For those of you in Southern California, we had Engineer Bill on Channel 9 and Sheriff John on Channel 11. Hobo Kelly did nothing for me though. I was a bit too old when she showed up. LOL
I won a Frisbee from Engineer Bill at the Grand Opening of a Shopping Bag Grocery Store. Life was good.
Engineer Bill went on to be Stock Broker in the Valley. Not sure what happened to Sheriff John.
>>As a child I liked Beany and Cecil.

Wow — Beanie and Cecil was Bob Clampett (and, if you get a chance go back and watch again — the wit and social commentary is rapier-like! Even moreso than Jay Ward (believe it or not).
Sheriff John (Rovick) is still alive, and will turn 91 next October. His positive influence on millions of Boomers continue to be his legacy.
I remember meeting Engineer Bill (Stulla) when I was in the single digits. Always with a smile and a laugh. Sadly, he passed in 2008 at the age of — get this — 97! I suspect that living a good and honest life extends it greatly (I am doomed to early demise by that measure!)
That was Cecil, the Sea Sick Sea Serpent.
And I didn’t win anything from Engineer Bill, boo hooo. Ah, well, now get your glass of milk ready for green light/ red light. Yep, we had just immigrated to the states from Canada, I must have been around six.

Howdy Doody and his massa did a thing at the Alex Theater in Glendale, and my name was drawn to come up to the stage and receive a beachball.......I was terrified, but Mom got me to do it in the end.
