Waterloo Iowa?

A Romper Room show was broadcast out of Waterloo Iowa as well... Can we add that to this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.80.34.92 (talk) 01:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Romper Room Murder?

I seem to recall that one of the hostesses from the Pittsburgh Romper Room was murdered - but I can't find anything about it on the internet. Is anyone aware of any info on this? Jeannedb 15:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three controversial events?

The Controversy section opens with the phrase "Three controversial events were connected with Romper Room:" but only two are cited. In checking the history, I can't see any third one being recently chopped out, so I'm correcting it. If anyone disagrees, please let me know. --KNHaw 22:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mugging, Not Murder

Link to TVAcres.com [1] Scroll down the page to find a list of all the hostesses, the one from Pittsburgh even has a link to her current website - so your recollection of her being murdered is inaccurate. Perhaps you were remembering that L.A. Romper Room hostess Mary Ann King was mugged in a parking in December, 2003. She was 70 at the time, and sustained a broken arm, rib and punctured lung, plus the thieves stole a bag that contained the original Magic Mirror used on the Romper Room program.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the fact that the media (and you, nothing personal BTW) made mention of the mirror prop as if it were really magical in some way, or the fact she carried it around with her after all those years. (LOL- It should be under 24 hour armed guard! I've wanted it ever since being on a Romper Room epidode in 1966! Now I'll never have it!) Batvette (talk) 10:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:V74361i4jrh.jpg

Image:V74361i4jrh.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Children's parents on Romper Room

My mom appeared on a few episodes. She was the one in the yellow dress. Did you appear on a few episodes as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.60.79.4 (talk) 01:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No on-stage Mister Do-Bee, Mister Music in 1960's/1970's New York shows

The first time I saw "Mister Do-Bee" as anything other than a static cartoon-character bumblebee was in one of the revamped shows of the 1980's. At that time, "Mister Music" had become an on-stage pianist rather than music (live or recorded?) from offstage. In the revamped shows, the old, familiar songs (such as "Bend and Stretch", "Punch a Ball", "Come With Us and Gallop", and "Funny Mister Punching Clown") were scrapped, along with the activities they accompanied, and I don't recall seeing any of the prerecorded short films that were bookmarked by the galloping-horse (sorry, forgot the exact name of the toy) exercise segments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.150.204 (talk) 18:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
