Get Smart and Married with a Witch... (don't know if that's the original name).
Ah, Bonanza too...

All that at black and white television. Much better than color tv. :)

I've seen parodies of the shoe phone; is Get Smart where it originates?

Never heard of this one (if that's what you meant).

Yep.
There's the theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO2w27z53_s).
If you had seen it, you'll understand why I have this idea about Americans... :)

Nope, that's a movie, what I mean was the tv series. I suppose with the same name.

Note that although I opened with a clip from Sesame Street, I didn't mean your favorite American television series. For instance, I also liked Calimero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT0Ij1GpdS4) (Italian; link to the Dutch dub I would've watched).

In that case, Les Galapiats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKeezqdWWW4), here translated for "The young vagabonds". A Belgium/French tv series.
Everybody was in love with blond Marian...

Then there's the german Sesame Street ( not the same as german dubbed US Sesame Street )
Also, more on topic, this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Sendung_mit_der_Maus) and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallo_Spencer).

Okay. Now I'm just feeling old!
Captain Kangaroo and The Three Stooges, in the morning. Peter Gunn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gunn) (original theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oysMt8iL9UE)) and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, in the evening — when I was allowed to stay up that late. And then there was The Outer Limits! (The Twilight Zone having led the way…) when I was older… :)

Captain Kangaroo

I don't know the show, but I know this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpzbMLDliyI). :P

I remember the song, too; from when it first came out… (45 years ago) :) And I still like it!

Only OakdaleFTL to attentively watch Hitchcock while small children...
A precocious and promising boy... just to end posting at D&D. Hitchcock is not happy with that... :)

While it wasn't strictly speaking my favourite childhood program, it was distinctly one of the more memorable.

Pompel & Pilt (first episode, subtitled of sorts)
