The Rootie Kazootie Club 1953 ABC
I've been lucky to get my 16mm & 35mm celluloid film collection acquired by Indiana Universities Film restoration program, and first up is bringing my boomer fan base The Rootie Kazootie Club show.
Barry I. Grauman notes: This is a 1953 episode, as ABC scheduled Rootie on weekday afternoons at 5:45pm(et)- mostly on the East Coast- under the sponsorship of Gordon Baking Company {Silvercup bread}. Dennis James' "CHANCE OF A LIFETIME", mentioned at 14:25, was seen on Thursdays at 8:30pm(et) from May 1952 through August 1953.

I hope this is also preserved in the internet archives.
I've never heard of this show but it was on 6 years before my time

We will NEVER see anything like this again. Our entire culture and society has changed...
Really drilled the bread into ya.
At the same time, Rootie was also seen on Saturday mornings for Johnson Candy's Powerhouse and Bishop's Nut Fudge bars.
Actually, this is a 1953 episode, as ABC scheduled Rootie on weekday afternoons at 5:45pm(et)- mostly on the East Coast- under the sponsorship of Gordon Baking Company {Silvercup bread}. Dennis James' "CHANCE OF A LIFETIME", mentioned at 14:25, was seen on Thursdays at 8:30pm(et) from May 1952 through August 1953.
14:03 - I hope that's the same Cosmo "Gus" Allegretti who went on to be a puppeteer (Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock) and on-camera bit player (Dennis the Apprentice) on "Captain Kangaroo". 14:25 - "Chance of a Lifetime", the talent show that Dennis James hosted, was on ABC in 1952-53 and '55-56, while "Rootie Kazootie" was on ABC from 1952-54, so I highly doubt that "Rootie" was on ABC in 1957, according to the title.

Barry I. Graumann: Mr. TV Trivia, thank you for the answers to the 3 questions above. I sort of thought that, if this really were 57, this would have been more of a local, Channel 7 program (Silvercup was a largely New York brand). Obviously, by 53, the show had moved from NBC--where, in its first year, it filled up Radio City on a multi-hour Thanksgiving morning special--to ABC.
