List of local children's television series (United States)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of local children's television shows.
Local children's television series were locally produced television shows intended for the child audience with unique hosts and programming. This type of programming began in the late 1940's and continued into the 1970s. Tim Hollis documented about 1,400 local children's shows in a 2002 book called Hi There, Boys and Girls![1][2]
The programs typically aired in the weekday mornings before school, or afternoons after school, as well as on weekends (to a lesser degree). There were several different formats. Almost all shows had a colorful host, who assumed a persona such as a cowboy/cowgirl, captain, princess, clown, sheriff, magician, or "uncle", whose role was to not only to be the "DJ" for syndicated material (typically cartoons, although westerns were more popular earlier on), but also entertain the kids, often with a live studio audience of kids, during breaks. Early program fare included cartoon favorites such as Crusader Rabbit, Dink, the Little Dinosaur, Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Rocky and Bullwinkle,Mighty Mouse, and Porky Pig, as well as movie shorts such as Our Gang/The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges. Some included educational segments like the portraits of wildlife in Nature's Window. The popular hosts usually became local "celebrities" in the eyes of children and their parents, and were known to make public appearances at amusement parks and benefit fund raisers. Befitting the small staffs many stations had in the early days of television, some hosts did double-duty as announcer or handled administrative functions, like Program Director. Some even hosted adult fare such the daily movie with such titles as Million Dollar Movie or were weatherman on the newscast. Although most of the shows were unique to a given market, there were a few franchised shows, most notably, Romper Room and Bozo the Clown, which became extremely popular nationwide.
The eventual decline of the local children's television series market was attributable to a variety of causes, including parental concern over the effect of violence depicted in shows on their children and sponsor "brainwashing" of children via commercials. Also lucrative syndicated programming such as The Mike Douglas Show, Merv Griffin Show and Donahue plus re-runs of old network series began to fill available airtime. By the late 1970s, local children's programming had all but disappeared from the airwaves, although a few continued well into the 1990s. And for many they are a fond memory to this day, an indeliable part of their childhood.
