AboutMarcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.

Question Hello. I remember a show that came on tv when I was a kid. Most memories
are mid to late 80s. I can't remember the first half, but for the last 5 minutes
of so of every show, the host, an elderly gentleman, would go draw on a large
sheet of orange paper the size of a freestanding revolving chalkboard. It
would usually be a fantasy scene with multiple little imps/creatures running
around doing various tasks. One scene I sort of remember is underground. I
always used to think it funny that he was just tracing with a marker and could
just make out what he was tracing.
I grew up in texas, specifically Abilene and College Station if that helps. I've
googled every possible variation of the clues above to no end and it's
messing with my sanity. Anything you know would be helpful. Thanks,
TITUS
Answer HI Titus,
Sorry, but I'm empty on this one. It sounds like it could have been a local show or a syndicated local show. You might try contacting the TV station you think it might have aired on; they might be able to help. This is out of my era, to be honest.
