I never realized just how lovely Wanda was.

Thanks to EVERYONE who was associated with this show because you made my childhood something I can look back to with fond memories.

Oh my goodness, my sister and I loved this show so much. Living in the Dayton Ohio area all my life, the Cincinnati stations were very easy to get. I remember the dance they did. I showed it to my niece when she was 4 and she laughed hysterically. My mom watched all the Nati shows, Ruth Lyons, Bob Braun, etc. Paul Dixon was her very favorite and cried when they took it off. Literally sobbed. I also remember the ending song, It's a Small, Small World. ( I'm singing it in my head)

I watched this with my mom after she told me she was on this show as a child. This was fascinating and it was nice seeing my mom get pleasantly nostalgic.

I loved this show

Wow I just got teary eyed. Me and my cousin are in the first two minutes of this video in 1975. Thanks for this. It brings back so many good memories. I can still remember the excitement of the music. And omg Mama's cookies!

Thank you for this WCPO!! Brought a couple tears to my eyes, My sisters and I were on the show a couple of times and we watched it everyday at home.. Uncle Al and Captain Windy will always have a place in my heart and cherished memories! ❤ Mama's cookies too.. Ohh how I loved those things!

Being a kid in the Cincinnati broadcast area was a magical time, especially with Uncle Al. My mother, my brother, my neighbors and I were on the show when we children were quite young. I remember spending the entire show trying to get Uncle Al's attention, then disappointed that I never did get his attention, and at the end of the show, for the group photo, Wanda did her level best to soothe my disappointment by picking me up and telling me what a handsome boy I was. So, for the group picture, I was held by Captain Windy.

I remember being on the Uncle Al Show in the late ‘70s…Seeing my mom in the audience…I’ll be seeing her again soon. Great memories, thank you! Life is great, don’t waste it.

I was on the show twice, Wendy told my mom that my sister and I were so well behaved she wanted us to come back.

*Sure do wish they would provided an archive of episodes.*

My mom and aunt took me, my sister, and cousins to that show when we were little...I was backward and shy...it freaked me out and I cried!!!!!! Being on stage was different than watching it on TV and I just didn't get it at all...probably embarrassed my mom. I am looking to see if I can find myself with my pretty dress and ribbon in my hair........

I remember him.. 💜

I liked this almost as much as clubhouse 22 and shock theater.We lived in vandalia Ohio my sister liked it too

Uncle Al, Captain Wendy. I got 2 words to say to you........ Thank you 😢

What a wonderful documentary. Thank you. I cried, it brought back such great memories. I vividly remember the special effects shots. Even as a little kid, I realized what they were doing with the background and green screen , but I still loved it. Mostly I remember when he would go into the big cave, and talk to the giant, but you could just see his feet. 37:48 And I remember a hot air balloon , 35:26 where one kid just walked out of the basket, off into the sky. I thought that was so funny. The mistakes and things going wrong were part of what made it interesting to watch. Having the kids on was a stroke of genius, because it made everyone want to tune in and see if their friends were on. Uncle Al is so ingrained in my mind, that when I hear UNCLE…. I think …AL! But if I hear just AL… I think Schavelkote. Or Bob…Braun. Or Nick…Clooney.

My audio is turned up clear in michigan

I remember being on the show! Wendy was kind of mean and Al hit on my mom.

Looking for the late night bumper ie opening of the Big Show ch9 it features the Cincinnati stadium and played What is life

Cable took all this away from us. And we thought it was a good deal.

❣️💯😁👍

He was Mr. Rodgers before Mr. Rodgers.

One of the most egotistical, rude, and demanding people I’ve ever met. Treated people who waited on him as though they were his personal servants.

Sure do wish they would provided an archive of episodes.
