Chuck McCann Show

When I was a kid there were a couple of shows on the old Dumont that I would never miss. And one of those was the Chuck McCann show. The program usually consisted of cartoons or Laurel and Hardy shorts. But in between Chuck would come out dressed as one of these crazy character's and do a little shtick. Most of the time he interacted with puppets. The man behind most of the puppets, Paul Ashley, was a integral part of the show. I would never miss his program and thinking back now ,people like Chuck, Soupy Sales, and Sand Becker undoubtedly made these times some of the happiest times of my childhood. And probably was a big part of who I am today. And I think that is a good thing.

It's good to get back to your roots from time to time.
