  • This is not from "Let's Have Fun!"

    ..This is from The WNEW TV Ch.5 NYC

    version of"The Chuck McCann Show". "Just For Fun"was a kids tv game

    show on Ch.5.."Let's Have Fun"was

    Chuck McCann and Paul Ashley's

    Comedy/Variety kidult tv show on Ch.11.

  • You're right about Fun. Channel 11 was Let's Have it, Channel 5 was Just For it, and the clip is from neither of these shows. Was "Let's Have Fun" truly a 'kidult' show? No. The definition for this portmanteau word is "a middle-aged person who continues to participate in and enjoy youth culture." Therefore, and I state this without penvy, the word as used is a nearlynym: McCann's show would more correctly be described as a program aimed at kids, kidults, and possibly even the wellderly.

  • Great to see Lets have fun again. Sandysoup, you da man, or are you a woman. Hmm this is the question now isn't it?

  • I'll check and get back to you on this.

  • This is part of my life, as it is to many others...in a MUCH better, happier time in our country. I wish, like so many like me that I could travel back in time to live this again. God Bless Chuck McCann, Soupy Sales, Sandy Becker, Officer Joe, Jack McCarthy....I loved your work, it was my childhood. ..and your work made my life happy for a short time every day, and in my memories...thank you!

  • My favorite show in the whole world when I was a little girl was "Let's Have Fun" Channel 11 on Sunday mornings in New Jersey. I loved Chuck Mc Cann. All those comic strip characters he played while the Daily News was on strike. We loved Little Orphan Annie and Dondi and Dick Tracy. He had the camera guys laughing out loud!!! I was obsessed with that show. It was tough to choose between Wonderama and Let's have Fun!! Wish we could go back to the 60's for TV!!!

  • Great stuff, Sandy. I thought I'd never see this stuff again. Chuck had me mesmerized as a kid.

  • SandySoup, you are rockin' to our tune baby! WNEW & WPIX in NY! My Mom, for those interested, dated Chuck McCann only once) during high school at Andrew Jackson HS in Jamaica, NY. He seemed bizaar but he was into theater from a young age. Great footage.

  • OH MY GOD. Where did this stuff come from? I never thought I would ever see it again. Chuck is the man!
