Comments left:	On the Chicago scene. From 9/14/71 on WFLD Ch. 32, a major format change involving Bill Jackson's after school kid show, retitled "B.J. and Dirty Dragon." Jackson's "Cartoon Town," with puppet characters and storylines, evolved into something resembling "Bozo's Circus" (WGN). The new format included a live studio audience, contests and the puppet characters became life-sized (costumed actors). Each adult in the audience received a Henry's coupon for a free burger. When WFLD moved from the John Hancock building to Marina City (1972 begins), Jackson's show went back to the "Cartoon Town" format with no live audience, but the show expanded from 30 to 45 minutes temporarily. During the live audience period, kids who participated on stage received different Kenner toys and cookies from the local Maurice Lenell (boy in cookie jar).
