From the innerwebz:Is he related to Fran and Ollie?
I saw it only as re-runs. I wasn't born 'til '60 so it was over by then.From the innerwebz:
Just six months after its debut, station directors estimated that more than 60 percent of Chicago’s 20,000 television sets were tuned to Kukla, Fran and Ollie each day, and the audience was evenly split between children and adults. In 1949, NBC picked the show up for nightly carriage in a prime-time slot. Nielsen reported that by 1952, the show reached 1.5 million homes each night, for a total of 4 million viewers.There you go -- more popular than pool.
For those of you too timid to click on UTubes, Kukla was the dragon. He had hair, evidently made of asbestos. Asbestos was good in the 40s and 50s and 60s. It seems to have fallen out of style. So, no more dragons with hair.
I think the material is pretty basic. Kukla talks about quite a few concepts. I think each of them could be explained in more depth. I teach some of the concepts.What do you think of the book Bob?
