Thank you so much for “Andy’s Gang!” You brought tears to the eyes of this 72 year old. And yes, I sang right along with the theme and remembered every word. To see Midnight and Froggie again… Thank you, thank you.

I felt the same finding an episode of Captain Kangaroo from around 1968 that I clearly remember. The show was never run in repeats, and it was weird watching something from when I was 4 or 5 at the time.

@@chuggachuggawoowoo He definitely creates memorable characters! And he really made the most out of his screen time in the GF! Two tests to prove how good he was in the GF: 1) imagine Coppola is telling you what the scene is about, now do your own version of the scene. 2) Try to duplicate the scene exactly as Vito Scotti played it. You'll realize pretty damn quickly how good Scotti really is. And if someone doesn't think that's a fair test because you're not an actor, ask someone who is and get them to do it. Whomever it is that takes up the challenge, I can guarantee that they'll fail.

Andy's gang, was my favorite Saturday morning TV, broadcast. I really enjoyed all the various characters, I never forgot Andy Devine's voice. Kids at the time like myself always look forward to Andy's gang, and listening to his stories. Kids today have no idea what they are missing with broadcast shows like this. Thank you for posting, these clips. Today is April 5th, 2023

At 5, this is how I learned about India. I just found this yesterday. I’m in India this month visiting my wife’s family. I was stunned to recognize both palaces. I’m there in Mysore and was at the palace earlier this week. The other palace is outside the city, and yes - there are leopards there, but it’s rare to see one. I’m flabbergasted at this coincidence.

The Milky Way Machine's sounds are borrowed from the film "The Man In The White Suit", a 1951 British picture starring Alec Guinness and Joan Greenwood. The tale of an eccentric inventor who thinks he's perfected a permanent, stain-proof cloth. The sound effects in his chemistry lab are hilarious - and the Milky Way ad agency stole 'em!

3:55. A kid with an assault rifle, blasting away! Sound familiar? I'm watching this a week after the Georgia school shooting. Now....where does a little boy get the idea to carry around an assault rifle, and blast away? At least the shooter in the Georgian school didn't have full auto on his gun. But wait, there's always 'BUMP STOCKS'! Maybe next time.

@@AutomaticSelector I always hated what was done to Midnight, the cat. They had him rigged up in levers that would make him move in weird ways which the kids thought was really funny.
