Eddie is my 2nd cousin. My maternal 2nd cousin Lillian's husband. I call them Uncle Eddie and Aunt Lillian. Two great people! Debra

When we used to go to Cleveland to visit my aunt and uncle over the weekend, we naturally had to watch this show on Sunday afternoon, or was it Sunday morning?

I know that it was sort of right after going to church and then coming home to have a BIG breakfast, my uncle would turn this on and we'd all watch this. One of those childhood memories... Thanks!

Super !

if this recorded in 1966 (which looks about right) would that be a young Joey Miskulin in the back playing with Frankie ?

This clip was actually from 1966, I think. (I think I remember the year being mentioned on another WEWS show.) Hopefully, this will lead to finding shows like the Cleveland version of "It's Academic" with Don Cameron on kinescope from around this time.

Did you find the clip online or obtain tape from the Polka Hall of Fame museum?
