One of my earliest memories is watching a film strip of "Charlie Chan and the Chan Clan" on my neighbour's basement wall, it's a pretty happy one. I'm surprised I haven't got a large collection of "Give A Show" projectors as a result..

My foster sister got one of these for Christmas in 1974, (and it was left behind when she went back to Africa). It was fun, but really hard to load the film and my older brother got sick of us asking him to help us w/ it, so after a while, it just sat in the box until it was donated to charity. BTW...the films were Archies, Josie & The Pussycats and The Harlem Globetrotters cartoon."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

Oh, and the Give-A-Show has filmstrips. This is called the Easy-Show projector, but as I've already said, there was nothing "easy" about it.

I had a Fisher-Price projector that could be put on a wall or shown on a small screen, and it had plastic cartridges with cartoons. I remember having several Disney and WB cartoons for it.Hugh H. Davis

I always wanted one of these things, along with the talking viewmaster, but never got them.JediJaidaComment

I didn't have one either, but my neighbor did. I had the Fischer Price hand viewer, of course.
And I also believe we see the Give-a-Show (or it's nearest available non-union Mexican equivalent) during the Boomerang channel's "Groovies" interludes.Comment

I was lucky enough to have this when I was a kid. Went through quite a lot of Peanuts cartridges.
It's all good!Comment
