Wow. I would never believe anyone else but me was getting up before the sun rose on a Saturday morning to watch Modern Farmer when I was 5 years old. My father would hear me and look into the living room and ask me what was I watching at 5 o'clock in the morning. I would say Modern Farmer because I wanted to be a Farmer when I grew up. He would just shake his head and chuckle and go back to bed. I loved those shows. Colonel Bleep was the space cartoon with the cowboy puppet Squeek and the Caveman Scratch. Like so many Crusader Rabbit was one of my all time favorites. Then there was Mr Wizard and his great chemistry and science show. I also remember a farming game show on the weekends called Agricultural U.S.A. and very early weekday mornings before school watching Early Bird Cartoons featuring the silent stick figure cat and mice episodes from the 1920's. There was so many more. NYC TV was the best in the 50's and 60's.
