UNCLE BRUCE

Uncle Bruce (Rodrick) and his dummy, 'Little Mike.'
I shot this photo on August 10, 1963.

Uncle Bruce was a great local kid's show. Hosted by Pastor Bruce Rodrick, the show had the usual peanut gallery of children and featured Mr. Magoo cartoons. The real draw was Uncle Bruce himself, a talented host who was also a ventriloquist. With his dummy, 'Little Mike,' and a cast of animal puppets including 'Bushy' the squirrel and 'Zookey' the crow, Rodrick promoted higher morals and behavior to the young viewers.

"Kids Bible Club" Sunday mornings on WFLA

Rodrick originally hosted a Sunday morning program on Channel 8 called "Kids Bible Club." The program's format included Bible drama performed by a cast of puppets, songs, and a Bible quiz. "Kids Bible Club" became very popular and Rodrick was soon given a weekday program called "Kid's Carousel," which was later re-titled "The Uncle Bruce Show." Rodrick continued to host the "Kids Bible Club" which taped every Tuesday evening, allowing him to be with his congregation on Sunday mornings.
