Although I much preferred his sidekick Mr. Green Jeans

And then, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Fury.

Anyone seeing the photos - I remembered Ollie instantly!

Whether original run, or syndication, idk.

with his side kick Captain Windy.

and hooked it up in time to watch "flash gordon."

i would have been like 2 in 1954so it must have been a rerun.

I don’t recall which came first but my favorite was Sandy Becker. He drew a cartoon character every show and came on early in the day, maybe 9 am. It might have been a regional NY show.

lived with my widowed Grandma until I was 6. An Aunt and two Uncles lived there too. So surrounded by adults 🙂.

The BBC rules!

Liked Mr Greenjeans better, too

was Clara the Clown on Howdi Doodi...

My folks always said TV would rot our brains. Little did they know the internet would be right around the corner.

Hard to remember at age 3 or 4.

My dad liked Gallant Men and most music shows.

I liked The Little Rascals, Ghoulardi, and all music shows, like Ed Sullivan.

Most people probably know that. My brothers and cousins loved that show. It was legendary in Cleveland.

Ah one and ah two.

and Captain Kangaroo.

Ding Dong School with Miss Frances.

in England

Ding Dong School was also a very early one. '=
We did not watch Romper Room

Some families did not have TVs yet at the time. So neighborhood kids came to our house to watch. We sat on the floor, and my mother brought us snacks.

The TV was a floor model with a small screen that took up about only one quarter of the whole TV. Only black and white, of course.

1957 ish Boulder, Colorado...

I don't know if he was just local to the Detroit area or not?

He was initially on local TV. He was a neighbor (7 Mile and Meyers) and we would see him in the market occasionally. Starting in 1953 he had a noontime show on WXYZ called Lunch with Soupy Sales.

"Up in the air, junior birdbaths!"

"If you can't make both ends meet, make one vegetable!"

"Hey kids! What word starts with the letter F and ends with uck? That's right - firetruck!"

I don't remember, but it was either that or Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

I think it was out of Boston and we lived in Lexington.

They had a character called Rootin Tootin Snortin Norton!

On a Cleveland, Oh. station. It was probably a 15 or 30 minute show. I liked Captain Penny. He was dressed as a train engineer. He'd talk a little and then show a cartoon. I remember seeing black and white Krazy Kat cartoons. I remember watching other shows as I got older.

where he’d show off dogs up for adoption at the Animal Protective League.

Do you remember Barnaby, Marthe? “Hi, Neighbor!”

I remember the noon news, Capt. Penny and then Dorothy Fuldheim, a very early talk show. Ans she was a pioneer in newscasting.
I remember Barnaby, and Woodrow the Woodman, who took his place.
Do you remember Mr. Jingaling?

Mr. Jingaling was on Halle’s Seventh Floor! My parents took me and my sister there a few times at Christmas.

My mother liked to watch Dorothy Fuldheim’s show.

did.

(I think it came on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m.)

and Mr Green Jeans.
I'm pretty sure that Wonderful World of Disney is second on that list.

Probably Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Felix the Cat, Little Lulu cartoon wise.

Having looked some stuff up but didn't find - I remember a children's game show where; you know a physical game board with a "wiggly" drawn path you move your pieces on - well, I remember a wiggly path on the floor of the show that kids moved around on. Have no idea otherwise about it.

Loved it. I grew up in Texas. But when we moved to Arizona, we toured the "Old Tucson" filming location and theme park. I recognized a number of the landscapes in the opening montage.
