I grew up, and we were enchanted to find a tribute to the children’s television shows we loved as kids on WGN last night. In those early days of television, children’s programming was local and the three biggest shows in Chicago were Ray Rayner, Garfield Goose, and of course Bozo the Clown. We especially loved these two holiday treats — think of them as a very early form of music video — and watching them together last night was every bit as much fun as it was back in the 1950’s, and even better because we got to enjoy them together.
