For years the shows people remember watching in early childhood were different in every country, but that's not completely true anymore. Younger Americans might fondly remember growing up with the UK imports The Teletubbies, or Thomas the Train, or the Australian show The Wiggles. Some British kid's shows I only learned about in adulthood, like Camberwick Green: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piE-VEubGr4

For me it was the US shows Captain Kangaroo (not Australian for some reason), Hobo Kelly, Shari Lewis and Lambchop (sort of an Americanized Muffin the Mule), and the dangerously anarchistic and totally brilliant nutjob Soupy Sales https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n43zAbwtiaI , who got in trouble for instructing kids to steal money out of their parents wallets and purses and mail it to him. People just a year or 2 older than me have Howdy Doody as their formative TV experience (sorry I missed that one), and a year or 2 younger they had Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, and then Sesame Street, which I watched for a while as a teen but it got old because I already knew the alphabet and how to count to ten. But everyone in the USA has heard of Mr. (Fred) Rogers, a secular saint teaching kindness, acceptance and forbearance in the way that would melt the heart of the most hardened cynic, and who was iconic enough that Tom Hanks played him in a 2019 movie, which I'll get around to watching as soon as I finish the last 3 Andrea DiMaggio stories posted here at BCTS...

BOZO THE CLOWN was another show that was popular when I was a kid, but even then he just seemed like an asshole to me, I can't really say why. Sometimes I wish I was Brazilian and a couple of decades younger, so I could have grown up watching this fun, pretty, sexy lady: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96-zuLrVOro
