Hint: We never knew Microsoft founder Bill Gates at the time, but Bill was one of his pals, as was Gary Locke, and others.

Bill Nye, the Science Guy???

Real life Bert & Ernie?

Are these guys still alive?

Must have been a show from the late sixties, around the time the hippies were roaming...

No. No. Yes. He appeared regularly on television in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Hints:

He is a couple years older than my mother.
He visits children at the children's hospital.
A lifesize bronze statue of he and his friend (both seen in the first photo) is expected to be erected next year to honor them.

Damnit! What is with everyone trying to make me feel old lately. I know the one on the left (I maybe saw his show once or twice growing up). Hell, I gotta go for a drive, this is depressing.

Since you know, maybe you can post some hints or pictures that don't give it away.

Hint: He had an Emmy Award winning daily television show for more than 20 years.

scottwww · 05-29-2007, 02:52 PM

Hint: He had a wizard-like friend.

Maybe pictures will help. For the ones I could find, I went back and added pictures where appropriate.

scottwww · 05-30-2007, 11:24 AM

When help was needed, he became this:

I thought he was the chief of police... Maybe he wasn't the chief.
