My afterschool television as a child was Sesame Street - Mr Rogers - Electric Company. In the 70's.
Now I feel old.
**Hobbling along with my walker to join you*** my Mom told me that I learned how to read early thanks to Electric Company & Sesame Street. When I was a kid growing up in Oregon, we had friends from New York come to visit one summer. I was sooo excited - I thought they would take me to Sesame Street when I would ever get to visit NYC.

And Howdy Doody.

I remember watching Capt. Kangaroo, too. He was still on when I was a kid. Now there was a guy who could entertain kids. Hell, I still laugh when I see someone pull the old Ping Pong Ball gag.
The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

My mother and aunt once had Howdy Doody tell them on the air where their birthday presents were.

I used to get up early on Saturday just to watch Captain Kangaroo.
And after that it was Speed Racer.
Okay i'm getting flashbacks to both of those, now. I can't believe that I once looked *forward* to watching Speed Racer (and scooby-doo)...I had no taste x.x At least Scooby had the advantage of being camp/stoner comedy ~_~
The one I really wanted to be up early for was Robotech, tho it came along later.

They played the new Robotech episodes in the afternoon (too early, since it was hard to get home in time to catch them), and then again the next morning. I'd regularly get up early to watch those, too, as I'd end up missing the afternoon showing more often than not.
