[debm55]

43. Thank you very much for sharing with us. I loved that show as a kid. Thank you friend, MIButterfly.

[MIButterfly]

70. I LOVED the Grandfather clock and the Dancing Bear, but I didn't like Bunny Rabbit.

Even as a kid, I thought he was too corny, over-the-top and not funny. For some reason, I absolutely HATED Mr. Green Jeans. I have no idea why, though. The poor guy was probably harmless.

[debm55]

71. Thank you MlButterfly.
