The first post-TV generation grew up in the golden glow of animated splendor as the Jetsons, The Flintstones, and a vast array of superheroes invaded the living room, culminating with the herald of things to come; a great dane who reluctantly solved mysteries with his groovy friends.
50 years ago..this month on WNEW TV(formerly WABD TV Ch.5 and many years later:WNYW TV)Ch.5 in NYC..Radio/tv broadcaster,artist,scriptwriter,cartoon vo performer and children’s tv wraparound host/performer:Sandy Becker,created,produced and presented his own tv puppet version of Sir Charles Dickens classic Yultide tale:”A Christmas Carol!”.
The show was first seen on Becker’s weekday evening kids tv series(the puppet version of the story was wrapped around the reruns of old movie cartoons and commercials)..on saturday night December 23,1961..a special hour long edition of this show was broadcast..without the cartoon reruns.
It was and still is the most unique interpretation of Dickens’ morality play ever seen on tv.
