[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] J[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ohnny Jellybean was a favorite of mine as a '50's preschooler in the Bronx. My mom served lunch to me when Johnny had his, and my sandwich had a bite taken out of it, just like Johnny's! [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I got to sit in the bleachers during one of the shows, and a friend of my mom's brought her two little blond-haired boys. They sat in the front row, and when Johnny's "assistant" (a very pretty young woman) led a cute little white pig with a red bow out to Johnny, the two boys ran onto the set to pet the pig! I often wondered if that made it on the air. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]After the show, we saw the host, still dressed in his Johnny Jellybean attire, getting a sandwich out of a vending machine. The ladies said hello, and he was very gracious, hoping we had enjoyed ourselves and would come back again. I thought that was great, a big TV star (in my 5-year-old eyes) taking the time to chat with us. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]-Daniel Moran [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I think Johnny Jellybean starred Ted Ziegler with Peter Cullen (both supporting cast members of the Sonny and Cher Show) as Razzle Dazzle Bathroom. Am a little hazy on details, but it might have been on around 1965 or '6. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] - Pete Jock [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I seem to recall that The Johnny Jellybean Show was on Channel 7, ABC. I was born in New York in 1954, and my aunt took me too the show. This was 1959 or 1960. Mom was at home watching, so it must have been live. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I remember Johnny having a live cow in the studio, another show was about the polio vaccine. Johnny rolled up his sleeve and let a nice nurse give him his shot. Probably helped a lot of kids with their fear of needles. Johnny had a beanie hat with an egg on the top. Sometimes he found secret messages here. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] - John Hedland [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Johnny Jellybean (CFCF-TV Montreal) had a squawk box hanging from the ceiling and gave us a choice as to which sledgehammer to use to destroy the squawkbox He would pick up the small one, the the midsize one and then make us all unanimously agree that the masher would do the job. But this didn't happen everyday. (Although we were all hoping it would). [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] - Patrick Meindersma [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"I was a huge Jellybean fan in the late 50's. Watched out of NYC. My mother bought me a small stuffed mouse for me to keep in my chest of drawers just like Johnny's "Chester Drawers". If I was unable to watch Johnny I would sit my Patty Playpal doll in front of the set to watch for me. Still have slides of Patty and I watching Johnny and singing along with the opening song ( one hand under chin and one on top of head). So pleased to learn that he is not forgotten." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] - Jean Valentine [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Amazing, who would have thought that anyone remembered Ted Ziegler. Who could forget Enzio Pesta, Aqua Duck, Morrie the Mailboy ("I'm a hunnert and forty-two") and the shower of mail, Burd in his cage, the Squawk box with Masher,Basher and Smasher, or Johnny as "The Ole Wrangler" - [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"You never know what lonesome is 'til you get to herdin' cows". The pranks of the crew were legendary. Each day, Johnny would drink a large class of milk, to the most horrible gulping sound effects. Well, one New Year's day show, it was rather apparent that our hero was a bit "tired" from the night before. The glass that day was the largest glass of milk anyone had ever seen. He did manage it, though.. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Johnny made countless school appearances in the Montreal area and was loved by all. He took great delight in meeting and talking with the kids, especially those who didn't seem to fit in well... He always managed to find something to cheer them up and make them feel better. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My wife met Johnny once at her school.. According to her, Ted Zeigler was an accredited child psychologist wha did work for the Montreal Protestant school board. They found that as Johnny Jellybean, he could get kids who were having problems or were in abusive situations to talk much more easily. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So here's to Johnny! He'd be glad to know that there are those of us who still remember.. IMHO, he was even better than Magic Tom! [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Lunchtime Little Theatre, ran from noon to 1 p.m. weekdays from 1962 to 1967. It was 60 minutes of live TV on which Zeigler, as the candy-stripe-suited Johnny Jellybean, mugged, performed comic pratfalls, did funny voices, ran cartoons and flashed reaction shots at a collection of off-camera characters: Morrie the Mailman, Toomie the Duck, Duck Tracy, Enzio Pesta and Marmaduke. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Lunchtime Little Theatre reached an average of almost 190,000 TV households every day - an impressive number in the 1960s and absolutely unheard-of for a midday TV show today. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In addition to Lunchtime Little Theatre, Zeigler's Montreal credits included Funny You Should Say That for CBC Radio, Comedy Crackers and Comedy Cafe for CBMT-6 and Squeeze, a satirical revue that ran a record-breaking 15 months at Martin's downtown dinner theatre.

A definite blast from the past!!! That is for sure. The only thing I remember about that show is the first day I was scheduled to be on, my nanny had to take me and I had to dress myself (for the first time) I ended up wearing a large shirt that I thought was a dress! No pants!!! I spent the whole morning pulling that dress/shirt down to hide my 'suzy' LOL LOL LOL....My mom took me to every show after that and she dressed me!
I was on Professor Kool also. You guys remember that show?

And, yes CJ! That is the show my mom was on! All the balloons came down when she won, lol!
