Old Kids' Programming

Tweet

Regardless of how old you are, I know that you had certain kids' shows that you watched growing up. We only had 3 channels; but there was a good variety of children's programming to be watched. I remember when I was quite small watching "Lunch With Soupy Sales" (1953-1966). "Winky Dink and You" (1953-1957) was a show that you could interact with using a "magic drawing screen" which was a piece of vinyl which was placed over the television screen. At various times you would be asked to draw in an object to complete a scene. The screen and crayons could be purchased for $.50. Other programs and characters that I remember: Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, Romper Room School, Mickey Mouse Club, Three Stooges, Mr. Magoo cartoons, Tom & Jerry cartoons, Bugs Bunny cartoons, Walt Disney, Road Runner cartoons and more.
