When Tee Vee Humphrey was in the fifth grade, he decided it was about time he got in television. So he went right down to local station WHAT and accepted a job as errand boy. Naturally Tee Vee didn't stop there. It wasn't long before he was on The Animal Shop program with real live animals.  Tee Vee worked very hard to sell lots of Dogs Love It dog food for the sponsors, especially after Fay came down with the measles an hour before show time and Mr. Gompton was bitten by a monkey and had to go to the hospital. Oh, Tee Vee made a few mistakes to be sure, but all was forgiven when it was discovered that the viewers were completely on his side. (#000065)
