[TimTebowSucksBigDix]

Stu Kerr used to go to The Baltimore block and give blowjobs to gay guys who would jerk off watching porn movies.He also used to give oral sex to John kennelly,Ron Riley,Johnny Dark and Randy Blair.

Just found out Stu Kerr discovered Kevin Clash the creator of Elmo, amazing he is still an influence for kids years after his death. Thank Stu

[BruceD1776]

Aw yeah, I remember Pete the Pirate. Saw him at an appearance at Reisterstown Road Plaza some time in the late '50s or early '60s. He had an authentic flintlock pistol which he fired into the air (loaded with powder but no ball, of course).

[bigotrysux]

remember the end of "Caboose" when stu kerr always did that cocktails for two song?

[deepgroovesounds]

What great memories. I was born in '48 so I spent many an hour mesmerized infront of our old Bendix TV set watching these talented individuals bring their characters to life. I also remember "Sunny" Stu Kerr doing commercials for Sunny's Surplus, and I believe he also hosted Dialing For Dollars. Does anyone remember watching Paul's Puppets featuring JoJo The Clown? Thanks for posting these great clips.

[sjromoser]

I feel like a kid again! Maybe Ashley Simpson took lessons from Stripey the puppet. If your recorded song fails on live TV and you can't sing, dance. Too funny!

[verbaud]

I love these guys. I remember "Patches" as well. He used to sing folk songs. So many memories! Stu Kerr was also a master gardener.

I was born in '71 so I don't know these guys but I do have a vague memory of the Cool Professor guy. But I was a fan of the show Evening Magazine hosted by Donna Hamilton. What I remember most was Captain Chesapeake and Mondy the sea monster.

[fairfax17]

christ, are those days really.. 'over'?  :(

[chesterzelda]

I've been trying to remember a show that Stu Kerr hosted - probably early 80's - may have been Little Red Caboose ... not sure. I think it was on at noon on Sat or Sun. Anybody remember or have info?

[novice841]

@chesterzelda Very close; the show's title was simply, "Caboose." WMAR aired the program on Saturdays at 1 p.m. during the late 1970s.

[chesterzelda]

@novice841 Thank you. I was just a youngin'. Havent seen any clips the net yet, though.

[ralahinn1]

I miss old baltimore tv

[nattyboh84]

Today is the 16th anniversary of Stu Kerr's death. RIP Stu Kerr WMAR Channel 2 misses you!

[Siberfang]

Anyone remember Heads up?

[logcabinheaven]

This brings back good childhood memories. Does ANYone remember a show that aired in Baltimore around mid 70's called something like "The Bloomin or Blooming Place" ??

[topp100golf]

My dad was a radio/TV personality in Baltimore at that time-his name was Danny Sheelds--He was a "visiting pirate" for a week once on the Pete the Pirate show. He was an expert on the "Baltimorese" accent and did a WJZ special on TV with Royal. He was a friend of Royal and I met him many times myself. Dad was also a very good friend of Buddy Deane and Buddy came to his funeral. I would love to see more early Baltimore videos or be contacted by those who remember.

Best regards,

Bob S.

I remember your dad..."two E's if you pleeze."

[WeaselSqueezingFagot]

@topp100golf I saw Danny Sheelds give Jerry Turner and Wiley Danials both a blowjob back in 1972.

[143AC]

Some wonderful looks at the popular local kids tv shows from The Baltimore,Md.viewing area? But? What about"Mr.Toby's Tip Top Merry Go Round" and

"Pop Pop The Clown" and "The Three Stooges" and"Pop Pop The Clown & Popeye"?

[HollyK]

I remember all these shows, but the one commerical in Baltimore at that time was ..."Hey you kids, get off the furniture, are you trying to ruin it???" LOL..good old Royal Parker, I miss you, my old friend!

[johncduff]

I know who John Ziemann is! He was Miss Spiderweb? Are you serious? I did not know that. He was with the Colts band before, and I know he is the president of the Marching Ravens. I love when the band strikes up the Ravens fight song as they march into the stadium, it means its time to douse the charcoal, grab one last beer, shut the tailgate, and head for the seats.

[johncduff]

OMG! Professor KOOL! and his FUN SCHOOL! Anyone remember Miss Spiderweb? If you do, "go pick out a prize." I used to watch Professor Kool as a kid in Woodlawn. Loved it!

Any other old timers from Baltimore remember Bob McAllister?

[swtbsl1]

I happen to be a friend of Miss Spiderweb (John Ziemann). He is now the president of the Ravens Marching Band and deputy director of Sports Legends Museum. The Baltimore Museum of Industry has Prof. Kool's costume on display

[bigdaddykewl1]

yes i remember bob, i think he did wonderama?

[frodo123utube]

I lived in Glen Burnie from 1955 - 1961, ages 9 - 15. I remember Stu Kerr with great fondness, especially as the Early Riser and his janitor persona. Those days were so innocent; it must have been another planet. How could we have become so jaded in a mere 50 years.

As I entered adolescence, my tastes shifted to Buddy Deane. When "Hair Spray" came out, it was like jumping into Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine. Baltimore was such a great place to live back then. Don't get me started on the Colts.

[katwoman9999]

Oh, man, I'm wallowing in nostalga tonight! This is great!

[violentgum]

Prof. Kool stayed with me for decades - I thought I had dreamt it. Great video - thanks!!!!

[guitarrick57]

Thank you for posting this video. These guys were a big part of my childhood...back when it was ok to be a kid... I remember visiting WMAR TV Station back when it was CBS and shaking the hand Stu Kerr RIP..

[cyberkey11]

Trying to identify the dancers in the "chorus line" .... Jack Wells, Claire Beech (sp), Patches and Buddy Deane? A couple names missing, but that happens when things fade from nostalgia to history .... The people behind the cameras were prolly more interesting and talented anyway.

[143AC]

Mr.Parker was reasonsibile for

host to the air"Pop Pop The Clown"(Ed Bakey)

[tdpdx]

It's Jeff Pylant, the Evening Magazine co-host at the time and who couldn't read out loud very well.

[CrabCityKidsTV]
