Summary
Frank is joined by producer-comedian Rich Brown, actor Steven Weber, and writer-producer (and this week's co-host) Allan Neuwirth for a loving look back at local kids' programming of the 1960s and '70s, including "Wonderama," "Romper Room," "Let's Have Fun," "Birthday House" and "Winchell-Mahoney Time."

Also, Rich interviews White Fang, Allan kisses Bozo's nose, Frank remembers Beachcomber Bill and Steven accepts the "Name a Ventriloquist" challenge. PLUS: Otto & George!
