- Description
- Episode Description
- King Friday the Thirteenth is expecting an important telephone call from the President of the United States, but Lady Elaine Fairchilde is using his phone. He asks Josie whether he can use her phone, and Josie very excitedly says, Yes! Josie can hardly believe it when King Friday tells her that the President asked about her. Todays special guest is Mr. Zoo who tells us about guinea pigs and turtles. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
- Series Description
- The Children's Corner is series of half hour episodes directed specifically to an audience in the 2-12 age bracket, but is also amusing and intriguing to sophisticated adult audiences. Its hostess is a young girl in her twenties, vivacious Josie Carey, who invites viewers into a whimsical world of imaginary friends. These characters, with their appealing idiosyncrasies and original charm, range from the engaging Daniel S. Tiger who lives in a clock to Grandpere, who lives in the Eiffel Tower and speaks only in French. Others of Josie's friends include: the dignified King Friday of Calenderland who's in charge of dates, Henrietta the cat, who is governess of 17 mice, and X Scape. Sometimes Josie takes her young audience to see how life goes on in Small World, where Gramophone, Rhoda and Phil Dendron and others reveal their engaging and spirit-like personalities. Special guests visit "The Corner" from time to time: Tony Greco, a versatile artist who draws stories; Pat Hamilton who can make flowers from paper towels; Stu Reynolds, a juggler; and Vivian Richman who sings folksongs. The tone of the series with songs, riddles, patter and make believe is excellent fare for youngsters whose parents are opposed to currently available wild west programs, yet who want to encourage imagination and creative thinking. The series received a Trophy Clock from the Sylvania Television Awards Committee for being the best local children's television show in the nation. This series was originally recorded on kinescope.
