Many of these span decades, Lassie was 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Rocky and Bullwinkle was 50’s and 60’s for example. ---

Princess SummerFallWinterSpring 17. Bunny Rabbit 18. Crusader Rabbit 19. The Flintstones 20. Miss Francis Ding Dong School Ahh… this is truly a feud from my childhood! Well, except for question #5, the kids toy fad from the 60s, because by then I was nearly 10. I would have picked “superball” but figured that G.I. Joe might be a “safer” answer. 1. Rinty was my favorite show as a small child. 2. Who could resist a talking horse, especially a golden palomino?! Yeah, he was, even though you couldn’t really tell, cause the show was black and white. 3. Alvin, of course! 4. Hula hoop, which I could -never- do! 5. My brothers had them. 🙂 6. I’m wondering how many folks are going to remember who the other puppets were (other than Howdy)! 7. Of course Bunny Rabbit, who was always tricking the Captain out of his carrots. 8. Here’s another question that will separate the 50s era folks from everyone else - Crusader Rabbit was pretty big with kids when I was in 2nd grade. 🙂 9. Of course the Flintstones - I love Pebbly poo. 🙂 10. _laughs_ I may be the only one who remembers Miss Francis Ding Dong School! We’ll see. 🙂 Very early “educational” tv. 🙂 Hope you all enjoy this feud. 🙂 ---
