With WGN, this was a staple for me, I think it was Sundays…early 90’s

It was on WGN every week day in the 80s.

i remember it well. when i was older, i came to realize what perverts they were. they were dropping inuendos all the damn time.

About the biggest surprise is learning that Bozo was a franchise and that the Chicago/WGN version wasn’t even the first version.
(Im sure the board’s Atlanta, Georgia, and Miami natives can attest to their own regional Bozos.)

Bucket 6 was always a crisp $50 bill and a brand new bike! Now we have transgendered super heroes that kids can watch after school. It was just a better time to be a kid.

The only clown that ever mattered to me, he was at my 4th or 5th birthday party

Oh hell yeah! Watched this show at my Paw Paw’s house as a little kid. We loved that show.

Yep. And I’ll always hate the Cubs for bumping it on the regular during BB season. Oh to be a kid in BR again. The 80s were the shite

David Arquette was on Joe Rogan and said he bought the rights to Bozo and is bringing him back.

Loved watching WGN back in the day. Bozo and the Cubs.

Hell yeah I remember that on WGN. Little shits winning those Schwinn bikes.

Just watched a few grand prize games on YouTube and my 11 yo son was like, “you actually watched this?” I thought, “your fuggin’ right I did…and was glad to do so”. Creepy AF….wtf was I thinking supporting these clowns?

I hope they moth balled his old arse when they put him in the closet. If not, that's gonna be a mess.

Is that the game where they tossed the ping pong ball in the buckets?
I was sure I would dominate that when I was a kid.

Dude was really handsy with the kids. Is he a sex offender or something? Wouldn’t be surprised…

It was a sad day when the national WGN feed turned into a run of the mill cable channel. They held out longer than TBS as a true “superstation.”
It was a weird time when the nation followed local Atlanta and Chicago news.

Ted had TBS. Who owned WGN during that time?
