Heck yes. I can also remember Andy Devine's "Andy's Gang" (sponsored by Buster Brown and Red Goose Shoe brands) as well as "The Howdy Doody Show" and even "Kookla, Fran, and Ollie." Was it Buster Brown shoe stores that had that machine that you could look down thru and see the bones in your feet? Wounder how many rads you got with that.....thought it was cool back then tho'.... Yup - pretty sure it was Buster Brown....Remember the machine, too! COOL! Had kids, so the radiation didn't get all the way to the boys...

Dancing Bear. Cosmo Alegretti (?) Was the man in the bear suit. He just passed away last summer. Probably the last of the Capt. K. actors.
Never appeal to a mans "better side", he may not have one.

Yea man, I thought is was weird how the brand new tenner shoes made my feet burn. Those things were in a lot of stores back then. Those in store x-ray machines could let you see your toe bones plumb through those rubber covered tenner toes.

How about Henry Aldrich on the radio?
Any time we had enough wind to spin the wind charger to charge the battery in the old Philco, we could listen to that show plus a few others.
Amos and Andy was our favorite, I think.

I remember Capt. Kangaroo and then there was the Local Ranger Andy on Channel 3 WTIC before it became WFSB. Part of the CBS network. Stopped watching pretty much the News since its pretty much communist. Didn't loose much. On the other hand The Capt was fun to watch, when I was a 6 year old. Then their was Sharrie Lewis and Lamb Chop before PBS. I didn't watch much TV since it interfered with Outside time. I spent more time in the woods than most. I had a lot of woodland to play in. found some good fishing holes along the way too.

I watched the show some, but my more favorite shows were Seahunt, Flicka, The Cisco Kid, and Gunsmoke, of course!

Yep. As a kid there wasn't TV. I remember sitting in front of the Motorola radio on Saturday mornings & listening to the adventurers of Sky King, Hoppalong Cassidy, & the Lone Ranger. Kids actually played outside in those days & were perfectly safe. When we got our first TV I remember watching Its Howdy Dooty Time. Crusader Rabbit was also one of my favorite cartoons. The kids in my neighborhood used to chant- he's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's Crusader Rabbit.
