I remember seeing a St. Louis 'kid's TV' hosted by "Corky the Clown". Our Cub Scout troop was the 'special guests' one Saturday afternoon. I spent most of the show gawking at all the TV studio equipment.
( I was also still in a state of shock after witnessing an armed robbery at a store on our way into the studio in downtown, which ended by the shopkeeper shooting the robber very dead with a shotgun. I watched the whole thing from the window of the station wagon as we drove by. I don't think the Den Mother driving even noticed.)
