Kids have fallen in love with some of TV’s most wonderfully bizarre programming. Here we look at a few retro series that kids loved despite — and perhaps, because of — their weirdness. Many people find clowns freaky, but I have a lifetime love of Bozo the Clown. While Bozo had regional TV shows in several U.S. cities, Bozo was a major part of Chicago television. It was in 1984, while attending a taping of The Bozo Show, that I decided that I wanted to have a career in television.
