Romper Bomper Stomper Doo! Oh, I do indeed remember it. Loved that show as a little girl in the 1950s. Miss Nancy was the teacher then. Her daughter Miss Sally took over later. I am probably older than you, as I remember “Hodgepodge Lodge” (that woman was weird!) and Professor Kool, but I turned them on for my own children.

I remember “Captain Chesapeake”, but I never watched it. Did it start in the 1960s? I guess I was too old. I think he played cartoons, right? Never did like cartoons, even as a child. Big exception, of course, “Rocky and Bullwinkle”, which I watched as a teen.

“Full Disclosure” and “Captain 20” I never heard of.

How about the “Buddy Dean” show?

Captain Chesapeake was late 60's or early 70's I think, and played old cartoons in the after-school time slot.

Captain 20 was on channel 20 and was a nerdy looking guy with fake Spock ears and futuristic uniform; he played even worse stuff than Captain Chesapeake -- think Ultraman and the like.

'Full Disclosure' is not a show, but a disclaimer I sometimes put on my posts.

Sorry to say, I do not remember Buddy Dean.

The highlight of Captain Chesapeake was the screenshot of the waters of the Chesapeake Bay behind him, artificially rocked around to try to make it look like the in-studio set was bobbing aboard a boat. One day the folks moving the film of the water got a bit carried away, and it turned upside down for a moment.

Cheers!
