The kids who watched it bought a plastic screen which they attach to the TV screen. This was so that whenver W.D. and his dog got into a peck of trouble, you could save him (oh no! winky dink will fall if you don't draw in a rope! they would then place a bunch of dotted lines where the kids where to draw the brige or whatever). Upon returning from the commercial, W.D. was saved! For those of us who didn't have a magic screen, the normal screen and a box of crayolas worked just fine (much to the anger of our parents!)
