I remember that show - wasn't it called What In The World though? Whatever the object was would fly towards the viewer from a far-off perspective and then get bigger and bigger until you could recognise it (or fail to). That's such an old memory for me that it's almost pre-verbal, but I can still see it in my mind.

Also loved The Colgate Comedy Hour with Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, back in the days of live transmission when Jerry would sometimes come out and talk to the audience wearing a posh bathrobe cuz he hadn't time for a costiume change, which always tickled me when I was little (well, there's no accounting for what makes very young kids laugh). And my fave of faves, The Lucky Strike Hit Parade. I recently listened to an old recording of Dorothy Collins again, after a gap of decades, and was impressed by just how good she was. Think I harbored a secret crush on Snooky Lanson. And that trippy opening-titles sequence...

And Ding Dong School - anybody remember Miss Frances?
