Does ANYONE remember a time before Sesame Street?
A time when Men were clowns, and women were hobos, little Mischief Makers dreamed of being seen in a Magic Mirror, having a moose for a pet, riding in the Bozobile, and were people, too...wacka-doo, wacka-doo, wacka-doo! :-D
I am grateful for a childhood that included Romper Room, Bozo the Clown, Capt. Kangaroo, Hobo Kelly, and Wonderama.
No wonder I turned out the way I have, peculiar sense of humor, creative writing talent, and all. :-D
Sit back, relax, and remember your childhood, or that of your children, watching these shows, having good old fashioned fun and learning so much that a classroom education couldn't teach, including, in my case a love of books, among so many other things.

Yikes! I'm sorry, I am dating myself, here. None of the shows you mentioned were a part of my childhood. I grew up watching Scooby Doo and the Smurfs and yes, Sesame Street and the Electric Company. Fond memories of children's shows!

Loved the original Scooby Doo series, as well as the original, longer, cartoon movies, and found the live action films to be the perfect homage.
I also grew up watching the various Bugs Bunny Show" incarnations that showed on Saturday, or Sunday mornings, for 60 min.- 2 hrs., that hat original skits on a stage, and showed the classic WB & Looney Tunes cartoons. :-D
Also watched H. R. Stuff N Puff, and Land of the Lost, for crying out loud! :-D
