I still enjoy a Tootsie Pop now and then. In high school(Enfield High, CT - class of 1978), we had a teacher named Mr. Blair who, as a gag, would reward you for a good presentation in class with a Tootsie Pop . . . and if you did a VERY good job, you didn't get to reach in the bag and get it yourself, he would hand you a CARAMEL Tootsie Pop. He was actually one of the more popular teachers in school. Wherever you, Chester Blair - thank you!

Dear Rowby,

I didn't even know that Pinky's father Mr.Leff was still alive then and living near his

famous son and his family?

Pinky's later shws, taped at the NBC Burbank studios were shot in color. Pinky Lee's father lived in the house behind ours -- and he arranged for tickets to the NBC Burbank taping. Doing his show in color was a big deal then.  So I was in the audience at some point during the NBC color run.

I loved the Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Roll pops the way they made them back then, they had REAL CHOCOLATE in them, now it just some waxy fake chocolate! Nothings the same! "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!"

Dear Ronald Vaughn, No! PInky's NBC TV kids show was broadcast first

from The El Capitain(Later known as The Hollywood

Palace)Tv Theater in Hollywood,Cal. and later from

the KNBC TV Ch.4 studios in "Beautiful Downtown

Burbank",Cal.

Was this show originated from Chicago,Illinois? That's the home of Tootsie

Rolls,LOL!!

I love Cherry Tootsie Rolls! Cherry AND

chocolate together (= Black Forest)

I wondered why I was so addicted to Tootsie Rolls & Tootsie Pops after all these years. It's Pinky's fault. My Mother says I got my lisp from watching him. I still remember seeing him on tv and live at Kennywood Park. She says he actually came up to me but I got scared and began crying.

And they say that this is bad for kids?

The parents who say this..are mean and nuts!

I love this magic trick that Pinky Is doing!

and I enjoy watching the gametime segment with

the mothers and the kids.

This is the second half of a 1955 Saturday morning edition of "THE PINKY LEE SHOW" {he saved the more elaborate circus acts and audience games for the weekend}- note the small white square in the upper right corner of the screen at :02- that was a signal to NBC affiliates that a commercial was coming up {here, for Tootsie Roll Pops}...they used that signal through the mid-'70s.

[143AC]

In his next to last interviews with Mr.Gary

Collins on"Hour Magazine"? Pinkie mentioned that he used many different

ways to appear on his show..one was driving onto

the circus set in a little car.

Thank God This footage was finally found.
