Comments left:	A few additional notes on yesterday's story on the Henry's TV commercial I saw. The quality was fair, but zooming in, found a few more things. The slogan was: "The Adult Menu Kids Like." On the shake cup, a caricature head, apparently, of the head of Henry Bresler. Also pictured, shrimp, hot dog and several thick burgers. I'll now tie in Henry's further to the Mulqueen show. From January to December, 1966, "Kiddie A Go Go" was on Saturday mornings over Chicago's Ch.7. The show moved to low-power, UHF, WCIU, Ch. 26, and was on weekdays at 4PM (CT). All the way up to cancellation, "Go-Go" had been produced in black & white. Though occasionally telecast live, the show was taped for syndication in about 40 markets. The Henry's restaurant chain bought air time starting mid 1967, one commercial per show. During this time, a young man named Don Cornelius began working as a newscaster at Ch. 26. A few months after "Go Go" ended, the local version of "Soul Train" began, and a sponsor with a much fatter wallet than Henry's backed it up: A powerful man named John H. Johnson with his portfolio of businesses.
