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).
