The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show
A short-lived television series featuring Gerald McBoing-Boing, a little boy who speaks through sound effects instead of spoken words. The series was based on several animated short films from the animation studio UPA, themselves adaptations of a story by Dr. Seuss. The series served as a showcase for other series by UPA, such as "Dusty of the Circus", "Punch and Judy", and "The Twirlinger Twins". The series only lasted for 3 months due to budget problems, though it was available for reruns in the summer of 1957.
