I'm thrilled to see that Froggy the G. has his own website now.
CLUTCH CARGO, the various Capt. Whackencrackers (Lenny Bruce's take on the local kiddy-show hosts), et al...
I have a feeling that all kids' programming, in one way or another, is designed to meet the simple goal voiced unintentionally on-camera by one host many years ago, "That oughta hold the little b****ds."
