TV For Old People

kangarooReturn with us again to the 1950’s and a most momentous day: on this day in 1955 both Captain Kangaroo AND The Mickey Mouse Club premiered on TV, the first on CBS, the second on ABC. This must have presented quite a problem for children with no DVR or TiVo®.

Those of you of a certain age will certainly remember:

Monday – Fun With Music Day

Tuesday – Guest Star Day

Wednesday – Anything Can Happen Day

Thursday – Circus Day

Friday – Talent Round-Up Day

And we must revisit SCTV for “Captain Combat”

Also premiering on Oct. 3:

“Father Knows Best” (1954, CBS)

“The Andy Griffith Show” (1960, CBS)

“The Dick Van Dyke Show” (1961, CBS)
