This was a sweet read with my first cup of coffee. I’m listening to the birds wake up, considering the word Sophrosyne and reminding myself that it’s Sunday.
Wandering down my own memory lane of shows watched as a kid. I remember the magic window from Captain Kangaroo, too many episodes of Popeye and the Mickey Mouse Club. It was on rerun on our local stations. My favorite after school show was Gilligan’s Island. I adamantly refused to go to dance class because I would have missed it! 🤣
I too would have remembered the body suit man as Mr. Goodbody. It was one of my favorite segments, second only to the moose dropping all the ping pong balls on Captain Kangaroo. The before and after school reruns were also favorites of my sister and I - Gilligan, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched. If the station changed the morning line up and we no longer got to see Gilligan while eating our breakfast before the bus came, we’d get so mad. Thankfully, they changed the line up a lot!
Those memories of bits of tv shows from when I was a kid are so magical! That song from Captain Kangaroo about all the things you can do (jumping, jogging, rocking, rolling, rowing…) just fills me with happiness when I hear it! (I found it on YouTube.) We didn’t have a tv until I was a teenager, but I remember during a time we were staying with my grandparents for a while who did have a tv, that song would always be playing when I was leaving for the school bus each morning. Somehow it made me feel like there was so much possibility in life and started my day on a positive note! I love the idea of incorporating these types of things into your illustrated journal.
black and white television was the babysitter of my youth, and i have a litany of remembered programming from the 50s and 60s.
in jr high i would dash home from school to watch ‘dark shadows’. my best friend and i were smitten fans of ‘the man from uncle’, forming our own neighborhood mystery-solving duo we called ‘the girls from auntie.’.
I used to watch Captain Kangaroo and Mr Ed, I Dream of Jeanie…. I gif to wondering this morning why he was even called that - I don’t remember any kangaroos…. Looked it up this morning and he apparently wore a jacket with really big pockets “reminiscent of a kangaroo’s pouch.”

It is Sunday, right?

youthful abandon, fondly remembered.
