    I don't believe Mickey Rooney was ever in any Bowery Boys or Dead End Kids movies. Rooney was in the Andy Hardy movie series.

    And by the way my sister's girl friend had a cousin that was the short smart alect tough guy in the Bowery Boys..can't remeber his name.

    Johnny Whittaker played Jody. That kid was in a lot of TV shows and movies. I think he did those Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn movies too.

    Let's not forget Davey and Goliath.

    Ahem. That was Johhny Whittaker. Sigmund was like CASPER "The Friendly Ghost". Which was a Cartoon, before the movie came out. Sigmund has these hateful cousins that didn't want him hanging out with Humans.
    Johnny Quest! With, "RACE Bannon", "Hajjii" and Dad. Professor Benton Quest! Micky Rooney my butt! Robert Blake was in the ORIGINAL "Our Gang"! Not "Seamonsters".
    "SEAMONKEYS"! They are a form of Shrimp.

    Vegas Matt,

    Not to pick nits, but you do realize that "The Dead End Kids" and the "Bowery Boys" were different from "Our Gang"? The Dead End Kids were "extras" in some old movies which I can't name at the moment. I think the "Bowery Boys" came later with most of the same characters in their own movies (may have been 1 reelers but I don't think so). They were teen agers.

    The "Our Gang" series were shorts about young kids. I don't think Blake was in the originals either. He came later along with Spanky and Alfalfa and Darla. The earlies had Fatty and some other characters and may have had a different name instead of "Our Gang".

    I have a DVD around somewhere with an early Our Gang...somewhere....

    Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcy[sp?} and the rest of he Dead-End Kids got there big break when they were cast as individual members of a teenage street gang in the late 1930s classic movie "Angels with Dirty Faces" staring Humprey Bogart, Pat O'Brian and Spencer Tracy. Which I believe was a Warner Brothers movie. Our Gang was completely different and was a Hal Roach creation.

    Gilligans Island

    was very deep. with echoes of John Locke and Frued

    Giligan, stranded on an island, He might choose between two girls, glamor or stability.

    The Rich were equal to the poor. The strong were equal to the weak.
    a primitive family type of socialism. All basic needs were provided by the natural world.

    With out the heavy hand of the authorities, people worked out thier diferences.

    Utopian. The Professor could invent any old shit to fit any situation.

    definitely influenced a hippie ethos.

    Green Acres is way cool to

    I still watch-em on Nicolodian.

    She packed my bags last night pre-flight
    Zero hour nine a.m.
    And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
    I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
    It’s lonely out in space
    On such a timeless flight

    And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
    Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I’m not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

    Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
    In fact it’s cold as hell
    And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
    And all this science I don’t understand
    It’s just my job five days a week
    A rocket man, a rocket man
    A rocket man, A rocketman

    And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...
    And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...;)

    Ha ha Matt!!! Yes, SeaMONKEY'S! Johnny Quest had a dog named Bandit and my oldest dogs' name is Bandit. Although, we named him after, "Smokey and the Bandit". My brother won't watch any Sally Field movies cuz he says he want's to always remember her young and riding in that TransAm. He's such a perv! I always will remember her in a white nun's habit flying through the sky. Remember, "The Flying Nun"??????

    The Little Rascals was the other "Our Gang". They were great.

    Funny how all the shows I liked back then I wouldn't like much now, like Jonny Quest, Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, Batman, Get Smart, Flipper...but the ones that haven't been in reruns for years (at least where I am) I could watch again: Love American Style, That Girl with Marlo Thomas, Beany and Cecil would take me back. I always liked Mary Tyler Moore too.

    Remember Jack LaLanne exercising? My mom always watched him (maybe she thought he was hot). Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans, always I Love Lucy. I kind of got mixed up as a kid, thought Lucy and Barbie dolls were modeled after my mom, or vice versa. Funny how kids think. I was pretty little then. Maybe it was the really red lipstick they all wore, and the hairstyles.

    My daughter used to have nightmares about Sleestaks (sp?), so my ex (then-wife) made her stop watching it.

    That one was almost as strange as HR Puffnstuff. I think the guy's name was Doug. I don't remember the names of the two women.

    They used to do this little jig and hop up and down and snap their fingers while saying "The House That Jack Built." (not to mention a lot of other things that didn't make any sense) :)

    It didn't have to make sense. That was the beauty of that show. To entertain children. Right after that, A show called "The Electric Company". Where some FAMOUS people got thier start! The purpose of THIS one was to begin to Educate them. That's about the time "Sesame Street" was born. IT chose to educate them at an earlier age.
    Guess which show is STILL on the air?
