I only saw it once or twice on a neighbor's tv because we didn't have a set of our own until 1956. I became a great fan of Sky King, RinTinTin and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Wow, talk about adventure.

I was in heaven when the Mickey Mouse Club came on! I knew every song, dance and cast member (Wasn't Cubby the cutest?!!) and wore my ears for at least 2 years. Then, puberty hit!!!

And, you are so right, LIEddie. It was a peaceful, happy time to be growing up. Today's children are not living in a very nice world. I pray for a better to come soon.

That one show(series) they had on the Mickey Mouse Club....."Pieces of eight". Or was that another show?
It was about a hidden chest full of gold coins.

But hell, don't take my word for it, I'm old now and an old mind can often play tricks on you...

Anyway, here's a little treat for some of us senior citizens:

I wasn't contradicting anyone. When I read "Ramar of the jungle. "George of the jungle" came to mind.

I remember our phone number that you told the operator ~~ 1168R. And we had a party line.

Later most people had CB radio's. Our call letters were KLN-1142.

Oh Mr. Pastry! Mr. Pastry! Yes, I do... you know, I probably haven't thought about Mr. Pastry since it was last on TV!

I also remember all the Watch with Mother shows on the BBC, aimed at the little kids. They ran for 15 minutes at 2pm. 'Picture Book' on Monday, 'Andy Pandy' on Tuesday, 'Bill and Ben' on Wednesday, 'Rag, Tag & Bobtail' on Thursday, and 'The Woodentops' on Friday.
