The Twin Cities in Minnesota had "Lunch with Casey" for many years. Casey Jones, played by Roger Awsumb, (pronounced 'awesome') was a railroad engineer. His sidekick was Roundhouse Rodney, played by Lynn Dwyer, a former Ice Capades skater. The show ran for about 20 years and included the usual Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Gumby and silly skits with the show's roster of characters. Casey had his own happy birthday song that he sang at the end of each show, followed by him reading the names of kids whose birthday was that day. ("Happy, happy birthday to every girl and boy. Hope this very special day brings you lots of joy. Hope the birthday presents you get from mom and dad will make this very special day the best you've ever had.") You knew you were cool if your name was on the list! http://lunchwithcasey.com/main/?p=5

WGN in Chicago had "Garfield Goose and Friends" back in the 1950s and on into the mid-1970s. Host and creator was Frazier Thomas, who did all the voices of the many puppet characters. I received a Garfield Goose puppet as a birthday gift and I loved playing with it and making those clack-clack noises with its hard plastic bill. Clips of this show are extremely rare but you can see one here: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=3606

There were two more popular kids tv comedy performers..who were seen weekday afternoons and sunday mornings in the NYC/NJ/Ct.viewing area from 1960 to 1967. Chuck McCann and The Paul Ashley Puppets entertained many NYC kids on"Laurel & Hardy & Chuck" Weekday afternoons and Sunday afternoons from Wednesday September 7,1960 to Friday December 29,1962 and Sunday October 14,1962 to Sunday December 31,1962. They also hosted"Let's Have Fun!"Sunday Mornings from Sunday September 18,1960 to Sunday August 15, 1965 and "The Chuck McCann Shows" from Monday September 3, 1963 to 1966. These shows were seen on WPIX TV Ch.11 in NYC and "The Chuck McCann Show"was also seen Weekday afternoons and saturday mornings on WNEW TV Ch.5 in NYC. McCann and Ashley and their puppets also mc'd two more kids tv shows on WNEW TV Ch.5 during the 1965/1967 tv season.."The Great Bomo's Magic Cartoon Circus Lunchtime Show" and "Chuck McCann's Laurel & Hardy Show". I hope that you might add their efforts as two of NYC's most popular kids tv comedy performers to The Regional TV/Radio section of your "Baby Boomer eMuseum" website?

Wikipedia has a pretty comprehensive List of local children's television series (United States), sorted by state/city. Some (but not all) of them have links to their own Wikipedia pages.

The info about most of the kids tv shows that aired in The NYC viewing area that is listed at Wikipedia is not correct..Duff.. EG: "The J. Fred Muggs Show" didn't air on WNEW TV Ch.5...It aired on WNTA TV Ch.13 from Newark, N.J. If you and the other users of "The Baby Boomer eMuseum" want to learn more about NYC's most popular kids tv shows? You should check out the articles written by a fellow named Kevin S. Butler in "The NYC Kids Shows Round Up" section in The "Lost Kids Shows" section of www.tvparty.com
