Never saw Romper Room either

did watch my fair share of Captain Kangaroo though

wow , just googled it , Captain Kangaroo actually started the same year as the Mickey Mouse Club . 1955

had no idea , where the Mickey Mouse Club lasted like 3 years , Captain Kangaroo lasted almost 30 years , thats just crazy

I thought maybe the Mickey Mouse Club might have been one of the very first kids TV shows , which was why it was so ruff around the corners

but then I saw shows like Howdy Doody and Kukla Fran and Ollie had already been out for several years
