I dislike clowns. Always have. Scared the crap out of me as a child. Still find them creepy. Sorry to hear him go though.

Not a big clown fan here. But I do like the ballon animals.

I guess it's a fad left over from before we had movies and television

I figured Bozo was dead already.

I grew up in Downers Grove Il, was on the show for my 6th birthday, played the bucket game and won a bike, those were good times.

Small world eh? I lived in Westmont, Ill. and went to his show also. My sister was freaked out by him so we had to leave. We lived next door to Shari Lewis at the time, she didn't like clowns either!

He may be gone, but his spirit lives on in many of the posters here.

I went when I was about 9 (the tickets were bought years earlier for my older cousins), it was when they picked the kids for the bucket game by panning the camera back and forth with animated arrows flashing. The camera landed on me...but they had already picked the boy for that show
