"the bridge is out Winky dink needs your help kids, draw in the bridge now." I always wondered how many kids drew directly on the tv screen. I also remember having to watch Ray Rayner, Bozo the clown, and BJ and the Dirty Dragon show every weekday. Not products, but they all had heavy kid product commercials. I remember this! It was called "Winky Dink and You." IICS (the International Interactive Communications Society) hails it as the first example of interactive television. So it was not just a midwest thing, we had it in California, too.
