Does anyone remember Channel 4's early-50s children's shows, pre-Rex Trailer?   I 
remember an earlier Western character called Al Raleigh (spelling probably not accurate), 
who initially led a group of Western singers, who branched out into more a adventuresome 
children's format called "Round-up Time."  They also had an old-timer named Mr. Fistoosh 
(again, spelling is phonetic).  

And Carl deSeuze was on as "Uncle Carl" with a handpuppet dog named "Popo."

I hope I'm not the only one who remembers these characters.  Donna?
