For those of us that remember watching (1953-57), ‘Winky Dink’ was a Saturday morning show that we all loved. Host Jack Barry would draw on a glass plate and at home, we could draw the same picture on the screen with our “Magic Window”. At about the 2 minute mark, you’ll get to see the kit many of us had at home to draw along. A sheet of clingy plastic and crayons.

A few years later Jack Berry would be at the center of the Quiz show scandal with the show 21.

More than a few of us used crayons right on the screen without the “magic window.” I hope the statute of limitations has expired for this transgression…

I remember seeing this and the fun of “interacting”…
