Pandora talks to the baby character "Geronimo"
"Moople" the Frog and Pandora try to guess the jokes that two of the kids have for them, with prize assistance by "Uncle Bruce" (Bruce Schuster). Features Patrice Morbial (sp?) and Richard Rogers. (wouldn't it be neat if someone could track them down now, or if any of the kids dancing on this episode were found?)
Starring Elaine Mulqueen as Pandora. Mike May as the voice of Spike the Duck. Directed by Drew Leach.
Note: this is presented as originally broadcast, in Black & White.
What a simpler time, eh? :-)
This aired live on local Chicago TV on Friday, April 25th 1969 during the 4:30pm to 5:30pm timeframe.

I was on the show in late 60's. We wrote in for tickets and pretty much on the show often!
Sadly Elain Mulqueen (Pandora) passed away on May 30, 2012. I read up about the two of them Jack and Elain, and I guess they did other stuff too, and were active for many years in advertisments and voice overs in the chicago land area, they were from bartlett by ohare funny I used to have family that lived there before they moved a bit more north of chicago in the burbs.
This is somewhat grotesque, although in an unobjectionable manner. Little kids today would likely take it as an insult to their intelligence, but then, in the late sixties, little kids were free to BE little kids. 'New age parenting' wrongly imbuing children with the incorrect notion that they were adults' peers was nearly thirty years down the road. And MAN, did that ever backfire.
I was on Kiddie-A-Go-Go in 1965/1966. Of course, everything was segregated so the black kids had their own day. I know it was recorded because the next year a school mate saw me on it the following year (rerun). What I wouldn't give for a copy.
I watched "Soul Train" at the same time period when I was watching "Kiddie A Go Go", but then again was so little that wasn't aware of segregation or racism at all. Nobody talked to me about it. I don't remember any difference about "Black children's day", on "Kiddie A Go". Children don't see color in the USA, especially if growing up anywhere like Chicago area. I was older there when became somewhat aware that, mainly because of being driven past the blown up Black Panther Party headquarters, and just because one boy was problematic during removal of segregation at my school at the time. He was very young too, but I guess he liked to be a part of inciting fights after school. I got caught up in one because of my little brother, (definitely a street fighter himself like his California biological father), and a punch towards me and pushing me down to the ground happened, when trying to pull my little brother out of the fight, and it happened to be the only black boy in the school, because he didn't want the fighting to stop. He gave me a little bit of a black eye, cuts and scrapes, and limping around for a few days. I couldn't go home without my little brother. I don't know what happened to him afterwards, but my mom sent her best friend to the school with me for her to report it. Her best friend from Serbian family from Indiana. Novak. She definitely is a lot like my Mom, extraordinary outgoing personality, and also a highly qualified nurse warrior. Tall Amazon that worked as a model in Phoenix Arizona to put herself through college and nursing school. Retired in Sacramento California, but her mother's Evangelical brainwashing grooming her, all of the politics involved, has her thinking very against herself, and I can't do anything about it all, even if I tried to convince her to move near me, but her only child son, very successful, and grand daughter is there too. Cult taken, just like my left wing family members in California. Probably now supporting the Ukraine leadership the same way about it all, being right wing family in the US. All used to be.
Wish we could see all those shows that aired!
She sounds like Stewart's mom
Not what I was searching for. 😥
What did you expect? Seriously?
turns out the aunt that I had that from bartlett did not know of the mulqueens after all, never even knew of the tv channel they used to run in the board of trade, she did say that her son worked at the stock exchange that I already knew of course.
I think this is funny as heck though all the old on linner humor like vaudevill now that I have sound on my computer again and did not get to hear all that was said the first time I posted here about Pandora.
I think that very much reflects how adults were back then and there. Very no nonsense, but sweet spoken to like that, I even remember the same local accent, because of my mother's friends, and definitely not politically correct like today. That didn't exist. Talks just my mom's best friend at the time. Almost exactly the same way, but my mom's friend has a naturally louder and stronger tone. Can hear her, "Oh come on!" Defiant to anything thought that improper nonsense.
Wow, you never saw this on Mr. Rodgers
Why so serious?
lol 252 geronimo draws up a lugie lol, and she stops him mid draw.
Puppets can spit a hocker at you?
Sesame Street came too late for some of us.
Why so serious?

Ok, yes Gerenomo is suppose to be Native American..... Dose Pandora give spike the duck a spanking?
if you finish this episode no, they play a game after this I think, as it were she passed away a year or two ago.
Is gerenomo supposed to be a Native?
This woman wrote a book about Chicago kids' TV in the 60's. While it was interesting, to read her version of things, you would think that this "Kiddy a Go Go" was one of the most major kids' shows of the decade there. It definitely was not. (Any TV show in a big city being shown in B/W in the late 60's was small potatoes for sure.)
WCIU was very low budget in those days, as many UHF stations were. They didn’t install a color transmitter until 1974.
This is outrageous. This is supposed to be a role model for parents?
Why so serious? The Mulqueens couldn't be real life parents.
@@jeanoboyle2439 In a manner of speaking, yes---this was a delightful and charming way for Jack and Elain to be "role-models".
As Paul Christman stated above, this was the '60s, and little kids were allowed to BE little kids, as were we all back in those days.
And, as Christman also stated, that "New Age parenting" DID backfire.
Ah, to be young again in the '60s.
Really hard to watch, too much ad-lib
That off-camera voice is very annoying. The hand puppet is annoying.
