Thursday Thirteen: I Watched Way Too Much Television As A Kid

I like Pokey; Gumby, not so much.

"Fruit Juicy ... Fruit Juicy.  Hey!  How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?"
"Sure."
"BAM!"

"III'M COMIIIING BEANIE BOOOOY!"

Remember when the sugar content of breakfast cereals was trumpeted from the rooftops?

Ray-sins

Bonus round: anyone remember the name of Elsie's husband?

Half the fun of having feet is Manolo Blahnik Red Goose shoes.

A bit eerie ...

These two came as a team. /\ \/

Ahh -- Reddy Kilowatt was my childhood idol.

Buster's dog Tige looks a little bit crazed.

Ten points for Gryffindor if you can tell me what "ZIP" stands for, and no fair Googling.

Did your favorite make the list?

Visit FeeFiFoto and design a cotton canvas tote bag with a picture of Reddy Kilowatt, or your favorite cartoon character.

Reddy Kilowatt was kind of hot.

I like Gumby better. Pokey is a little bit snarky. My Mommie also remembers a cartoon called Winky Dink and You where you got to draw on the television set! (well, on a plastic screen).

Drawing on the TV screen? I don't remember that one but chances are that even if it was on when I was young my mother censored it. One of our favorite activities was melting crayons against hot light bulbs, so who knows what we would have done if encouraged to draw on the TV?

I loved Gumby and Pokey. I was always intrigued with the blockheads. LOL
I remember eating lunch (tuna sandwiches) and watching Beanie and Cecil before my nap.
Those were the days.
