I can't believe no one has mentioned "Andy's Gang" (brought to you by scotch brand cellophane tape). In my neighborhood, on Saturday morning at 10am the streets would empty out because the Howdy Doody Show was on.

I just remembered Wagon Train with Ward Bond and when he was gone they thought the show was going to end but John McIntire carried on admirably.

I led 3 lives!!!...I thought that I was the ONLY living person to remember that show. I was infatuated with it as a kid! I was able to buy 3 episodes on VHS from an ebay seller. The quality was poor but I've watched them over and over many times. My friends wanted to be doctors or firemen...I wanted to become a counter-spy.
