Susan's Show (1957)

This half hour children's show was about a young girl named Susan and her pet terrier Rusty. Each show they would travel to a magical place called "Wonderville". By saying out loud; "I wish there were a place to play, I wish I could fly away!" Susan and Rusty, while sitting in a (magical) chair, were whisked into the air and land in Wonderville. There Susan would meet imaginative creatures such as Mr. Pegesus, a walking talking sometimes flying table (voiced by John Coughlin), a talking stove, Caesar P. Penguin, or the Foolish Forest Orchestra. Song and stories were a regular feature. Later episodes featured the "Cartoon-a-Machine", that would show either a Popeye (Fleischer) or Terrytoon cartoon during the program. New adventures always awaited Susan. Weather visiting a circus, a trip to a castle, or a walk through the woods, she would always return home the same way her journey began. She would say; "Take me home flying friend, take me home!". Then Susan and Rusty would float back to her home, in the chair, right back to where they started, in her kitchen.
