Boomer TV: A DVD You're Really Gonna Want
Here’s a real gen-u-ine treat for tv-obsessed boomers.
On May 6, Shout Factory is releasing “HiYa Kids!! A ‘50s Saturday Morning,” a 4-DVD set (retailing for $34.99) featuring 21 shows that we still remember well (even if we have no idea where we placed our reading glasses 15 minutes ago).
Just to name five: “Kukla, Fran & Ollie,” "Howdy Doody,” "Ding Dong School,” "Winky Dink & You” and “The Pinky Lee Show.” For a complete list shows, click here.
The set takes its name, of course, from Froggy the Gremlin’s greeting to Andy Devine each week on “Andy’s Gang" (which is another of the 21 shows in the collection).
While you’re waiting for the DVD to come out, check out this clip from this truly surrealistic kids’ show.
