Re: Sad day in Kidville

Yes, I remember them and was shocked when I found out Captain Kangaroo was

only 28 years old when he first started as that character! He had a great

makeup job. Actually I go back to Howdy Doody and Kookla, Fran, and Ollie

(sp?) and days

even before TV - the dark ages! -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE send a blank

We didn't have Mr. when I was a kid, but we had Captain Kangaroo and

Mr. Green Jeans. Anyone remember them?!

Oh and the Romper Room! One always wanted to be a " do-bee! "

Yes, I remember shari lewis and the lamb. In fact, I recently bought four of the

lamb puppets in different sizes. I love to collect stuffed animals and dolls.

Sure do remember Shari and Lamb Chop. )

Can't remember one with a clown though...not a particular clown anyway. Now

that I'm grown and have read King, I always think of the evil clown

Pennyworth when someone says clown. <shiver>

Re: Sad day in Kidville

I remember watching Mr. with my kids. It's a very sad day. Now there's

someone who really made a difference didn't he?

I remember Romper Room from my childhood and also Ding Dong School, which may

have been a local thing. Anybody remember Shari and her puppets? I had a

set of those puppets and I just loved Lamp Chop

[Guest guest]

New Zoo Revue was another favorite of mine.

Bozo was fun. I liked the Grand Prize Game. )

Re: Sad day in Kidville

The only clown I remember is Bozo.

I grew up south of Chicago and we had Captain Kangaroo and Bozo. I loved

Bozo and I when I got to go see the show as a chaperone when my daughter was

in third grade I think I was more excited than the kids were! Cookie was

even there. I remember Romper Room, but I think my sister, a few years

younger than me, watched it more than I did. I do remember those big upside

down cup things attached with a string that were for walking on, and I

remember really wanting some of those.

I also liked watching Ray Raynor (sp?) and Garfield Goose. Does anybody

remember them? I was really excited this year when WGN played Suzy Snowflake

and Hardrock, Coco, and Joe at Christmastime.

, I doubt that you are the oldest. Unfortunately I lived in a smaller town

and we only had one station when I was young, so I don't remember as many as

everyone else. Or at least don't remember watching them as much. I remember

Shari from when she was on Ed Sullivan. I also remember Clarabell, was

she on Howdy-Doody? The name Princess Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring sounds

familiar, but not sure.

, You'll love this quote from my mom. My older sister asked her one day,

" Mom, what did you do when you were a kid and there wasn't any TV. " Mom just

looked at her and said, " Niki, what did you do when you were a kid and there

wasn't any TV. " We didn't get a TV until I was about 3 or 4. So Niki would

have been in 2nd or 3rd grade by then. I always laugh when I remember that

question and Mom still remembers that conversation. Margaret

I remember Clarabell the clown and Princess Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring -

anyone else out there? Am I the oldest person on this list?

Yep, he sure did a lot for kids. I didn't watch him much as a kid, but my kids

watch him now. Did you ever go to Idlewild park in Ligonier? It's an amusement

park about a half hour from here, near where Mr.

was born (in Latrobe, PA). They have a whole section devoted to him, where you

ride a trolley around in the Neighborhood of Make Believe. They have life-sized

mechanical puppets. My kids love it.

I remember watching Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo. I didn't care for Shari

and the puppets.

I forgot about that one! I had a New Zoo Revue bookbag. It was the kind like a

satchel, before they had backpacks.

Our TV station here in PA shows Suzy Snowflake, Hard Rock, Coco and Joe, and

Frosty every Christmas season. They've had so many requests that they now put

the schedule of when they will be aired on their Web site, and they put them on

a special. You could even see them on their web site.

Wow.. there's a place I haven't heard in years! Yes, I was born and raised

in stown, PA and remember going to Idlewild Park as a kid, but that was

before Mr. came on the scene.

My mother and sister still live in stown, and I seem to recall my mother

telling me about the Mr. area there.

These kids would really benefit if that put Schoolhouse Rock back on the air

on Saturday mornings.

Anyone from New England remember Big Brother Bob Emery? That happened to be

a local show and my father's name was Bob Emery, so we got more phone calls

than I care to remember!

Ahh.. I remember Suzy Snowflake and Hardrock and Coco and Joe.. awwww

At one point my sister (who is a children's librarian) gave me the web address

several Christmases ago for the local (to stown) TV station that was playing

those and you could watch them from the web. I was shocked when she did that

because my sister, who is older, absolutely hates computers and anything to do

with them, even though she is required to know about them for her job. She

definitely prefers books.

I think I vaguely remember my kids watching that. I always really enjoyed

Schoolhouse Rock. I remember they played them so often we all sang along with

them. I still remember bits and pieces of the one that taught about the ly

endings.

I do believe they are bringing that back this year. I recently saw an

article about it.

Depends on how old you are. If you're closing in on geezerhood (as am I),

it could be Winky Dink and You. Jack Barry and the mystery of the day, in

which you had to draw a picture to help Winky Dink out of a tight spot. My

mama was too tight with $$ to let me blow $1 on the kit, so I had to

pretend to draw.
