In the 1950s, I used to watch the kids' shows on WNTA. The best was Jimmy Nelson, the ventriloquist, with his dummies Danny O'Day, Humphrey Higsbey (sp?), the dog Farfel (famous for Nestle's commercials), the cat Ftatateeta, and puppets that included the supposed producer of the show "David Somekind," a parody of the station's own David Susskind. It was very sophisticated humor, with all kinds of veiled political and ethnic jokes -- though very mild, the kind of stuff that wouldn't offend anyone today. Clay Cole's record show was good, a poor man's version of Dick Clark's American Bandstand. The Magic Clown was a little young for me but my brother watched it. I remember the wonderful Bonomo's Turkish Taffy jingle. It also had the very erudite Rutgers professor, Richard Heffner's "The Open Mind" talk show, and David Susskind's more provocative talk show. Although it was a Newark station, I watched it in Brooklyn. (For some reason, in the 1950s, I could also get, very early in the morning, the Philadelphia stations WCAU/10 and WRCV/3 until dawn, when they faded out.)
