NOW here's a title that harks to a far different world and time than we now know. The series was a part of the kiddie schedule on both ABC,as well as the old, historically important and long defunct DuMont Television Network.
What a busy, if spotty, career 'Ernest Duckweather' had. Check him out.
Believe me - This early-1950s TV show for kids was utter garbage.Yep.
I've seen the episodes 'Duckweather's TV Shop' and 'The Professor' from the second ABC series. Although the stories are simple and don't hold much interest for adults, it's interesting to see an early fantasy sitcom that has many of the elements that later shows like 'I Dream of Jeannie' and 'Bewitched' would later follow.
I saw Johnny Jupiter on my grandmother's TV also, however it was on the DuMont TV network and the year was 1953. Ironically, my grandparents had a DuMont brand TV cabinet set that included radio and record player.
