Nostalgia: Anyone remember Winky-Dink?

[TBlazer07]

Just 50 cents folks ...... it's magic!

Oh, yeah. A kid could get in real trouble if he didn't put the 'magic screen' on the tv before 'helping' Winky Dink out by connecting the dots.

Also do you remember the catch pharse "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!"

. From your username you have a couple years on me. :)

That whole show scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. I HATED Andy and Froggy and they both used to give me nightmares.

That saying in later years took on other meanings. :grin:

As for the links, yes, I've seen them. In fact Amazon has Winky-Dink on DVD. Not sure if it comes with the magic crayons. I want my grandkids to check out my interactive TV games.

I know. I always wondered why older boys found "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!" so funny until I hit puberty. :lol:
