Subject: OT - name of fairy tale tv show

 When I was a kid there was a show on tv we used to watch in school for story time.  Essentially it was fairy tales being told while an artist was doing chalk or pastel sketchings.  The sketches would be started and then morphed into the next phase of the story.  I'm running blank on the name of the show.

Sounds vaguely familiar.  Don't know the name though.  

Maybe the name is at this link

You wouldn't be thinking of Winky Dink? 

That was the first interactive video game, sort of......

it wasn't interactive-- it might be reruns of gather round, but not sure

The in-school shows might be lost to history by now.  There were lots of
local and regional educational TV setups before NET ---> PBS got really organized.

An artist named John Robbins did the shows I mentioned above in the 60's and 70's. I have no idea how old you are ;o).

 I'm a child of the 80's - it might be the John Robbins shows - just not sure

Oh, I guess that lets out 'fractured fairly tales' on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show (though that's where the name 'Wayback Machine' comes from...;)

LOL I loved fractured fairy tales. But my friend the wayback machine was used by Mr.Peabody and Sherman which was a separate cartoon “Peabody’s Improbable History”.  And you can't forget
"Aesop & Son" oh man are we ever showing our age now LOL!

Ah, my fondest memories of childhood...lol. Sunday mornings - Rocky and Bullwinkle, Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog, if I remember correctly ;o).

And yes, PaganArtist...we are showing our age...hehe.

hmm...they were all in the same show, as I remember...;) They had Peabody, Fractured Fairy Tales, Bullwinkle, and even Dudley Do-right...maybe they all were on in succession...;)

Yeah, Peabody had the Wayback Machine, along with Sherman the talking dog...;) There even used to be a local band here called Peabody and the Waybacks...;)

Re: Rocky and Bullwinkle... The machine was officially called the WABAC Machine (still pronounced "wayback" though), and even an old fart like me remembers seeing them in reruns as far back as the 1970's (when I was little, Sesame Street was still fairly new).

(no idea what the acronym "WABAC" actually stands for, though :) ).

Was the show originally asked about "Reading Rainbow", perhaps? (never really bothered watching it per se, but it sounds along those lines, and Wikipedia's entry for it tends to agree with the premise).

Sesame Street's first year was the year I first went to kindergarten. I was four. At the time (I think), Electric Company was already on, but I'm not certain. Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno, one who already had been and one who would be...lol.

Sesame Street just celebrated it's 40th year on the air. The Electric Company was a spin off project of the same company, The Children's Television Workshop.

 As we slowly drift off topic. :)

As mentioned, there were a lot of regional shows, but was it "Gather 'Round" ?
