uncle bobby start out a a short and wiry little man with a hawk nose and british accent and but end up be a less mobile and pulpy nosed and long white haired old man and less of a british accent and with a huge stomach . i believe the show featured cartoon and kid feature and include a regular visit from a safety cop from the toronto police corp . off the program and he do like his wee dram . i read somewhere that uncle bobby and ctv sportscaster pat marsden use to close some bar in downtown toronto back in the late 1960s and early 1970s . bimbo the clown and the birthday puppet deserve some mention here and also . what be it about host of kid show in this era and their cardigan sweater . be there some symbolism here that be escape me . one thing i remember that at some point and the show stop take itself so seriously and laugh at itself quite regularly and a the rest of u be do . these cheap little show be so bad and they be truly great . the uncle bobby show be an institution here in canada and more should be make of this talented man who come to entertain u in our living room every weekday .
