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.) Evelyn C.
