Captain Kangaroo, Mister Rogers, Henrietta the Hippo, Sesame Street, Barney, Telly Tubby....or others.

This might be showing your age but.

...

What TV primer did you grow up on?

And what was your favorite song or character from that program?

Sesame street .... We have different names for dem in Dutch I think...
I'd say Bert & Ernie would be my favorites

I would also look at the "Troetel Beertjes".. Care Bears...

Telly Tubby's are defenit gay!!

LOL @ telly tubbys.

I was a Sesame Street kid too.
I loved Earnie, Bert, Grover, Big Bird and the Cookie Monster.
My favorites though were the "Count" and Oscar the Grouch.

We also had a local (Jamaican) fun and games program known as "Ring-Ding".

I watched Captain Kangeroo too . . . but I loved Mr. Greenjeans!

I also watched Romper Room, and when Miss Kate would look into her magic mirror (a hand-held mirror with the glass taken out), she would say: "I see David. I see Kathy. I see Benjamin . . . and I see Kelly." When she said "Kelly" -- I KNEW she could see ME!

Yeah, Romper Room!

We had a local version as well.

Gosh! I had totally forgotten about that one.

Big daddy told me Captain Kangeroo is irritating.. Just like Barney.... I worked at a photoshop once.. they made me dress up like Barney to take pics with a little brat!! OMG I was 8 weeks pregnant and sweatin my @ss off in that suit... What a nightmare!!! Well the kid had fun.. He kept singing.. I love you... you love me.. Eventhough the kid was horribly spoiled.. the outcome was beautiful and worth all of my sweatin'. There was NO pic at all of him smiling at the camera... Only pics of him lookin at my big Barney head full of amazement!!!

This was my favorite song from Sesame Street.
I think it was "Susan" that would sing it:

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

My mom would sing that, to get me to sleep.
