Most of you remember Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop.  My brother and I thought she was hilarious but we mostly knew her from her record albums we checked out of the library.

Lucky likes Lamb Chop too.  He has a 2 foot Lamb Chop that he plays with nightly.  So much so that I recently ordered a new Lamb Chop because the old one was dingy and had much stuffing removed by a little black dog.


I forgot how loyal dogs are--even to their toy friends.

Lucky loves playing with the new Lamb Chop but his old buddy is still his favorite.


My favorite show was Mighty Mouse.  I'm not even sure what I loved about that cartoon but I can still sing, "Here I come to save the day!  Mighty Mouse is on his way!"


We didn't have a color tv or cable when I was growing up.  My parents got both of those things after I had grown-up.  My grandfather did have a color tv and we got in trouble if we sat too close, did you?


What were you favorite tv shows when you were a kid?

Have a safe and happy day!

  1. No TV during the week. Only Sunday night Disney and Wild Kingdom. My kids have watched the shows such as Gilligan's Island and I don't have a clue! lol

  3. Mightly Mouse was one of my favorite too with Heckle and Jeckle. We had a little TV in a closet in the living room. My older sister and I were allowed to open the door and watch it early on Saturday morning with the head phones my dad had attached so we wouldn't wake them up. And yes, when we got the color TV we had to sit back away from it.

  4. We couldn't sit close to the TV because it would ruin our eyes. When I think about Mighty Mouse, I have visions of Andy Kaufman "singing" the theme song.
