The show, which aired for four years in the 1950s, has been cited as “the first interactive TV show,” especially in light of its “magic drawing screen” — basically, a piece of vinyl plastic that stuck to the TV screen, and on which kids (and, no doubt, some adults) would trace the action on the screen.
