Each of the above had their own kids' show--WHO had "The Floppy Show" with Duane Ellett, WMT had "The Dr. Max Show", and WOI had "The Magic Window" with Betty Lou Varnum. (We could also receive KCCI--ch. 8 from Des Moines--which had their own kids' show, "Dolph's Cartoon Corner" with Dolph Pulliam, but I didn't care for that show.) Below are some links & videos for you all to enjoy! I haven't been able to find any vids of "The Magic Window" yet, but there are some "Tales Of The Riverbank" posted below. <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IptzEtvKWHI&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IptzEtvKWHI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6fBLxUorFWw&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6fBLxUorFWw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QzdjjlwLv3s&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QzdjjlwLv3s&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wpD35oDpyFQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wpD35oDpyFQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B-CtMWsMGGo&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B-CtMWsMGGo&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CETtTLQYBfA&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CETtTLQYBfA&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> <object width="215" height="175"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uWVlBEVL030&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uWVlBEVL030&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="215" height="175"></embed></object> Here are some links to sites & pgs re: "The Floppy Show" & the other shows, with pix & mp3s: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Floppy_Show" target=_blank>Wikipedia pg for "The Floppy Show"</a> <a href="http://www.karen.hart.net/floppy.html" target=_blank>The First Floppy Show Page</a> <a href="http://www.desmoinesbroadcasting.com/who-tv/floppy/floppy-main.html" target=_blank>DesMoinesBroadcasting.com</a> <a href="http://www.iowafalls.org/floppy.htm" target=_blank>IowaFalls.org</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Window" target=_blank>Wikipedia pg for "The Magic Window"</a> <a href="http://faculty.wartburg.edu/stein/mw/media/chapter4.pdf" target=_blank>For The Children</a> <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=hHZ3wYy7e9gC&pg=PA119&lpg=PA119&dq=dolph+pulliam+cartoon+corner&source=web&ots=Hf7DJZDprF&sig=t4osNCrzAJ6glBUIuglLuhxEEdw&hl=en#PPA118,M1" target=_blank>Hi There, Boys and Girls!: America's Local Children's TV Shows</a>ken glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462084358574930995noreply@blogger.com
