Uncle Al
Those of you in your late forties to early sixties probably have a glossy 8 x 10 black and white group photograph which includes you sitting in front of the barn on the set of the long-running local children’s show “The Uncle Al Show.” It was one of the major rites of childhood for children growing up in or near Cincinnati. The Uncle Al Show was the longest running children’s program in the history of commercial television. It ran from 1950 – 1985 on WCPO-TV channel 9.
Al Lewis passed away February 28th and his passing brings up such happy memories for so many of the children of Cincinnati.
