"Uncle Bobby" aired from 1964 to 1979 on CFTO-TV in Toronto, starting locally before briefly joining the CTV Network. Starring Bobby Ash, a former UK comedian and clown, the show featured puppets and guests like Bimbo: The Birthday Clown and various performers. Produced at CFTO's Channel Nine Court studios, it became known for Uncle Bobby's catchphrase, "MMMM...BOBBY'S HERE!!!" Engaging kids as "bobbysoxers," it transitioned to "Kid's Corner" in 1979, continuing as a syndicated Saturday morning program.
