Romper Room was too lame and to tame for me. Those kids never really "romped", did they? Captain Kangaroo was much cooler.
I just missed out on the whole Sesame Street thing. I was 10 when it premiered.

I was 6, Jon. BARELY too old. But I liked Electric Company. I watched Romper Room, but didn't love it. Captain Kangaroo was pretty great.

They never saw Karen.
I watched religiously every day, to see if they would see me at the end.
THEY NEVER DID.
They saw ANNIKA but they didn't see KAREN!
KAREN IS A NORMAL NAME!!
I resent the Romper Room.

I was ON romper room when I was either 4 or 6 (that was the 60s, remember)...and I made a complete fool of myself. I loved Captain Kangaroo though - he was sweet.

Remember, Rath - this was in Dayton Ohio - I think it was local to each region, with a different host on each version of the show - ours was Miss Jo...Romper Stomper Bomper Boo...

It was a franchise so they produced each show locally. In the New York area, they had Miss Louise for awhile. This was one of my shows!!!! If the Doo Bee had said to kill my parents, I would have done it. When it was snack time and Miss Louise told me to go get a snack, I raced to find the peanut butter jar. I had every product they ever made: the Romper Stompers, the punching balloon, all of them. And yes, I was frequently seen in the magic mirror because I wrote in all the time. What a lonely, pathetic life I had as a child.
But then I grew out of my Romper Room phase and into the "Wonderama" phase. Anyone ever remember Bob McAllister and Wonderama? He'd get up there and sing:
Oh have you heard any good news today, today
I want to hear what you have to say,
Wait 'til I get to the count of three
And tell me all the good news you have for me
1 - 2 - 3
Then he'd stick a microphone in some moronic kid's face and the kid would say: "My dog had puppies". I was just waiting for the time when one kid would say, "My grandmother died."
From the lame Wonderama show came another show called "Kids Are People, Too" All these kids woulds sit in the audience and sing this lame song that went "Kids are people, too. Whack a doo, whack a doo". (LOL, you can't make this stuff up).

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

ok - here's my Romper Room escapade (joeyjoe forced me to tell this)...it was a normal, pleasant experience for most of the children. But come Snack time, it went something like this: We all had to sit around this semicircular table facing the cameras and draw a picture. One at a time, Miss Jo would come around to each of us and ask us to hold up the drawing and describe it, then we would get milk and cookies.
"Suzy - what did you draw?"
"I Drew a Tree"
"Very nice!..Tommy - What did You Draw?"
"I Drew a firetruck!"
Very good! Stevie (ME) What did YOU Draw for us?"
"This is a picture of my grey-haired old mother and my sweaty Dad."
Stunned Silence....
(I always pictured my mother in the green room with all the other mothers restraining her as she prepared to come out and murder me...)LOL!
I SWEAR TO GOD that this is a true story.

Rath - my mouth got me in trouble ALL the time as a child (and quite often as an adult, I might add)...I was raised to be a little man - not a kid - my parents would throw parties and I'd be there in a little suit and bowtie, and once, around the same time as the Romper Room debacle, my mom was experiencing what was most likely PMS and ran out of the room crying (during the party) so, I turned to everyone and, trying to show off my command of the english language (HA!) I said to the circle of spectators: "Oh, don't mind her - she's just DEMONSTRATING again..."
Menstruating, - get it?...LOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
I can't believe my parents didn't kill me.
