There was another kid show on Channel 7, "Mary Jane and Melvin", that starred a young woman and a talking giraffe. When she and the giraffe left the show, she told the viewers that a very nice man named Charlie Baxter and a talking moose named Willie would soon be appearing on Channel 7 on week-day afternoons - "Bozo's Buddies!". Later the show would change name to "Willie The Moose and Charlie".
