I had to do some digging but my earliest
TV memory was a magical frog !
‘Andy’s Gang’ was the show starring
Andie Devine who would say;
“Plunk you Magic Twanger” and FROGGY would appear in a puff of smoke!

TV destroyed our Nation.
Look at us now walking around with tiny personal screens permanently attached to our brains.

We had a good run

Yes! I couldn’t remember the name of the show (buh).

I shamefully admit I actually said, “Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy,” a week or two ago. Nobody got it. “Hiya, kids, Hiya!” rings no bells these days, either.

And yes, I remember laughing at old folks doing just what we’re enjoying now, 65 years later…

I recall “plank your magic twanger, Froggy”.

And, yes, we did have a good run. We were lucky to live in the Boomer era, I think.

My earliest was Captain Kangaroo.

(I remember being terrified by the original King Kong when they showed it on TV...)
