How is your New Year’s Day…so far? Mine started at 1:30am, as most weekdays do, after ending around 11 last night. I bounced right out of bed this morning. In fact, the adjacent picture was snapped by Mrs. Poteet as I was coming to. Man, I don’t look a day over 80. Hold the Botox. OK OK, yeah, maybe it IS a snap of TV legend Bob Carter from WTTV Channel 4 as “Sammy Terry.” Did you know Bob was allergic to that prop? Oh yeah, constant sneezin’ and coffin. I said “COFFIN!” Is this Internet on?
Time DOES fly; this month marks 13 years for me on “Good Morning Indiana”/”6News This Morning”/”The Morning News”/”Cowboy Bob and Friends.” (I may be fuzzy on at least one of those titles.) When I started in (Windows?)’95, who knew that I’d be pedaling my wares in so many different ways?
AM, FM, TV, Internet video, Internet text, the origami weather maps that I hand-craft for the WRTV staff…it never ends. Neither does the March Of Time. I hope you enjoy the ride in ’08.

Hey Paul! I say bring back Cowboy Bob and Sammy Terry! 😀
Thanks for the laughs in ’07, hope you have a great ’08!

That entry was like a Mt. Rushmore for Indy T.V. personalities. Tell Commander Casey I said hi Paul.
Dale says
Just 13 years? Seems like you’ve been on forever.
Paul says
Dale: ouch!
Kal El: was it Commander “Casey” or (I think) “K.C.?” Or am I thinking of the Sunshine Band?
Abby: Cowboy and Janie actually did a guest spot with me on Good Morning Indiana a few weeks ago. I’ll try to find the clip and post it here at Blog Central. Now, back to our cartoons.

Play those funky cartoons white girl?

Happy New Year Paul! Well, since I ‘played the role,’ let me comment on the Commander KC question. It’s as I have it here and the KC stands for “Kids Club” (so it’s the Commander of the Kids Club – the WB4 Kids Club that is which was our huge database of over 100K kids that we sent birthday cards to!). 😉 And so yeah, where’s been MY invite to come on the show?? haha Just kidding – they wouldn’t even let me keep the outfit (or even the name pin) once Fox took over the station, so it’s somewhere hidden in the Fox studios. 😉 haha
