DR Jeanne, it was this weekly cartoon where the main character,
Winky Dink, would get into a jam toward the end, and the children at home could "save" him by placing their special "magic screen" over the television screen [you had to send away for the kit, see], and then tracing things which they would show you in crayon. So for example, you could provide the boat that would take Winky Dink off the island, avoiding the alligators.
I'm just sure that a lot of kids followed the directions and traced in crayon on their television screen -
without the special kit.
