Why Romper Room might be annoying:

    What the hell is a Romper?
    Mary Ann, the hostess, would yell at the children to clean up their toys during the show.
    At the end of every show, Mary Ann talked into the 'magic mirror' asking the viewers to join her, saying the following: 'Romper Bomper Stomper Boo, Tell me, Tell me Tell me Do....Magic Mirror, tell me today, are all my friends at home at play?' (then she would mention every child in the Romper Room name).
    Every hostess was a female teacher.
    Parents got mad because their children became destructive at home with their Romper Room punch balloon toy.
    The children would play in the Romper Room in their finest clothes.
    There were two bee drawings, in which children were told to follow the 'Do Bee' and not the 'Don't Bee.' This begs the question why marijuana is sometimes called a 'doobie?'

Why Romper Room might not be annoying:

    Romper Room had the greatest toys.
    Romper Room was one of the first reality tv shows.
    Romper Room taught viewers the value of sharing toys.
