PROMO THE ROBOT’S ORANGE SUMMER SALAD

Rocketship 7 was a children’s television series that aired weekday mornings on WKBW-TV in Buffalo, New York from 1962 to 1978 and from 1992 to 1993.

The host of the show was Dave Thomas, who had joined WKBW in 1961. Promo the Robot was the show’s other main on-air character. Rocketship 7 featured segments with Thomas and Promo along with cartoons and other short programs such as Davey and Goliath, and Gumby. Thomas left the station in 1978 to join WPVI in Philadelphia, where he assumed the name “Dave Roberts” When Roberts left, WKBW canceled Rocketship 7

(as a side note Dave Thomas was a stage name- his original name? David Thomas Boreanaz. His son is an actor who kept his birth name- you might have heard of him if you’ve ever heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel or Bones. In fact, Promo made at least one appearance on Bones and I had to explain to the spouse my excitement of seeing Promo on Bones)
