Another one before my time, but my father remembered it. Had to look up the dog's name though.

That's an early Captain Kangaroo.

Not his first foray into children's television. He was the original Clarabell the Clown on The Howdy Doody Show.

^^^ And here I thought Thurston Howell the third was born old... :D :O:

I resemble that remark!

Osmium Steele 08-25-11 08:24 AM

And the name of the series was I Married Joan.

Now, the other two are going to be tougher...

Is photo #3 The Gale Storm Show? It definitely looks like Gale Storm, but I don't remember anything like that in My Little Margie.

Right show and star; but. can you name the other person in the photo (who was one of the great character actors of film and television)?...

Osmium Steele 08-25-11 12:37 PM

Is #2 Ann Sothern? If so, that would make it either the Ann Sothern Show or Susie. Originally titled Private Secretary.

I'm beginning to think I watched WAY too much tv as a kid.

#2 is indeed Ann Sothern and the show was the "Ann Sothern Show"... :yeah:

I, too, have come to realize I watched (and, more remarkably, remember) far more TV than I once thought. At least the shows (and stars) were memorable; that can't be said for a lot of the shows in recent years...

Jimbuna 08-25-11 05:36 PM

Well #3 is a young Judie Garland but I don't recognise the show.

vienna 08-25-11 06:14 PM

Sorry, Jimbuna, it is not Judy Garland; Osmium Steele gave the correct answer a couple of posts above (Gale Storm Show)...

Reece 08-25-11 06:28 PM

Here is another of those old shows I watched as a youngster:
This might be hard!:O:

Sailor Steve 08-25-11 07:08 PM

Is that John Forsythe? Bachelor Father?

Reece 08-25-11 07:32 PM

:yeah: You are correct, here is another memorable pic:

Sailor Steve 08-25-11 10:13 PM

I couldn't find an actual shot from the show with both lead actors, but this was a favorite of mine, partly because my stepmother's uncle was head prop man on the show and I got to watch an episode being filmed and meet both the stars.
