Growing up in the 60s in Chicago was a blast, we actually had toys that we played with rather than having the toys just entertain us. Only a few had batteries... and they were D cells. HA! Like I mentioned, I grew up in Chicago and vividly remember the big orange Cuddly Dudley. I remember that he was originally a Tribune Company promotion and was a regular skit on Ray Rayner, but I also remember a television commercial that would air around Christmas with the house (set) decorated for Christmas. The commercial showed Cuddly Dudley on some stairs and a kid or two hugging him at the bottom. I've searched and searched and can't find a copy of the television commercial. I don't know which Chicago broadcasting station aired it; it could have been one or many. I’m hoping that someone may know where to find it or if anyone has found it before.
