A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born. That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network. And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard. But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door. And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran. The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993. I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share. The formula was pretty simple. A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains. The show opened as follows... Imagination Day! Oh boy! ...

subby: Thanks for the link, man.
CatLady: Some were saying Obama would use the kids to sell his health care package through them. There are those on the political right that are just plain dumb...and scarey.
Don: It's sad if the money earmarked for education isn't getting there.
I'm poking fun a little. It's big down here in the Bible Belt.
Dang! Here I was hoping to go back to school, but without that kind of help...I'm stuck.
And here I thought Obama had my back!
Oh well! heh heh heh
Quirks: Hey, sistahs are doing it for themselves!
ettarose: There's abviously a serious streak in what I chose to treat humourously. Thanks to you and Don for raising an issue I wasn't aware of. And re-directing funding away from education should not be tolerated.
