Every show she would put on her huge novelty sunglasses which were supposed to allow her to see members of her audience. Parents would send in their kids' names so she could say a personal hello to them on the show, preserving the illusion that she could "see" them with her magic glasses. Even thetheme songwas peppy, with an Irish edge as she sang "H-O-B-O, K-E-double L-Y, Hobo Kelly, sure and begorah 'tis I!"
She was the creator of another children's live action show calledThe Froozles,also known asThe Land of Frooze,which aired on KHJ (now known asKCAL-TV) channel 9 in Los Angeles from 1970–78.The Froozlesfeatured apig-tailed,tomboycharacter named Muffin and her puppet friends, who were made to resemble children of differentethnicities.A recurring skit on the show featured a different set of moppy-haired puppets of a simpler design telling jokes through doors in a wall à laRowan & Martin's Laugh-In.[citation needed]
