I was born in 1946 and remember this show 😊
I went to a Circus when I was a kid in Medison Square Gardens. I want to say I was about 5 or 6 in either 1966 or 67. I'm 62 now. I miss all this from when I was a kid, and it was a very different world. Kids today will never know how much fun things were back then. =(

Was that the Ringling Bros. - Barnum and Bailey Combined Circus at Madison Sq. Garden you saw in '66-67? I saw that show, first circus I ever saw. I remember sitting in the nosebleed seats with my great aunt as she poured something from her flask into a Coke she had bought at the show. What I remember most was the Sideshow, held in a lower level of the Garden. That sideshow from the same era may be seen here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWZouMR6lNfUZM4.html
I remember watching when I was 4 years old. I think Don Ameche hosted a similar concept many years later. Thanks for the memories.
Wow.I.remember those old square wax paper Sealtest milk cartons with the wax paper flip top.
Thanks su much for this! There was another show - host(ess) named Sally something that had a cowboy theme. In NYC area we watched Claude Kirschner a lot, with Clowny and Cocoa Marsh. Yeah, it’s going way back.
Very good
Great video. Thank you for uploading it for us to enjoy.

Thanks for your kind thoughts
As a tot my parents used to buy me Sealtest Milk Shakes in a Can.
Originally telecast in September 1955.
Sealtest! Oh that ice-cream!
As seen on Saturday afternons at 12 Noon(et).
It's like they really were trying to nail down exactly what things were entertaining for people early on and just kinda trying everything they could think of
Sealtest ice cream. We had Sealtest milk in kindergarten in 1960.
A Kinescope! A synchronized filmed TV tube. You can see the roundness of it at the corners. Before tape, it was the only way of preserving broadcasts. Good thing, for it not we wouldn't have these early television treasures to enjoy. 'Never caught this one but had Dick Laine's of KTLA Channel 5 in the L.A. market. He served as ring-master. Perhaps some of you fully matured ones remember it?
If this wasn't actually filmed i would not have believed america was actually like this....wow unreal ...on tv wow
I didn’t know the circus 🎪 was in town.
