BRUCE SEDLEY is probably best remembered for his popular children’s programs, as Skipper Sedley host of “The Popeye Show” (KRON, 1957), and as Sir Sedley, who—with his puppets—hosted the “New Three Stooges” (KTVU, 1962-64). His mark was really made as the inventor of the Talking Storybooks with the Magic Keys, first utilized at Children’s Fairyland in Oakland. Current versions of the Storybooks, using computer chips and special cardkeys, are now in use all over the world, at zoos, art exhibits, conventions and similar locales. Bruce is a real innovator.
