In Boston area it was Big Brother, Bob Emery on WBZ TV 4.

Link has him & notes on the other Boston Kids shows I remember.
This cat would NEVER be put on today. Every day we drank a glass of
milk, saluted the flag & a pix of Ike while "Hale to the Chief" was
played. Also lots of basic & universal morality lessons taught.
On top of that lots of Kid appropriate stuff. If he came back I am sure
ANTIFA would kill him.........
Also had our local Bozo but I refused to watch him. He scared the
crap out of me !
