This is the open and close from a 1972 episode of the WCVB-TV children's program "Jabberwocky." The series was produced and syndicated by the Boston station for many years. This particular video was recorded only a few months after the new Channel 5 signed on the air.

I am desperate to find a clipping from the Brothers and Sisters episode of jabberwocky. My brother and sister were both on when they were little.  It would be insane to have a copy of that! Any suggestions??????

Contact Liz Cheng in the WCVB-TV Programming Department. There is a chance the station retained the episode in question. Receiving a copy would be another matter, however. Be prepared to pay for the service.

This and Captain Bob Cottle's Drawing shows, not to mention, Candelpin Bowling with Don Gillis were definitely part of my TV diet while a youngster growing up in the Boston area. Thanks!

I grew up in Brockton MA, and was 12 when this show aired. If anyone has clips of old Major Mudd shows from the '60s, please post them. There are a lot of his old fans here on YouTube that would love to see them.

Does anyone have any episodes of Captain Bob?

[cmulwee001]

Anybody have the later episodes starring JoBeth Williams?

this was my first job in television being a PA on the show. I used to handle the props and costumes. When the shows producer left, I was asked to produce the show for syndication. I loved the whole experience. and I am still in the tv business to this day.

You guys did a great job on that show. I remember WCVB was very much into quality programming. I'm not surprised so many of this show's actors went on to greatr success. I loved Trina as a kid.
