Sure. Tom Terrific and Mighty Dog Manfred. Tom's hat was an inverted coronet and he would take it off and play it. Mr. Wizard was on NBC and his name was Don Herbert. Crusador Rabbit's pal was Rags the tiger.

I watched Howdy Doody every day on NBC. His sister was Judy Doody. His best friend was Dilly Dally and there was a weird animal named Flub-A-Dub. The villian (and mayor of Doodyville) was Phineas T. Bluster.

Live characters included the host, Buffalo Bob Smith, Chief Thunderthud, Princess Summerfallwinterspring and, of course, Clarabell the Clown - played by Willard Scott!

Wonder Bread ("Helps build strong bodies 8 ways" - later changed to "12 ways") and Hostess Cupcakes were the sponsors and the kids sat in the Peanut Gallery.

Did you watch Rootie Kazootie with Polka Dottie and Galapoochie Pup? Or how about Winky Dink - the first interactive television program, hosted by Jack Barry?

You want any more? Bring it on.

As my long-suffering wife says - my head is filled with crap.

No comment, Juulie.

Hey - didn't this used to be a basketball board or something?
