Would anyone else think this would be something cool for SHOUT!

Hey Gang does anyone here think this would be cool and something SHOUT! would be perfect for? Might just be RETRO heaven! I never had a chance to see WINKY DINK - you know the show that was probably the first interactive show on tv- where you could buy the special "Magic" screen (plasitc) and help WINKY DINK get out of danger and peril - I have heard stories where the viewers would have to draw a bridge or something for WINKY DINK to cross and get to safety and other close calls!

Do any of these shows exist - would be cool to package it with a reproduction of the "Magic" kit so kids of every age from 8 - 80 could experience this innovative blast from the past!

There's no "magic screen" recreation, but check out our Hiya, Kids!! A '50s Saturday Morning 4-disc set. There's an episode of Winky Dink included. Brian Follow me on Twitter! (@BWard028)

Winky Dink was released on dvd a few years back.
