Ding Dong School

1952· TV-Y· Family· Kids

“I’m your school bell, Ding dong ding. Boys and girls all hear me ring.”

Ding Dong School, billed as "the nursery school of the air", was a half-hour children's TV show which began on WNBQ-TV in Chicago, Illinois a few months before its four-year run on NBC.

A precursor to both Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, the show was hosted live by Frances Horwich, and at one point was the most popular TV series aimed at preschoolers.

The show and its host, Miss Frances, were mentioned in the comic strip Peanuts in 1955 and 1956.
