The passing of Philadelphia kiddie show host Gene London at 88 is a reminder that an entire era is almost totally gone and forgotten. Anyone of a certain age was raised on local TV kiddie show hosts. Obviously, TV left that behind about 50 years ago, when more restrictive advertising codes went into effect and children's TV went national (and, ultimately, to cable). Gene London's "Cartoon Corners General Store" aired on channel 10 for years, and now it's only us older folk who even remember what a local kiddie show was. (WCAU-TV/Philadelphia)
