Kids born from 90 to 95 got to experience the real golden era of cartoons

@@PonchoLopez-bf5ri Sorry they did not, Saturday morning cartoons were the Golden era that had declined rapidly from late 80's and barely clinging on by the mid 90's. Still some good shows no doubt but by 95 it was already over. Sad too as Saturday mornings was for kids and really was such a great time.
Used to start out my day with Ray Raynor in the morning while getting ready for school, then run home at lunchtime to catch Bozo and then rush home again after school to catch the Cubs game or if the Cubs weren't on, then the Andy Starr Theater! Life in Chicago was pretty good if you were a kid in the 60's!

As a kid growing up in Illinois, Bozo's circus was part of my childhood. I remember Ned and, then, Frazier Thomas. Good memories.
If you were living in Chicago back in the sixties & WGN was the network to watch, you didn’t miss Bozo, Ray Rayner, cartoons, or anything else for that matter, I can remember coming home for lunch and watching Bozo at noon, Let’s Make A Deal at 12:30 then back to school at 1, so Bozo was a part of my life , in the early sixties my sister was on Bozos Circus courtesy of my late aunt, just don’t ask me what she won or anything else, that’s all I know!! But it’s nice to know that two people helped make many kids very happy on a children’s show during the week
Bob Bell's Bozo was the inspiration for Hank Azaria's Krusty the Clown voice on The Simpsons. Azaria has said as much himself a number of times over the years.

A product of its time and I really wish I could return to it. Social media has all but tarnished kids today. It’s truly sad
I still remember hearing this on the Radio ---- in 1997 --- I was older but it still hit me HARD to hear Bob Bell had passed away........

I remember hearing Bob Bell's voice early in the morning on WGN TV when the station came back on the air to start the day's programming.
our childhood was the Best because of shows like this..we weren't afraid of clowns..we are breakfast with them..May you Both Rest in Paradise..we love you
Those two guys were great and my childhood I came home from kindergarten and first grade and enjoyed their shows. Good memories good television.

All of the characters on Bozo's Circus are Chicago area treasures. Thank you for entertaining us kids growing up with a show we will cherish all of our lives. You were WONDERFUL!!!!
Just Seeing THIS AGAIN = WOW = OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TIME!!!💗💗💗🌟🌟🌟👏
One word: LEGENDS.
I miss simpler times like this
This show was so popular because they also made it funny for the parents. Lots of what they ad-libbed would never be allowed today, like Bozo telling Cookie to take a pair of scissors someplace and fall on them... or upon seeing Wizzo has a 'Purse... of Arobia!'... Bozo turns and in an aside to the camera, says 'Now I KNOW what I always SUSPECTED...'. Or Ringmaster Ned yelling 'Bozo, the elephants are loose!' and Bozo called back "Give 'em some Kaopectate!"
The chemistry between Bob Bell and Ned were such , that Bob would work at getting Ned to Skip his line and loose his place. The ultimate in Improvisation. I Also remember in the 60's it ran in the evening too.
Still AMAZING! My cub scout pack went and I was sick that day. Lol, watched my friends. The end of a golden age of TV.
I am a Canadian fan! I watched Bob Bell in the late 70's and 80's. Thanks for the memories ;)

When you were a kid in the 60's in Chicago area, if there was a snow day, it was 'Yay, we get to watch Bozo's Circus!' If you were home sick from school the first thing was 'I get watch Bozo!' It was the biggest part of a surprise weekday off of school.
My kindergarten class got tickets for the show - it was very early in its history, we went to see it at Bradley Place in May of 1962. I still remember it.
It makes me laugh to know some people have a legit clown phobia and imagine being alive during that time seeing clowns being so darn popular
thank you so much for the upload I thought I seen them all ! god bless!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE WGN FAMILY...THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Great Memories
I remember waking up early in the morning, in my PJs, quietly dragging down my big soft blanket down the stairs to sit in front of the TV, Farm Report with Orion Samuelson started the day on WGN, I would eat my bowl of cereal then go wash, brush my teeth, and get dressed for school, then Ray Raynor came on at what ever time that was, before that was over my buddy Johnny from across the street would yell out from the back porch "Yo Frank" and we walk to school. Lunch time we ran home to catch Bozo. Any kid that grew up in the Chicago area at that time was familiar with Bozo, Ray Raynor, Farm Report, Garfield Goose, Family Classics, and Creature Features. It was a wonderful time to be a kid.
Thank God I was around to experience it.
Rest in peace 🕊️ Ned Locke and Bob Bell 😔🙏
Growing up in Chicago's South suburbs, I used to watch Bozo every day with my little sister while sitting on the floor in front of our black-and-white TV. I was 5 years old in 1963 and there was one Bozo show I would never forget, it was a fall day, and my sister and I were sitting on the floor watching Bozo, my Mom was standing behind us doing her weekly ironing of clothes when the show suddenly went off the air with the words - "We interrupt this program to bring you an important news announcement", it was November 22nd and we found out that our president, John F Kennedy had just been shot in Dallas TX.
I just became a kid again thank you BOZO
Saw the bozo show in either 84 or 85. Bob bell had just left and the new bozo was just starting. I can remember it vividly despite only being like 3 or 4 at the time. I remember cookie not being there but whizzo took his place. Went with my aunt and her friend and daughter. The daughter got picked for one of the games and busted her ass after slipping in water. I remember they stopped the game. I still have the vhs tape. I also remember them showing a gi Joe cartoon which ended on a cliffhanger and it taking me like 3 or 4 years to see the second half lol. Ahhhhh, memories.
Everyone I knew was on the list, and none of us made it there.
One time, they had this set, and all of the puppets (under glass), Frazier Thomas's uniform jacket, and his FAMILY CLASSICS chair at the Chicago Cultural Center. When i saw that, I screamed like a little kid! Everybody turned around and laughed 😂😂😂😂!
Watched this show until I turned just about seven years old
Back then you ordered tickets when you got married so you'd have them when you had children. My neighbor got to play The Grand Prize Game....our parents let us stay home from school to watch it.

Bozo, Gar and Ray: WGN TV Classics Only
Ooh what memories this brings back ?
Bozo used to be on WPIX-TV (channel 11) in NYC back in the 1960's, but this was a staple in Chicago TV when WGN-TV has been running "Bozo" for years. In New York City when WPIX-TV (channel 11) ran "Bozo", there was "Officer Bolton", "Popeye", and others. WNEW-TV (channel 5) had "Wonderama", and WWOR-TV (channel 9) had "Steampipe Alley" with Mario Cantoine.
I remember watching the show here in Los Angeles in the mid 60's. The intro was a sped-up version of the William Tell Overture with everyone and everything moving in fast motion traffic to Bozo boarding a cable car. Would love to see that opening again....

Loved it!!!😂
When he was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1996, Larry Harmon who owned the rights to Bozo the Clown, refused to congratulate Bell and prohibited him from receiving the award in-costume. That is per Wikipedia, they don't give a reason why, but it seems Larry Harmon was not the easiest person to deal with.

@@christiangonzales7429 I can see him keeping the rights to the reruns or videos, but refusing to let Bell wear the costume for which he was inducted? I think maybe Harmon was a bit jealous that Bell made more of the character than he himself ever did. IMO

I remember sitting on the floor with my sister watching Bozo one day with my Mom behind us at the ironing board pressing clothes, when a special bulletin interrupted the show saying that the President had been shot in Dallas. My Mom started crying.

Bob Bell was THE BEST Bozo, IMHO. But I grew up on the North Side of the City of Chicago.🤡
I wish they would bring Bozo back. I wonder if any of his kids would play Bozo
we still love you bozo and friends
Que miedo!!
When I was 3 and 4. I was on the bozo show.
Bob Bell cussed out a kid in real life in Hammond, Indiana many years ago
they cancel all these show Because the Media liked have more Air Time....
Still have my ticket when I was on The Bozo show and a picture of me in the trunk of treasures on the stage 1971 the rest Bozo
Roy Brown was inducted into the Clown Hall of Fame before Bob Bell who had been Bozo before Roy became Cookie? I would've thought Bob would've been inducted before Roy. How did Roy manage to get inducted into the hall of fame before Bob did?

No female employees? Gay
A little known fact, Bob Bell was murdered, if fact he was dismembered, they found his arms in one room, his legs in another, and his balls in bucket number six.
BOZO FOR PRESIDENT! He can do a better job than the clown already in the White House (Trump) Just so this statement is dated.
