Romper Room


Various versions of Romper Room were screened in the USA, UK and Australia. 

They all featured an appropriately motherly woman looked at the camera through her 'Magic Mirror' (basically a tennis racket minus stings) and speaking direct to camera (IE "you"). 

Example; "I can see Sarah, and I can see Michael, I can see David and John, and I can see Sally and Sandra" etc, reeling off a list of any old names, as kiddies everywhere sat glued to the set hoping she'd mention their name.

Each version also featured Mr Do-Bee and Mr-Don't Bee

In the USA there were also different regional Romper Room productions around the country (eg: one from Buffalo and another one from the New York City area).
