OMG! I watched Cap'n Tugg and Countdown Carnival religiously as a kid. I can't believe that any footage has survived.

Your guess was close. The opening color graphics (created by Lee Reynolds himself) were done on a Commodore 64. Neither those graphics nor the theme music were part of the original 1963 production.

An excellent look at some of the best kid show hosts in DC, great memories for those who grew up watching these guys as I did!

I only wish we had this sort of thing in my time (having grown up when it was nearly gone).
