Both of the clan was most popular before I was even born. How were since I was primarily raised by my grandparents I know who he is. I was going through stories on my Google homepage, and this story about him passing was on the list. I'm sure there are plenty of people hear that remember him in his prime. Rest in peace..

I remember watching him when I was a kid. We didn't have all the high tech stuff...television was pretty tame back in the 50's.

He wasn't lame if you enjoyed watching him. I remember when I was younger they brought back Captain Kangaroo which as you probably know was super popular for prior Generations. I remember when I was little there was a show called The Ramblin Rod show and looking back it was probably the silliest show ever but I loved it when I was little.

@thislittlepennyearns I was more into the Mickey Mouse Club. I wasn't much into Captain Kangaroo. The local channel had a program with a duck the guy had named Webster Webfoot. I hated the show and of course my elementary school set up as a special treat for the students that the man and his puppet do a special show. I remember it well because the show was awful. That and we were ordered to line up and we would get an autographed picture of the man and his duck. To get the picture we had to kiss the duck. It wasn't fun! Oh, and the man told us how he cut off the ends of three fingers when he stuck them under the power mower while it was running. Being the brat I was I told the guy "Big deal, my father stuck his fingers under the mower while it was running, only he didn't cut off the ends of his fingers!". It took some of the wind out of the guy's sails. We only had 3 television stations when I was growing up. Fortunately the Mickey Mouse Club was on one of the stronger stations. The biggest treat for me was my parents taking us to Disneyland when I was 6.

I vaguely remember Bozo the Clown, but I don't think I ever watched him on TV.

@thislittlepennyearns Neither am I. It's like they're working too hard to be funny. One clown I did like was Emmet Kelly. It's like it came naturally to him.

I don't remember this Bozo as there were several who played the character over the years. I remember Bob Bell who portrayed Bozo on the WGn network. Frank was better known in the Boston market area

@Courage7 I've seen a couple episodes. But since it was way before my time all I've seen for the majority is on YouTube and another clip shows.
