Captain Kangaroo. Does Anyone Know About Him?

I don't remember that painter. We want Mr. Green Jeans!

Ah, here he is.

Ren and Stimpy were from the same time period, before a time they would be found acceptable....look at this pic Slowwhand, sures favors the cartoon, eh?

I grew up with a choice between Captain Kangaroo and a local show called Hotel Balderdash. Hotel Balderdash won hands down because they ran old Warner Bros. cartoons.

ACK!

Old Warner Bros. Cartoons were always preferred.
Another big thing was the Sunday morning old sci-fi serials. Flash Gordon and Commander Cody.

I went to a Howdy Doody show, it was filmed in south Florida.

Best weekday morning with cereal before school cartoon: Star Blazers.

Best Saturday morning cartoon: Dungeons and Dragons.

The current Utah Fox affiliate began in the late '70's as an independent station. It had a show on after school that played the old Flash Gordon serials.

It was awesome.

They also showed Benny Hill and every once in a while they would miss editing out the bare boobs.

They played all the Hammer Dracula movies on Saturday afternoon also. They also had a Canadian show called Wayne and Shuster that was pretty funny, IIRC.

ACK!

I remember watching Benny Hill as a kid, eagerly awaiting the boob flash.

che and I used to watch Star Blazers every morning. We had to get up at 6 am to watch it.

Also the Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s had the Flash Gordon cartoon.

Watching cartoons in the 60 was a lot more fun due to the lack of regulating commercials.
WHile I don't remember any booze ads, you could count on ads for toys, sugar, and cigarettes.

Do you remember My Mother The Car, The Lieutenant and Johnny Yuma?
I remember those you listed and these as well. Bonanza at 8:00 pm on Sunday night.

My Mother the Car was in the 60's, as was The Lieutenant. I remember Johnny Yuma, Paladin, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Yanci Derringer, The Rifleman, Rawhide, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and The Roy Roger Show. The Cisco Kid was before my time.

No, it was not. Maybe. I know I saw it. Maybe it was reruns. "Ooh, Ceesco."

[rah]

The original run was 1950-1956 so I saw them in reruns in the 60s also.
