"Sky King out of the blue of the western sky..."
bptBill, you're the only other person I know that remembers Sky King!
We didn't have a color TV, but we had the "next best thing" - a plastic overlay with pink in the middle, blue on top, and green on the bottom... it "colorized" the B&W picture (as long as you were looking at a scene that had grass, sky, and something in between!)
What about the Merry Mailman?
ps. I don't remember all the things you guys remember about Capt. Kangaroo. I'm impressed! Wait - who's that we're talking about?
