This will sound stupid because it is. I never liked Clancy, Willie, or Carmen because in my little-kid mind at the time, they were on a DIFFERENT channel than Casey and Roundhouse; they were the ENEMY! Not only that, I also found out that the channel 4 shows were taped the day before. I thought that Clancy and his co-horts were simply too lazy to get up in the morning to do their shows live. I will admit though that I watched the channel 4 kid shows because I've always been a huge fan of the "Little Rascals" comedies.

I was on the Clancy and Willie show with my bluebird group and infact got my ponies tail tugged which seemed like such a honor. It was so much fun and we couldn't wait to receive our bag of treats. But the thing I remember the most was Carmen the nurse. being quite young at the time I believed that the characters were really cops and nurses etc. Well to make a long story short it seems Carmen was running a little late on the day I was to be on the show so we had to wait for her to arrive. Boy was I surprised when Carmen finally came dressed in a lavish fur coat and sporting the biggest hairstyle I had ever seen in my life.

My mother saved an envelope from July 1971 in which I had won a Golden Ticket from a drawing on the Clancy & Carmen morning show to go to the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". I still have the 2 golden tickets with a bumper sticker that says Where's Willy Wonka? and it's in an envelope with the Paramount Pictures Corporation return address in the corner. I remember going to the movie at the old Cooper Theatre in Golden Valley, MN and standing in line with the other golden ticket winners and John Gallos (Clancy). I just love that movie and now there is a re-make out that I can bring my kids to.
