    Does anyone remember the name of a children's show from the 70's that had a talking boot, "Princess" (the pink shoe) and they'd sing "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar" a lot? We as children called it "The Boot Show" (he was kinda the "host") but I know that wasn't really it. Any ideas?

    		Here is some discussion on it -- Read Along is possibly the name.

    Here you go...here's the show. "Readalong was an educational, Canadian television program for young children, first produced in 1976 for TVOntario."

    "Boot and Pretty, Happily Married and Still Living in Canada."

    I'm looking for a show I used to watch on SABC1's YOTv in South Africa when I was younger, called Princess Sherizon (at least I think that's what it was called. "Sherizon" could also be spelled wrong.) It was about a princess called Sherizon (she used to wear blue, I remember that), and she had a friend who was a genie and could transform into anything. This is about as much as I can remember, I'm afraid. I'm not sure whether it was a show made in South Africa or internationally, but Google searches yield nothing. I'm hoping someone can help me?

    Wikipedia claims that tap dancing may have derived from the African Welly Boot Dance. Can anybody find information about welly boot dancing that is not in Wikipedia's articles on tap dancing and the welly boot dance itself, or has the online encyclopaedia fallen for a hoax?

    Ron Howard once made a guest appearance on a sitcom that was built around a TV show, but might possibly have been a radio station. The interviewer seemed to feel he was interviewing Opie, not Ron Howard, and asked about Aunt Bee, Andy, etc. They even asked him to sing the song 'Wells Fargo Wagon' with his lisp. He gave up and actually sang the song before the show ended. I can't remember the name of the show, but hope to find it and maybe see that episode again. Can anyone remember this show?
