It had Bob McCalister as the host. He passed away a long time ago, but he had all these kids on the show playing games, doing all kinds of fun stuff, singing and dancing. This was in the 70's.

I remember that show! I used to like that. I remember wanting one of those
Bagel necklaces when I was a kid.

It was on Channel 5

I used to watch that "Kids Are People Too" Michael Young was the host.

Didn't ABBA perform "Fernando" on Wonderama one time? For some reason, I can remember it being on or around Halloween.

I miss Channel 5, I wish my cable company would carry it again.

I watched Wonderama.

Used to like it as a kid, can't remember too much about it except for Bob McCallister, the kids in the audience, the snakes in the can, and some guests.

Would love to see it again.

Anyone remember "The Patchwork Family" or "Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine"?
