The hostess would also serve milk and cookies to the children, with prayer offered before eating. The famous Romper Room prayer went "God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our food. A recurring character was Mr. Do-Bee, an oversized bumblebee who came to teach the children how to be well-behaved; he was noted for always starting his sentence with "Do Bee", as in the imperative "Do be"; for example, "Do Bee good boys and girls for your parents!
Don't Bee" to show children exactly what they should not do. Do-Bee balloons were also manufactured. Each balloon featured a painted sketch of Do-Bee on it. When the balloons were inflated and then released, they would fly around the room slowly emitting a buzzing sound. These balloons were made available for purchase to the public.
The show used the then-popular Mattel Jack-in-the-box for its opening and closing titles, with its traditional nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme song. At the end of each broadcast, the hostess would look through a "magic mirror" — actually an open hoop with a handle, the size and shape of a hand mirror — recite the rhyme, "Romper, bomper, stomper boo.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play? Kids were encouraged to mail in their names, which would be read on the air — first names only. The biggest change to the program was the introduction of a series of new puppet characters, including a full costume character named Kimble, and puppets, Granny Cat and Up-Up. TV Series — — 1h.

Romper Room was a Franchised Series As part of a franchise agreement, local television stations could offer their own version of Romper Room to their viewers.
From franchise to franchise, the show was essentially the same…same format, same script…but the hostess and the children were local to the viewing area. But the shows were also syndicated and broadcast in markets where there was no franchise.
Some areas tailored the boxed script to fit their geographic needs. For example, the script was translated into Spanish and broadcast to the large Hispanic population in San Antonio, Texas. Local Kids Clamored to be on the Show The group of young local children, between the ages of four and five years old, appeared on Romper Room for two-month gigs, after which a new group of children was brought it.
Parents put their children on the waiting list to appear on the show years in advance. Some parents even registered their children before they were born because the waiting list was so long that by the time some children were selected, they were too old for the show.
Baltimore Sun. Remember Miss Nancy? Backstage, Miss Mary Ann told the crew that he would not be allowed on the set if he was late again. My Aunt said I squirmed the entire day. The other clown on the show was the meanest person I had ever met. She used to say nasty things to me to get me to cry or mess up my lines during sketches. She said something to me before our first segment that upset me so much, I couldn't remember how long I had been a clown about 2 years and that my mother made my costume she is still upset with me for doing that.
The mean clown had hurt my hand from holding it! People from WOR kept coming in and introducing themselves and telling us how nice we were for working with the handicapped back then, they were called retarded. I could have cared less! I wanted to go and watch the show. I was also very upset because Mr.
DooBee was not there. He was my favorite. We watched part of it but all they did was talk and it was really boring. Well, at age 5 it was boring. About 10 years ago, a friend of ours worked for a studio that had a machine that could transfer the tape to VHS. I hope you enjoy watching the clips, I am glad I can contribute to your page.
