* FakeInteractivity: Drawing on the screen didn't actually alter the outcome of the show, but did reveal some hidden content.

* MerchandiseDrivenMerchandiseDriven: The 50¢ overlay and crayons kits were integral to the show. Of course, some kids didn't bother with them and defaced their parents' expensive TV sets by drawing directly on the screen.

The series required the use of a clear plastic overlay and special crayons, which had to be ordered from New York at 50 cents per kit. Whenever the animated hero Winky Dink and his dog, Woofer, got into trouble, Barry would ask viewers to put the overlay on the TV screen and draw in the required prop or scene element, such as a bridge. The program ended with a secret message, which was to be traced by children who had the overlay and crayons. Inevitably, some children forwent the plastic overlay and drew directly on the screen... which exasperated parents who discovered crayon marks all over Walter Cronkite or LucilleBall.
