★★★★★ · I Love Mary Hartline ! · Jonnie King · 2011-01-17
Okay, I'll admit it: Growing up I watched Mary Hartline on "Super Circus" and fell in love ! Beautiful Blonde, Baton Majorette Short Skirts, Cute Boots...WOWZER ! It set my 10 year old heart thumping every week. Now, seeing this self-titled daily show of her's reinforces my feelings all over again...as an older, not 10 year old, male of the species. What many don't know is that Mary suffered from Polio as a young girl, and eventually recovered. BUT, watching her sit down for most of this program, I wondered if there were still some residual effects from her illness at the time these shows…

I quite enjoyed this. Nothing like live, local TV...the flubs just add to the fun. I'm quite amazed this even exists, considering how little local TV survives from that year.
