Return 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)
