What does the “Strong Arm” mean to you? Who beats a Dealin’ Doug deal? And what was the name of the clown whose show you wanted to be on more than anything? If you were able to answer these three questions, you’re definitely a Coloradoan who will instantly recognize these 12 celebrities:
1. Noell and Andy
Okay, baby boomers; raise your hand if you remember Noell and Andy, who aired weekday mornings on Channel 7 from 1968-1983.
2. Frank Azar
Now, Frank Azar can't guarantee you he'll win, but he'll try his hardest... that's just what the Strong Arm does!
3. Larry Zimmer
The legendary voice of the Broncos & Buffs has been a staple in Colorado homes since his debut in 1971.
4. Jake Jabs
This man needs NO introduction... but I will tell you that I was shocked to learn he's in his 80s! No wonder he's always taking such long vacations and leaving his price-chopping granddaughter in charge!
5. Carl Akers
The man; the myth; the legendary Carl Akers brought Colorado its news for decades.
6. The O'Meara Lady (Bonnie Murray)
Does anyone else consider Murray (who has been with O'Meara since 1976) to be part of their family? I feel like I see her more than I see my own husband!
7. Blinky the Clown
On the outside, I pretended to be happy for the kids whose birthdays were celebrated on Blinky's Fun Club, but on the inside, I was dying... I wanted Blinky to sing to ME!
8. Dealin' Doug
NOBODY beats a Dealin' Doug deal... but in the off chance that they do, DD's grandson will give you a car. Game. On.
9. Leon "Stormy" Rottman
"Sunny days and Stormy nights" aren't quite the same as they were when Chief Meteorologist Stormy Rottman ran the show!
10. John Elway
If you need an explanation, you need to leave. Now.
11. Sheriff Scotty
They sure don't make children's shows like they used to... Thanks for the memories, Ed (Sheriff Scotty) Scott!
12. Shaggy, Officer O'Dell, and Audra
PLEASE BRING BACK SHERIFF SCOTTY!!!
