Sesame Street - Monsterpiece Theater "Waiting for Elmo"

What's your favorite childhood television show, and is it available on the Intertubes?


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. :)
A matter of attitude.

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


Yep.
There's the theme.
If you had seen it, you'll understand why I have this idea about Americans... :)

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

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

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 (Italian; link to the Dutch dub I would've watched).

In that case, Les Galapiats, here translated for "The young vagabonds". A Belgium/French tv series.
Everybody was in love with blond Marian...
A matter of attitude.

Okay. Now I'm just feeling old!
Captain Kangaroo and The Three Stooges, in the morning. Peter Gunn (original theme) 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… :)

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

...and Alfred Hitchcock Presents

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)
