Fran Pappert just made a post in our local women's group. I fan girled so hard. She was the best. I also forgave her everytime she did not say my name.
I watched this as a kid in the 1960's. ( Calgary, Alberta). I just assumed the hostess of the time was looking into our living room right at me at me when she said my name. Never questioned the logic of it.
This closing doesn’t have the RKO Television logo which was only shown on WOR-TV (channel 9) where it had that one. This came from the. CKCO-TV airing where the RKO Television logo was not shown.
I watched this in the early 80's. I was very distressed that I'd wait everyday until the end to hear my name and she NEVER said mine. 😠. I had a common name too.
There were many different versions of the show for different regions all across north america. This was the Canadian version. If you look on Wikipedia, there were, like 40 different versions of it.
Little known too is it surfaced here in the UK too in the seventies and eighties, but only in the East Anglia Region of eastern England. Our local ITV franchise Anglia TV did their version with Miss Rosalynn who lived about 10 miles from me in Lenwade. The Anglia region covered 6 counties and about 2 million viewers but it never went national network, unlike our version of Sale of the Century also made by Anglia which did get shown nationwide, again made in Anglia's Norwich studios and was a top viewer ratings. So again a little known fact that one of our local shows actually started on the other side of the pond.
Does anyone knows if Romper Room featured a cartoon about a blonde hair princess who traveled around in a hot air balloon with a tiny white dog? I’m trying to find the name of it but no luck. Google couldn’t help.
@pinocchio730 Yeah, but even as a toddler you knew that the "I see you too" bit was just a cop-out so she wouldn't have to ADMIT she didn't see you, yeah? Hahaha. She saw my best friend Jen all the time... unfortunately, when she finally DID see "Jett", I was wearing nothing but underwear and eating a bowl of dry Sugar Crisp. I was completely mortified.
OMG, This woman is suffering. I mean, you can see it through her eyes, she was suffering for something. Yes, she's with kids on a happy place, but you can see that she's not happy. U.U I wonder what was she going through those days.
@AZAP28: Now as an adult I would say: "Lady whatever you are on lower the dose!" I miss these shows where they took a chance like Electric Company and School House Rock!
Everyone says she never said their name. My name at the time was billy. The most common name ever. She never said it. Today she would say, I see muhammed, achmed, ishtar.......BLECH.
She never said my name. :( I watched that show every day and not once did she say Le'Shaun. lol My mom would tell me "she said o fcourse friends i see u" I wasnt buying that answer. lol
omg i just scrolled through the comments and I am not alone anymore!!!!!!!! thank you u tube, i think we need a bitch never said my name support group!!!
Romper room was similar to Bozo show each t.v station that carried Romper room and had their own local hostess but each Romper Room had the same format a magic mirror that the kids at home were to look into and each local version had audience of preschool kids that played games with the hostess target audience for Romper room preschool kids once one grew past preschool age that person would find the show uninteresting being they targeted Romper room to preschoolers but taught kids important values the young kids could take through their lives.
That theme song is infintile. Today's psychologists warn against talking to kids in baby-talk. It makes it difficult for them to mature at a reasonable pace.
I remember watching this in the late 80’s and early 90’s with my younger brothers.
I never realized how great 1984 was until I got to 2021...
It was an innocent time.😅
As a kid I actually thought she could see me through her "Magic Mirrior" if I sat close enough to the TV! Oh the magic of childhood!
Me too bro, me too
OMG! I watched for years as a child and she never called out my name. But in this video, she does!!
The show would come on right before my kindergarten class but soon as I got into first grade I grew out of it lol
Nostalgia. I miss my early childhood years.

I forgot about this one‼️ 👍🙂
I watched this religiously in Buffalo, NY

My mother sent in all my brothers and sisters names, and she said all of our names all in a row on air.
I literally watched this everyday for a year as a kid and she didn’t say my name. I remember feeling so frustrated.
I watched this show growing up!
I never knew Romper Room was Canadian, after all this time.
There were many different versions of the show for different regions all across north america. This was the Canadian version. If you look on Wikipedia, there were, like 40 different versions of it.
@@ion-shivsWOR-TV NYC 9 aired a version.
My childhood..great memories
This episode of "Romper Room" was sponsored by Moosehead Beer.
It was started in Baltimore in 1958. It ceased production in the US in 1992, I believe, and was produced in Canada until 1997???
haha niiice. that takes me back!

Deshawn, Carlos, and Kim Soo still sittin' around waiting for their names to be called.
A woman once called Kimberly though.
Never said "Holly." Still traumatized.
+Holly Gaskin I know, right? I'm STILL pissed off that she NEVER said my name either...
She never said Julie either. I cry every night
I'm watching you though my magic mirror right now Holly lol.
Never said Monica and I was convinced my mom made the name up. Did say Alberta-my province.
WOR-TV NYC had this!
Lol Never once did they say my name on Romper Room though! I was so sad 😭
Just had a tottal flashback to childhood!
Never heard my name so I turned to the darkside .... The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
Does anyone knows if Romper Room featured a cartoon about a blonde hair princess who traveled around in a hot air balloon with a tiny white dog?
I’m trying to find the name of it but no luck.
Google couldn’t help.
I just looked in my mirror and all I saw was me. Guess I don't have the magic touch. Maybe I'll try it one night when there's lots of lightning.
My name is Bumbajubu. My family were refugees from Bajongo, Nigeria. That lady never said my name.
Big surprise
she just passed away in Fredericton New Brunswick
Starting to think she wasn't even looking in a mirror.
Yay she said Burt!!!
You'll do a doobie?
would it have hurt you to see marjorie, just once? still crying!!!!
@pinocchio730 Yeah, but even as a toddler you knew that the "I see you too" bit was just a cop-out so she wouldn't have to ADMIT she didn't see you, yeah? Hahaha. She saw my best friend Jen all the time... unfortunately, when she finally DID see "Jett", I was wearing nothing but underwear and eating a bowl of dry Sugar Crisp. I was completely mortified.
Today We have High School Dropouts! Back then when we were more rebellious, we had "Romper Room Rejects"!
Wasn't there an episode where the woman had a meltdown and started flipping out on the kids. I remember something like that. Anyone else?
Dammit. I missed the CFL game. Who won?
OMG, This woman is suffering. I mean, you can see it through her eyes, she was suffering for something. Yes, she's with kids on a happy place, but you can see that she's not happy. U.U
I wonder what was she going through those days.
and um yes i watched this as a child...
@AZAP28: Now as an adult I would say: "Lady whatever you are on lower the dose!" I miss these shows where they took a chance like Electric Company and School House Rock!
I would get so bummed and pissed that she never said my name. 40+ episodes and never called my name.
Same here. I think it was the start of my low self-esteem.
hahaha....I am sorry
He must have felt bad too
When I was 5-10 years old I thought the show was stupid then too.
My parents stopped watching the show when they started first grade though.
Women wore those thick wool skirts in those days. You would think it was the caveman days. It was more innocent then though.
Awwww, she didn't see me, didn't say my name :(
at her pace she looks like she can't wait to punch the clock and hit the sauce.
Man what happened to Dew Bee?
I was always in the "I see you too" crowd... Yanno, that kinda messes with a kid.
She never said my name too......no wonder I had to have therapy as an adult.....sigh....
AHHHHHHH!!! THAT'S SCARY!!! 😨 0:27
she was going through MKultra programming as were the kids
holy crap, i didnt know romper room was canadian....i was such an ignorant child
I never got into this one for some reason.
Yes!! She said my first and middle names.
Clearly, she wanted me.
She actually converted to Islam.
She Didnt See ME either!! =(
