Blinky's Fun Club was a children's television program that aired on Channel 2 in Denver, Colorado from 1965 to 1998.

The star of Blinky's Fun Club was Blinky the Clown, played by Russell Scott. In the early 1980s additional characters began to appear regularly, including Otis and Zelda, played by husband and wife acting duo Michael Berg and C.J. Prince.

Children would appear on each show to celebrate their birthdays, and they would be treated to a special performance of "Happy Birthday to You," sung by Blinky himself.

Shows were taped at Channel 2's studios in Englewood, Colorado.

Over 10,000 episodes of Blinky's Fun Club aired during the show's three decades on the air. The station has reportedly saved tapes of only ten shows.

Channel 2's general manager Bill Ross cancelled Blinky's Fun Club in 1998.
