On #4, there may never have been a Bozo's Big Bop, but there was a circus-themed kids' show called Billy's Big Top, hosted by Billy Barty dressed as a ringmaster. (Weird Al Yankovic and I almost certainly watched it simultaneously from opposite ends of the greater Los Angeles area).

8/10. I grew up with Bozo in Boston and I vaguely remember Nozo. His nose was pointy or something. I didn't watch Bozo all that much. Fast forward many years. Frank Avruch was a local TV personality who would talk about subjects usually relating to the performing arts. Culture-type stuff. One day my mom said to me, "You know he was Bozo the Clown, right?" I was so surprised! Never would have imagined it. 🤡

It was so sweet. There was Friendly the giant , Rusty a rooster puppet and Jerome a giraffe puppet and some others. I loved that show. ❤️

That is so true. Once in a while I listen to the theme song “Early One Morning” and it takes me back to my childhood.

9 out of 10! Got No. 3 wrong, as I always thought it had its origins here on L.A. TV! It was usually shown either on KCOP Ch. 13 or KTTV Ch. 11, if I remember correctly. 🤡👍😁
