Hopefully not Ricky the Magic Pixie Visits Daisy Bumble!

Judging by the title cards and the listings on the forum, the time slot must have been from 5:45 to 6:00 PM on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Nice open shirt without bra...too bad that look never caught on.

I think the cue card holder was a topless dancer.

The opening music in the beginning when they were going from the commercial mode to the scrambled mode was Bob Jame's Touchdown.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS_k4E1vN_E

He's not looking at me. I feel disrespected as a customer. ;-)

I used to think that they were open late on Mondays and Thursdays, and open on Sundays in addition to their regular hours. Now I'm thinking they were only open three days a week.

The eye line of the man in this commercial bothers me. I had some TDK SA cassettes from this era, but with no cases. Does it sound like the jingle was on tape and wasn't up to speed when it started playing?

I wonder what other books were read on this show?

I miss the third floor book department of the former Marshall Fields. It was good even when it was moved to the basement but the Barbara's Books that's down there now is a mere shadow of what used to be there. The Fields book department had the same dorky-looking guys working there for years. I wonder what ever happened to all of them.

Jolly Roger Bradfield was a cool guy. He designed cereal boxes for General Mills and created the Keebler Elves. He illustrated many of the early Sesame Street books and also wrote a sequel to the Pickle Chiffon Pie book many years later.

I remember watching The Storyteller as a little tyke as early as the early 1960s. Does anyone know of the history of this show? What year was it first broadcast, air-schedule, etc? Was Val Bettin the only actor to play the role?
