Channel 5 had Sandy Becker, Chuck McCann and of course the one and only
SOUPY SALES!!!!! Three iconic kid show TV legends. There was a children's show(young children around 5 or 6)in a school setting on channel 9. The "teacher" during the course of the show, would look through a "magic mirror" and she could see the children watching the TV show and would call out their names. I see Johnny and Mary and Billy and Sue, she would say. In all the years I watched, she never called out "FRANKIE". Arghhhh!

Chiller Theatre - that was the one with the creepy hand coming out of the ground, correct?! Classic!
Was that the show hosted by Zachary? I watched it every week. Classic indeed!

Yes, I also watched the yule log at my wife's grandmother's house.
