"Steampipe Alley" was one of the coolest kids programs around for its time. It aired on Sundays on Channel 9 in the NYC Metro, Northern New Jersey and Western Connecticut markets. I remember spending many Sundays watching the show and its fun games. While the production values had much to be desired, Mario Cantone's charisma and child-like enthusiasm as host/ringmaster made the show a lot of fun.
The show was highly irrelevant and fun - it featured kids from local elementary schools competing against one another for prizes and also featured some funny comedy skits. The best part was seeing some of the kids' teacher participating in the show. As a matter of fact, the most memorable segment was the one where kids actually got to throw pies at their teachers' heads! The show was light years ahead of Nickelodeon in the kids' gaming show genre. Granted, Steampipe Alley lacked the high production values and buckets of non-toxic green slime, but it will always be a part of my youth.
