The title of his Pittsburgh, Pa. based comedy/variety kids TV show was
"Adventuretime". On that show, Shannon played many comedic characters
and performed magic tricks (as his silent magician character: "The
Great Mysto"), worked with a loudmouth puppet character known as "Lippy
The Leprechan". Performed bizarre pantomime comedy skits as "Nosmo
King" (a wild looking hippie that sported a top coat, dark glasses, a
fedora hat, gloves and a beard), engaged his studio audiences and his
viewers in games, stories, craft making hobbies, informational segments
and interviews with guest performers, personalities and with kids in
the studio audience. Beginning at "The Holiday House Hotel and
Nightclub" in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh),
"Adventuretime" was patterned after WABD/WNEW/WNYW TV Ch. 5 NYC's
"Wonderama".
