"The Bean's Clubhouse" was a hosted children's show with host Arthur E. Churvis (Bud Chase) as "The Bean". The show ran Monday-Friday afternoons on WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA from 1955-1959. "The Bean" dressed in ragged clothes and initially wearing dirt smudges on his face. Around 1957, "The Bean" moved into an "Underground Clubhouse", which he entered via a basement window. "The Bean" screened Laurel and Hardy shorts, Crusader Rabbit and "Jim and Judy in Teleland" cartoons, and a series called "The Chimps", which featured monkeys in Sherlock Holmes-type costumes.—The Professor
