Miss Judy spent a short visit in rehab sometime in the early 70's (mom said it was cocaine addiction). While she was "away" her stand up was a magician...Uncle Ted? Anyhow...crank calling "Dialing for Dollars" was a lot of fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501183.post-17456218830553970792008-06-28T14:56:00.000-07:002008-06-28T14:56:00.000-07:00I wonder how many of you actually knew that I worked on Hatchy Miliatchy from 1983-86 doing many of the puppets with Miss Judy. It's one of my best kept secrets in life.

When Rob was 6 years old, he heard Miss Judy call HIS NAME on his birthday. I was completely awestruck by that revelation.<BR/><BR/>I always wondered if the calling of one's name on a birthday celebration by Miss Judy pre-ordained one to a charmed life, no doubt the outcome experienced by our good friend, Rob.<BR/><BR/>OK, I'm just having fun. If you ever had Miss Judy call out your birthday on the show, my hat is off to you. Long live Miss Judy and WNEP-TV! <BR/><BR/>We've all had charmed lives. Miss Judy, Rocky Glen, Hanson's Park, San Souci, Angela Park,.... I don't know how the kids who grew up without these things ever managed to survive!Lee Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09025331384135381785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501183.post-36639695052320296752008-05-05T19:30:00.000-07:002008-05-05T19:30:00.000-07:00one day a few months ago my wife and kids came back from the library with the assorted cd's and books. they put on one of the cd's, and what do i hear filling my house with joyful song-- the "hatchy milatchy" theme. it was right there on the greatest hits of rosemary clooney. I attempted to explain the significance of this melody to my life, but it was lost on the three outsiders before me, my wife, 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter. none of them ever had the pleasure of seeing the best show ever on tv. fritz araya seattle, wafritz arayanoreply@blogger.com
