No, you didn't just imagine this--I remember watching WINKY DINK when I was
about 5 (1955 or so).

It went off the air for two reasons--parents who *didn't* buy the plastic
got upset when their kids drew on the TV screens anyway, and everyone got
concerned that kids were sitting too close to those dangerous rays emitted from
the televisions.

(You'd draw things like a ladder to help Winky Dink rescue someone from a
burning building or something.)
