Part 3 : this is turning out to be an epic. I' m still Deputy Susie , still going to the schools and working with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Office. Very grateful to the show. It helped establish a rapport w the kids so I could concentrate on the material I needed to teach them when I saw them in school . Thanks to all u kids ...remembering us .
I wrote too long... Here's the part 2 History of Popeye & Pals. Jerry & Jim revamped the now hour long prog with all kinds of bells & whistles. Jerry (is a genius ...at everything he does ). He allowed me to take a camera crew on locations and to write , produce and direct my own spots . Matt hosted the show in the final years. The demise was due to Ted Turner buying all cartoons for his own network . I loved the show . The opportunity it gave me to have the kids already know and relate to me
I do not know who this lady/ host is... There was the GREAT INCREDIBLE HENRY DUPREE. He was the first and was comfortable on camera and created a very professional program for kids. ( more than just eating chicken). He had relevance & educational concepts sandwiched into the material. Then John Pela, Don Westbrook...took it over for some time. this lady wasn't there too long. She was an interim host until Capt Jim Clark and Jerry Segretni ( forgive me Jerry...trying to spell your last name) rev
Now Popeye's Chicken is In Southern Ontario. I was home in Toronto during the last week of August. I went to a Popeye's Chicken on Queen street east and Sherbourne ave. Man this chicken is better that KFC hands down!
Dang ... I used to watch this EVERY Saturday morning and would say my name like I was in the audience. You have to be from N.O. or near N.O. and have access to WWWL to understand just how awesome this show was.
It's basically a 250 pound woman in a red shirt interviewing kids while they eat Fried Chicken for breakfast. And if they're lucky they can eat a Snoopy cake.
Was this actually a real show in New Orleans?? What the hell was the point of this show? To shill fried chicken, pizza, "donutz" cereal, icee and pepsi to unsuspecting children?
No wonder everyone in our nation is morbidly obese.
Of course this was back in the days when kids actually got exercise by playing outside. Back before mommy and daddy bought the Nintendo Babysitter. And before they started saying that PE in schools was "too difficult".
My brother is the little boy in the front row (I'm next to him). It's cool that this particular episode was posted - we got to show it to his little boy.
At 5:33, notice the lack of skyscrapers on the New Orleans skyline. Those would be built one by one in the 1980s in advance of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition (World's Fair).
Yeah, Capt. Jim and his "Double Pumpers" was cool too. I should know, I'm Tom Foote and I've got a couple of pieces posted here too. I was thrilled with the Super Bowl. Look for me on Facebook too. Until next time. -Tom Foote
Brings back memories of childhood, but once in a while during the intermission, the jackasses at WWL-TV would put on an Emergency Broadcast System test- scared the shit right out of me!!!
