A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi Ho Silver" Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone Ranger rides again!

What time is it kids? It's Howdy Doody Time!!

Romper bomper stomper boo! (Romper Room with Miss Arlene, the original)

Three alternating Sunday night westerns: Maverick, Cheyenne, Sugarfoot

Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) in "Wanted: Dead or Alive"

And the original tear jerker game show "Queen for a Day"

I got 14/15. I knew who Satchmo was, but could not remember his name. That was a good list.

^IDTANDY, that's good. And I'll mention that Bob Keeshan played in both of the children's shows we alluded to- Captain Kangaroo and Howdy Doody.

He was in the Marine Corps. When he got out he worked at NBC where he portrayed Clarabelle the Clown on Howdy Doody. In 1955, he created Captain Kangaroo, where he taught us tykes of the '50s manners and deportment in a gentle way. He won 6 Emmys, 3 Peabodys and was elected to the Clown Hall of Fame. He died in 2004 in Vermont. All of this courtesy of the IMDb.

I miss him and Hugh Brannum (Mister Green Jeans).

I watched Captin Kangaroo most every day growing up. Mighty mouse was one of my favorite cartoons, along with Bugs Bunny.
