Loved Garfield Goose. Glad I grew up during this golden age.

@catherinenoble6214 3 года назад

This really warmed my heart. I was trying to explain to someone, not from Chicago, about Frazier Thomas and how he affected Chicagoans, so I decided to look for Garfield Goose on RU-vid and came upon this tribute. Frazier Thomas was a wonderful man! I remember when I was 5 years old and my extended family went to the Bozo show, and we got lost on the way there and showed up 30 minutes late for the taping. We had to wait backstage until a commercial to be seated, and as we were waiting, Bozo came up to my family and said, "Welcome, we've been waiting for you." And it was so kind and compassionate (because I thought we'd be yelled at for being late). I've never forgotten that crew. Really a class act. I miss you, Frazier and Bob Bell. Never a scandal about any of you. And true diversity. Rest in Peace.

@krumbsbakery154 2 года назад

i truly hope even though no scandal was ever brought up that these men personally never harmed a child or woman, i truly do

WGN had such great children's programming when I was growing up in the Chicago area. It's amazing how well they did with all the low budget kid's shows. Just shows what great people and a little money can accomplish when they care about what they are putting on for kid's to watch.

Frazier along with Ray Rayner, Bill Jackson, and Harry Caray were our TV and radio friends growing up in Chicago. They were the best at what they did and cared enough for the audience and the kids to always put out a great product you could learn something from.

@ashforddaniel8487 8 лет назад

I live in the Caribbean and as a child in the 1980s I have fond memories of Frazier Thomas on the Bozo Show and on Family Classics every Sunday. Our local television station (SVG TV) used to join WGN channel 9 almost very day and so I saw a lot of the programming. I loved the theme of Family Classics and I still remember watching movies such as the Return of the Black Stallion. He would always end Family Classics by saying "Join us again next week, wont you?" When he died I remember my friend and I in primary school saying that we wished we were in America so that we could go to his funeral. He and Bozo and all of WGN helped cement my childhood as a very precious golden era that I would not trade at all.

@4687878 9 лет назад

WGN was one of the few networks we got in Galena. I vaguely remember Garfield goose. I guess I didn't realize he was the one on the bozo show. Damn, those were the days. I'm not sure is there another WGN that actually airs the news? Since WGN went to WGN America, I haven't been able to watch it. Jackie Bang was my favorite newscaster.

@Harveycartoonlvr11 8 лет назад

Frazier was not only an excellent television personality...he was a Master Model Railroader too! I always looked forward to his, "Hobby Corner" on the old "Garfield Goose And Friends" show. As time goes by, and the years catching up with me very quickly, I realize that these TV Legends were as important to my childhood, and what I expect from being a television viewer today. Miss him and Ray Rayner too!

@ToylandFalabellas 6 лет назад

I was on Hobby Corner, my family raised and bred Himalayan cats out of Chicago. I brought a cat on the Hobby Corner show, I remember how exciting it was! I was 9 years old, It was around 1973 or so??? i wish I could find a copy of that episode, those were the days!

@AmosNomore 9 лет назад

I learned as much or more about being a decent human being from people like Frazier Thomas, Fred Rogers, Andy Griffith, etc. as anybody else in my life. Do kids today have mentors like them to coach them along when their parents, teachers, preachers and other authority figures are too preoccupied with themselves to deserve any respect? It's such a tragedy that Garfield Goose (and Bozo, Ray Rayner, etc.) tapes were not preserved for rerun.

@danalong1237 8 лет назад

Before WGN's Family Classics was a Sunday Afternoon tradition, it was originally a Friday Night institution. After every film (which host Frazier Thomas personally selected and edited himself), Thomas would tell the viewers about the next week's film on Family Classics with his trademark catchphrase "I hope you can be there to see it" and then would sign off with "'Til then I'm your host Frazier Thomas wishing you all a very pleasant evening... and goodnight." After his death, the late Roy Leonard took over as host until its cancellation in the year 2000. I hope Family Classics is brought back to WGN one day!

@AndreOutlaw 8 лет назад

Same in our house. I remember as a kid laying on the floor and watching with the rest of the family. It's strange that I didn't think of doing anything else and the rest of the family never made it seem as if they wanted to do anything else. And not to go into "get off my lawn" mode. But it seems that nobody wants to just sit down and watch a movie together any longer at home. Have to force them into a theater with a hundred other people to get them to stay there and watch.

@danalong1237 8 лет назад

Movies on Family Classics included "Doctor Dolittle," "Sink the Bismarck," "Mysterious Island," "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Treasure Island," "The Desert Fox," "Jason & The Argonauts," "Swiss Family Robinson" and "Robin Hood," to name a few.
