- StarsDave RobertsThe weekly children's show was televised live on weekday mornings at WKBW, Buffalo, New York. The show used the guise of an astronaut (Dave Thomas) and his robot, "Promo the Robot", taking off to orbit around the Earth. As a early weekday morning children's show they would show cartoons such as "Ruff 'n Ready", "Tennessee Tuxedo", "Peter Potamus" and the claymation show "Davey and Goliath" among others. Between cartoons they would show children's drawing, announce birthdays, and have little skits or actions related to being in "orbit and on a rocketship". As the show became more popular they would add more characters in the form of puppets. One of the first was a character named "Mr. Beeper". His character of an alien that landed his little spaceship on the set, was played out in a little mystery that lasted a week as he wasn't revealed until the end of the week. Dave and Promo would speculate about who it was and what it might look like or if it was dangerous. On the final reveal, the character "Mr. Beeper" (later known as "Biff Beeper" , a puppet, introduced himself and was considered a "friendly" alien. His interactions with Dave and Promo would be through the "door" of his spaceship. Later on other characters where added, such as "Alex the Cat" an slightly obnoxious but cute and humorous cat. A running gag on the show was how "Alex" would lure Dave close enough for Alex to give him a little bite. Two more puppet characters were added later. Mr. and Mrs. Sweetly, an friendly old couple that would also join in with the skits and also interact with Dave. The 2 hour show was divided into two parts, the first would start with the rocketship blast-off, using NASA film of a rocket launch. The second half of the show was shown as "Stage Two", again using stock NASA footage of a stage two rocket separation. More cartoons and interactions would continue. In 1967 Promo the Robot was redesigned to a more modern look. The show premiered September 10, 1962 and ended in 1978 when Dave Thomas left WKBW to be the meteorologist at WPVI Philadelphia. When he left, WKBW-TV cancelled "Rocketship 7". In 1992 to 1993 "Rocketship 7" was rebooted as a Saturday morning show, with the usual cartoons and skits, now starring Tom Jolls, who was the station's "Commander Tom" an weekly afternoon show similar in content to "Rocketship 7".
- StarsTom JollsTim WarchockiThe Commander Tom Show was a Buffalo, New York market show--outside airings were very seldom. It consisted of interstitial segments with Tom Jolls--the host of the show and also a Buffalo, New York weatherman--shown around episodes of the Adventures of Superman (TV Series 1952-1958). Dustmop the puppet (a dog) was introduced in 1967. An alligator puppet, Matty the Mod followed, along with the first female puppet Cecily Fripp, modeled after American comedian Phyllis Diller. After its cancellation in 1991, the show essentially merged with another Buffalo market show, Rocketship 7 (TV Series 1962-1993), until its own cancellation in 1993.
