Goodbye Uncle Gus
I just read that Uncle Gus died recently. I'm willing to bet that any kid who grew up around here in the 60s or 70s watched the Uncle Gus show on WMUR. I never got to go be in the audience, but I remember the Name the States game, the birthday wishes and, of course, the cartoons. Any chance that any of you ever got to go see the show?

I remember watching Uncle Gus but never went to a show either. I can remember thinking, at times, that he was mean but then the cartoon portion of the show would come on and I was ok.
Yup, I remember him being kind of mean at times too. He got annoyed when the kids weren't behaving.
I think that show was the closest I ever got to a formal education in US geography! :O
So true! I thought Philadelphia was a state until I moved to NH and watched Uncle Gus.
