King locally hosted “Romper Room” from 1966 to 1976. The program aired worldwide with different hosts in each locale.
During the show, King played learning games with children and urged them to be “Do Bees” who behaved well, not “Don't Bees” who played in the street or failed to clean their plates.
Each episode ended with King holding up a mirror-like frame and looking through it to name child viewers.

LOL, the original White Privilege, having your name mentioned on Romper Room.

She was way ahead of Google in invading our privacy. :)
Lol!
A girl in my class was on a kids show and I was always amazed that she made it down to that studio every day to film the opening of the show! (And how she did the exact same thing each time!)
I remember that. I used to live closer to DC, but still got Baltimore channels 2 & 13, iirc.
Well, to be fair, how many kids are named ClearCase_guy?
I think the show’s name was “Diver Dan”. IIRC, the Barracuda had a monocle.
I think “Diver Dan” just died this year.
I was just a kid then, but was she the tv host who got pregnant and took thalidomide?
In all the years I watched the program, she never once said “I see Bridget.” It broke my young heart.
My mother would set up a TV tray and I’d have lunch with him most days both in Santa Ana and Chino.
RIP.
Rest in peace.
She was thinking about you though, I’m sure.
I don’t know her. I watched way before 1966.
Imagine a children’s tv show trying that now.
Sure! How about this prayer?
Allah il Allah, u Mohammed rassul Allah!
A bunch of the local RR hosts have died in the last few years. Here’s the one from Philadelphia, for instance: http://articles.philly.com/2013-05-06/news/39044131_1_romper-room-mrs-edgar-williams Shared an office with Dick Clark!
Yes, I remember watching Miss Sally. I used to wait for her to say my name, but she never did. :)
I did not know until I read this piece that it was not strictly a B’more show.
Diver Dan was a real person? I hope the Barracuda is in good health! Lol.
