Crabby Appleton -  which was also the name of some rock group.
For some reason it seems he had a funnel on his head that was special,
but perhaps it was really the Tin Woodsman of Oz.

Then there was Manfred the Wonderdog. Also, didn't Tom Terrific have that
gimmick with a clean plastic sheet you put on the TV, and they showed you some
lines on the TV that you traced? Then they showed some more lines, and if you
were *privleged* enough to have this Tom Terrific decoder sheet, you would
get a *special* clue to how TT would get out of a jam?

BTW what year was Tom Terrific shown?
This was my earliest memory of TV. My facts may be fuzzy.
