Bozo, Gar and Ray: WGN TV Classics (1970)
Bozo, Gar and Ray: WGN TV Classics is a two-hour television special produced by WGN-TV in Chicago, Illinois. It debuted in 2005 and featured on both WGN-TV and its superstation simulcast, WGN America. The program is hosted by WGN-TV personality Dean Richards. The special airs annually, immediately after the McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade on Thanksgiving nationally on WGN America, as well as on Christmas Eve on WGN Chicago. The show was created in response to the continuing popularity of WGN programming, including Bozo the Clown, which had been seen weekly on WGN until 2001. Because most Bozo shows were either wiped or never recorded, and because of scheduling constraints, rerunning the show was not an option. Thus, WGN decided to cobble together the best of the remaining tapes of WGN's children's programming to create the special. Included in the special were the Bozo programs Bozo's Circus, Big Top, The Bozo Show, and The Bozo Super Sunday Show, as well as the long-running children's programs Garfield Goose and Friends and Ray Rayner and His Friends, both of which are well known in Chicago although less known outside the area. The original incarnation of the Chicago Bozo show, Bozo, was not featured and is believed to be lost.
