I grew up in South-Western Ohio, so Uncle Al was also a favorite, like many others here. If you live in the area you can still run into people who appeared on the show as a kid to do the dance (which involved balling up your fists like Popeye and shaking your shoulders side to side as quickly as possible). I think I watched because Uncle Al would show at least one Warner Brothers cartoon during the show. He also spent a great amount of time selling the local hot dog brand and a certain soft drink on the show (Barq).

The Cool Ghoul would do some stuff on another Cincinnati station, 19, during the afternoon, but I actually hated the guy and never watched. Just annoying, although I know a lot of people who loved him.

Being in the Dayton area, I saw much more of Clubhouse 22, which was on Channel 22 and featured first a guy named Malcolm MacLeod and then later Joe Smith. It was an hour-long show that was a mix of cartoons and a talk-show with a gallery of kids that would dance during commercial breaks. Joe would later be joined by local horror-host Dr. Creep (who eventually took over the show completely) and a giant, silent dog named Duffy. I still have an autographed picture of Duffy somewhere from when he appeared as the grand opening of a Hardee's.

Most of my regular viewing as a kid were the sitcoms that aired during the afternoon hours, with the occasional appearance of something like Speed Racer, Ultra-Man and Warner Brother cartoons.

As a teenager, once we got cable, I did see Barnaby and Popeye & Peggy every so often. My wife grew up watching Cowboy Bob on Channel 4 out of Indy when she was a kid. Otherwise, there were a lot of local shows on, but mostly geared to housewifes (like the Bob Braun Show, Paul Dixon and Donahue).
