Great remembering, Richard, on the words to the Davy Crockett song. We sang that all the time. When our parents weren't in the room we added "Davy, hic, Davy Crockett..." As eight year olds, we thought that was very risque and hilarious. I had a Davy Crockett lunch box and Davy Crockett ankle socks in the second grade. They were the best.
I remember Sky King and his neice, Penny. They were westerners in an airplane. Lots of adventures like somehow seeding clouds to rain. Also, Hop Along Cassidy and The Lone Ranger were great shows. Monte Montana was a rather famous cowboy in the 50's. He came to Beachy Avenue Elementary School with his horse and did a stunt show for us when I was in second grade. That was exciting.
My brother and I really liked the Rifleman. I saw Chuck Connors in a little store near the Salton Sea on our way home from a camping trip. My brother was very upset that he hadn't seen him, too. (That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. )
In junior high, Soupy Sales was the show to watch after school. His nonverbal but expressive puppets, White Fang and Black Tooth, were very funny to us.
My youngest grandson still watches some good shows on PBS Kids. He has learned some helpful lessons from Mr. Roger's updated and animated Daniel Tiger. I hear him reassure himself when his mommy leaves by singing, "Adults come back." Very sweet and comforting messages.
