I spent many hours as a kid in front of the 6' long console TV watching his show.
RIP JP

I loved that guy.
About twelve years ago I stood in line for hours, with my oldest daughter on my shoulders, for a chance to meet him. I was the last guy of a long line of people at the end of a hot summer day. He shook my daughters hand and smiled but she was bored LONG before that and i told him she doesn't even know who he is... I stood in that line so I could meet him, not her. He said, very matter of factly; "Kid, it has been a long day, I dont really care and I am going home."
He totally blew me off.
What is remarkable though is that I still don't even blame him. It was hot and it was a long line and fans like me are a dime a dozen. I STILL love that guy, I hope he is in a better place now and his family is at peace.
I heard that most of the episodes were lost somehow. it is a shame that kids now won't get the benefit of his zany sense of humor.

i watched everyday before school and after..
i got to meet him once at i think it was thriftway store. i was like 6 or 7yrs.
i still can remember the lecture he gave me about playing with matches..(i had burnt my left leg very bad and i had to learn to walk with it allover again). he was and still is an ICON in this part of the world..
the thing i remember the best was around christmas time and hed go to the north pole to see santa.. as a little kids i thought that was cool.. and even into my teens ..

I won tickets to the Circus 1 morning. Up to that point in my life, hearing my name on JP Patches show was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
I saw JP a few times in the last 5 years at this or that fair. He always brought a smile to my face. At one fair not so long ago, he touched the nose of a cute little girl and said now "you're a bunny rabbit" she started bawling so JP asked her what was wrong "i don wanna be a bunnyrabbit" It was hilarious.
RIP JP

JP & Gertrude... True Icons. A busy mothers dream come true for dealing with kids before and after school. I'd ride my bicycle home from Medina Elementery cuz I got myself kicked off the school bus for bad behavior and It was Cap't. Puget , then JP, and then Stan Boreson, that crazy accordian player from over there in Ballard.
I had a crazy uncle named Inar, a commercial fisherman with the biggest hands I ever saw. Always a hoot to have at the anual Christmas Eve Norweigion dinner cuz he loved to pull a cork on free liquor. He loved Stan.

Means now you are a member of King TV's club with Stan.
And Uncle Torval, and the dog Nomo. Lazy dog, never moved.
RIP JP

He truely made Mr. Rogers look like a homo.
JP wore make up and was fine with it.
He is right up there with Speed Racer.
RIP.
I forgot all about speed racer, that show was a trip.

First dog was Slo Mo, was it not? Named after the Hydroplane Slo Motion (or so I thought)?
