  • grew up in Chicago in the 1950-60s Frazier Thomas was the best. he showed us that being a fine man was important and that is what we tried to be. God bless his soul....

  • Garfield Goose was the first TV show I remember in the Late 1950s, or very early 60s It was on in the early evening then around 5pm. Quality Local TV only in Chicago

  • Love you Mr. Thomas

  • I worked in the cafeteria of WGN in 1973. I was walking through a long hall on my first day of work when Frazier Thomas started heading my way. I didn't want to say anything to him, partly because I didn't want to seem like Lucy Ricardo and secondly because I was shocked to see him in person. He stopped me. Introduced himself, welcomed me to WGN and always said hi whenever I saw him.

  • I cried when he died . It took a while to get over it and I still wish a show like his was still on. There is something like it on cable.I don't have cable.

  • As a youth of tender years, he patted me on the head & suggested to "My Old Man" (with whom I was with), to spank me as needed. I thought of Fraz. every time thereafter...when I was butt-slapped.

  • @dc4u54 Aye, m8.. THIS Chicagoan, after all these years, still remembers those warm, happy times tuned to WGN TV-9 as a youth.

    ..and Mr. Thomas was one of The Greatest..

    Thanx fer the clip, m8..

  • Waaaay too short. Local independent TV stations back when created their own shows and hosts. Frasier wasn't as "cheerful" as Ned Locke, but especially with Gar, Rom and friends, he was fantastic! When memories are all that's left, we have to hold them carefully. Otherwise they become either distorted or lost. Thanx for creating this memory enhancer!

  • I remember writing to him as a child. I was struck by how polite his response was. I read it so often, that I actually memorized it.

  • Very nice tribute. He was a big part of Chicago in the 60's, Garfield Goose every day at 5pm and Family Classics on Sundays. He made you feel like you knew him. His personable character and kind spirit made you feel close to him. A big loss for Chicago. No one can replace him.
