Uncle Bobby, another of the Saturday morning childrens' shows that entertained me as a child. I remember Uncle Bobby for his British accent, the puppet that he used to speak to, and like another person mentioned, the birthday song that had the main puppet kissing the other puppet who was his "girlfriend". She would appear only for the "Birthday Song". Happy Birthday to you, (kiss) Happy Birthday to you (kiss), Happy Birthday to all of you (kiss), Happy Birthday to you (kiss). That was something I haven't seen since 1977, yet still remember it... I once met Uncle Bobby and a country club my family belonged to in Toronto. I was picked as his assistant for his magic show. After the show he gave me some little gifts, and I still remember the inscription, "Love from Uncle Bobby." As a kid, I didn't get it, but as an adult I totally understand. This person did nothing but love children and tried to teach values and cooperation through entertainment. I remember that each show also included a Police Sgt. that would give tips for playing or biking or anything in a safe manner. What I would give to see something like that on today's Saturday morning line-up. It would be the gem in the crown of any responsible network offering childrens' programming. Anyway, Uncle Bobby the man and show will always remain dear to me, as I am sure it would to anyone who watched it.
