What was your favorite (not animated) show when you were a kid?

[hollywood926]

Every time I see Morgan Freeman, I am reminded of The Electric Company, one of my faves as a kid. (Aging myself!)

1. Captain Kangaroo

[MuseRider]

2. Me too

I was just getting ready to post that. I LOVED the Captain and used to cry at the end of every year when he would say, "See you next year" because I could not understand that. Mr. Green Jeans was my favorite and I love Tom Terrific and Manfred the Wonder Dog.

5. I can't believe I left that out! Duuh! n/t

[yardwork]

18. Dancing Bear. Don't forget him. And making things with fasteners

[MuseRider]

21. And Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose and the ping

pong balls. Wasn't Michael Keaton once Dancing Bear or was that something on Mr. Rogers? Wasn't there a magic slate or something? That is kinda foggy in my mind. Yes, I loved Captain but had a crush on Mr. Green Jeans, he always had cool animals on.

Yes, Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo!

Remember Mr. Blue Jeans?

8. LOL - you're like me

"Something pre-1968 I've never heard of" and "Something post-1980 that I've never heard of." :D

BTW, I picked Sesame Street.

[Shopaholic]

9. It was the Captain for me

all the way.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Andy's Gang.

(Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy.)

And, of course, The Twilight Zone.

[hollywood926]

11. Do I want to know what "plunk your magic twanger? means?

Must have been before my time. :-)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Waaaaay before your time, I expect.

You would have had to be alive and sentient by 1960 to remember Froggy. But here's all the information you need:

[AngryAmish]

16. Run Joey Run

[AuntiBush]

19. Lost in Space!

Ok, I'm going to admit something in public here, don't laugh but as a little girl I had a mean-crush on Billy Mumy! Kinda sick, as I still think of him in a whimsical kind of way.

[MuseRider]

23. I could never laugh

at you because my very first little girl crush was on Alfalfa. OK, I am now going into isolation for a little while. He had such cute freckles.

[AuntiBush]

25. Thank you...

At least someone knows and understands. Don't ask about the Saturday morning (some years back) when Billy (all grown-up) was hosting an all day showing back-to-back reruns of LIS.

I don't believe I ever got off the couch that day! Blushing.

36. Won't you be my neighbor?

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

I loved Mr. Rogers.
