watched that special and was cracking up listening to Wizzo and Cookie talkiing about inhaling the magic gas! And the 2 of them are cracking up! Missed that one as a yute! went as a kid, the whole thing was weird. It was like 3 sets of bleacher seats, small, the guy telling you to scream when they came back from commercial and was kind of boring is what I remember. Nope, didnt win shit. |

The next step from attending Bozo was a week (or 2?) on Romper Room. Neighbors down the street. (twins) made the cut. |

I won a Little Mermaid handheld and a box of Matt's chocolate chip cookies. I was in a balance-a-book-on-your-head relay race and I cheated. My team still won. |

Yeah, the whole set had a real shabby look to it. What a fucking disappointment. I lost my innocence on the day we attended. I was five years old and from then on I knew the entire world was cloaked in artifice. |

It was disappointing to see the actual stage (I went in October 1994, ran in February 1995), but I wasn't completely disappointed with the world until about ten or eleven, and that took more than seeing the studios at channel 9. |

The quality of the Bozo show dropped each time the size of the "Big Top Band" shrunk. In the end it was a guy on a synthesizer. Although I suppose the jump the shark moment was when Ringmaster Ned was replaced by Frazier Thomas. I never warmed to him...even on Garfield Goose. |

My disillusionment has pretty much continued unabated since that fateful day at 2501 W. Bradley Place. |

Frazier Thomas is legendary for his hatred of children. Great idea to become a puppeteer when you hate kids. It kind of reminds me of some accountants I know who hate numbers. |

Nope, didnt win shit. but they gave you something just for attending thanks to sponsorships. I think it was a pack of cookies or something. The studio set was disappointing. There is a thin façade between magic and mundanity. |

Matt's are so good...but only the chocolate chip. never really cared for the peanut butter ones or their fig newtons is Archway still in business ? I haven't seen those in years. the only ones i like were the soft cookies with the apricot center |

I think you can still get Wildwood Grape at Jim's Original. |
