Kid Show - My World of Imagination

By Bill Jackson

In "Kid Show, My World of Imagination," Bill Jackson (B.J.), is Chicago's legendary creator of some of the most imaginative local children's television in America. You are by his side from the surprising beginning to the inevitable end of his exceptional career. Along the way,he twice won national awards for the best local children's television in America. Bill created some of the most compelling puppets in the history of children's T.V., including smoke-billowing Dirty Dragon, prissy Wally and wacky Weird, and the quite exuberant Mother Plumtree. And, oh, yes, there was that non-puppet, The Blob -- the large, bizarre lump of clay B. J. sculpted that spoke unintelligible "mood talk" only B. J. could understand. His most popular shows -- "Cartoon Town," "B. J. & Dirty Dragon," and the nationally syndicated "Gigglesnort Hotel," were filled with cartooning,puppetry,cliff-hanging serials, sculpting, vaudeville skits, music production numbers, hilarious villains, improbable heroes, and Bill's quiet, easy-going manner. Bill's creativity not only delighted his audiences, it inspired them to seek creative careers of their own. Now, years later, written with Bill's off-beat humor and down-home style, "Kid Show" returns you to an era in local children's television we will never see again.
