6. Andy Devine's eyebrows scared me.
Froggy looked kinda evil too.

Local TV played the reruns after school on weekdays along with 'The Little Rascals'.......seems like another lifetime.

One of my favorite 'Twilight Zone' episodes starred Andy Devine as the local gasbag who has a most excellent adventure with space aliens.

12. Okay, here's my trivia question
What OTHER show was Andy Devine on in the 1950s? (He had a recurring, supporting role in this series.)

17. "Hey Wild Bill!! .............. Wait for me!!"
Andy would shout at the beginning of each show. I watched it regularly. And I remeber it was sponsored by Sugar Corn Pops. I believe Wild Bill and Andy were on the box.

18. Thought that was Smiling Ed McConnell's show...
buster brown yes...tige...yes...magic twanger yes and the fluroscope where you could radiate your feet. And of course Froggie.

Those shows were better than anything on tv. Lets Pretend...etc.

...and for the older kids...Hawthorne's show with all the nutty music...Hawthorne was reincarnated as Dr Demento.
