  • Jack Barry when he wasn't fixing quiz shows.

  • I reimember some of this. Were ever so young! I was five at this time, yet I still remember some parts of it.

  • I still remember this show! My older sisters had a Winky Dink set which was passed down to me when they outgrew using it. I wasn't quite seven years old when the show went off the air in 1957. I guess the set was trashed after that. We lived in a small apartment, so any old playthings not being used anymore were discarded.

  • I don't think they had Saran Wrap then. We had a Winky Dink kit but it really didn't work all that well as I recall. We also had a plastic screen you put over the black and white TV that added color, like blue at the top, green at the bottom or something. I don't think I just imagined that.

  • I have a friend, three years younger than I, who gets a kick out of telling how he drew crayon marks on the TV screen without the Magic Screen. He thought he was the only one who ever did that and got in trouble. I read him some of the comments off this site of people who did the same thing. I think that you could have used Saran Wrap and gotten the same effect.

  • ok so how many of my childhood friends remember this? I had the set too....

  • One of my favorites back then. Would mark the lines on a piece of notebook paper to figure out the clues. Finally got the couple of dollars and bought the plastic sheet at a local 5&10. Good ole days with clean innocent Saturday mornings.

  • @olddude521 hahahaha my dad told me about this show when I was younger and I never forgot it because it seemed so goofy, he said that they never got the magic screen and just mindlessly watched the guy anyways, although I think he said that he and his sisters tried to use saran wrap on the screen

  • WINKY dINK AND ME, wINKY dINK AND YOU ...MY FAVORITE!!!

  • I distinctly recall my Mother saying that Winky Dink should learn to "shift for himself".
