I too watched it as a young tike in the early 70’s.
It was not nearly as corrosive as it is today.

Of course it could not match the attraction to me of more adult fare like Star Trek, Green Acres and Hogan’s Heroes.

My mother used to put us to bed early. I would be in bed and the trumpet charge announcing F-Troop would play. Me and my sister are still laughing at 8:00. They’d be telling us to go to sleep. Who can sleep with the cannon knocking the tower over?

For a real treat you have to get the DVD of "Classic Sesame Street" from Netflix. It is SO different from today. In fact it shows really irresponsible things, like a little girl meeting Gordon on the street, and Gordon takes her home, for "milk and cookies". They also show a clip of children playing all over an unattended construction site.

The DVD has a disclaimer at the beginning saying: "This program is for historical purposes only." Still brought back a lot of great memories. I didn't know Oscar was orange originally.
