Mickey Mouse Club with Annette Funicello - Davy Crockett

[jazzcat1123]

I watched reruns of the MMC after school in the very early 70's. Then, on Saturday nights I would watch The Lawrence Welk Show with my dad just to see Bobby. As far as it being a simpler time, more wholesome and more famiy oriented, it was! Doors were rarely locked but crime happened and wars were fought. But the bad things were far and few between.  I long for the days when where I live was boring. Now it's filled with illegal aliens whose kids are gang members shooting innocent children.

[omgggadam3]

Back then, they couldn't even show a ladies stomach. Now TV is so filthy and disgusting and companies do it because it makes them money. Plus they want our kids to learn what they want them to learn. Sad to think of it, really.

[vattel1]

Thanks Annette..I ran home from school to see you...

[suhwhutdee]

people who like to pretend the wholesome face of the mickey mouse club had anything at all to do with reality are the saddest people on the planet. mickey mouse club is nice but the idea that that was an "innocent" time is strictly for stupid people. black dahlia? lindburgh baby? bath school disaster? albert fish? back then was as awful as now you buncha rose-colored-glasses types.

[MelissaLovesMakeup89]

@suhwhutdee Some people like to watch things from that time because it was more simply-done. Nothing regarding outside factors. It was live, the costumes were simple and it was simple entertainment for the whole family.

Instead of putting people down who use this as an escape, why dont you just enjoy the show for what it is?

Must we watch a show and know every bit of history behind it? No.

[suhwhutdee]

@MelissaLovesMakeup89 I was not putting down the show - I was responding to a commenter on this thread doing the "back then was great, today's a disaster" thing that's so tiresome. Sorry to have been a wet blanket for you!

[HuggiMa]

Annette's eyebrows are the bomb.

[colindominy]

Don't really care about any detractors .. they clearly don't know nothin anyhow .. this is a great upload, thanks for the so-fond, so-good memories. It really WAS a fabulous time to have grown-up in, wouldn't have missed this stuff for the world.

This boys life

[ToryMagoo44]

LOL! I was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club...many, many years ago. (And later joined the Cult of $cientology. To any kids reading this: If you're remotely considering joining that group----Learn both sides: They're is an extremely abusive side you need to know. :)

[johnny14773]

@ToryMagoo44

1930s!? lol



[badattitude77769]

@ToryMagoo44 I get sick looking at this, my childhood, the ones at the top use the children for evil.

[amerikanprincess]

Luckily for the rest of us, @Dan4USCTroy, there's moveon.org and the Progressive Democrats of America. YOUR Repukelican friends in Washington have been working overtime to destroy our lives, and with the help of faithful constituents like you, they're doing a dandy job. The rest of us need another Poor People's March on Washington. THAT'S how I'D like to bring back those "good" old days!

[dreamlover50s]

@amerikanprincess

Does your mommy know you're playing with her computer?

[amerikanprincess]

@dreamlover50s I'm lucky I get a word in edgewise. My 2 teenagers are on Facebook here ALL THE TIME!

[badattitude77769]

@amerikanprincess no doubt! republican party the forerunner to the american nazi party.

[Dramactica]

@badattitude77769

oh please. republican don't even care about the people than their money. no wonder they against taxes.

[iamrafsusername]

TEDDY: Have you guys been watching the Mickey Mouse Club lately?

GORDIE, CHRIS AND VERN: Yeah.

TEDDY: I think Annette's tits are getting bigger.

CHRIS: Think so?

TEDDY: Yeah, I think so.

GORDIE: Yeah. I think he's right. I've been noticing lately that the A and the E are beginning to bend around the sides.

[ProfEmelius]

Annette - I love you!!! This brought a tear to my eye - for real

[WWEChampion16]

Bring this show back on the air!

[dancingirl11]

This show was part of me, my life, and helped mold me into the person I've become. Great memories.

[Dan4USCTroy]

Those were the true wholesome days, John Wayne, Walt Disney, Ronald Reagan when America was about liberty and justice for all. we didnt have to worry about the westboro baptish church,police chases,aids,companys going bankrupt Circuit City, Blockbuster, no terrorist threats, no reality shows like O.C Housewifes,Jersey shore. kids played outside, now kids stay inside for XBOX, facebook,twitter, Ustream, Myspace, the simpsons.all we have left is our military, Coke Cola and Ron Paul. God help us.

[Sauldrieser]

@Dan4USCTroy  Wholesome? Maybe for white people.

[crooklynsince1983]

@Dan4USCTroy Ya did have to worry bout them crazy Soviets & there nukes.

[IwshIcldstrtover]

@Dan4USCTroy Hear hear! I think that Mr. Disney would roll over in his grave if he new what has happened with the movies and so forth made under "Disney" name.

[RonaldVaughan]

Can you post The Thompsons doing "Dance With The Dolly" and "Steel Guitar Rag" from

the original MMC's "Talent Roundup Day"? This must have been late 1958 or 59.

Those recordings are not available at all. Thanks.

[mouse12345ify]

WOW THE MEMORIES,,,,, I FLASHED RIGHT BACK TO THAT TIME THANKS :)

[zeak62]

I dated Annette in 1962, she was ok, but sucked in bed. oh well. That is all I can say.

[mandog917]

I wish they'd bring back Vault Disney. The best stuff Disney ever did, shown late at night on the Disney Channel.

[AVTino]

Two(2) people have NO taste! (Or just have no childhood, or something...) I may have watched the first repeats of the gang when I was a kid, but I'm truly an official Mouseketeer! Weeeeee! =]

[tvtimetravel]

Cheryl had such a beautiful smile! RIP Cheryl

[ozarkmac]

Good memories. RIP America

[ozarkmac]

Last frame would be considered child porn these days.

[noland628]

AT ONE TIME, DISNEY WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NORM! TOO BAD THINGS WILL NEVER BE LIKE THE ORIGNAL DISNEY WAS!

TODAYS GENERATION JUST DON'T HAVE IT IN THEM TO BE LIKE THESE KIDS WERE! IT WOULD BE A POLITICALLY CORRECT PRODUCTION!

IF THEY WERE TO MAKE A MOVIE ON THE ORIGNAL MICKEY MOUSE CLUB, THE ACTING WOULD NEVER COMPARE TO THE ORIGNAL! IT NEVER DOES!

[KEENY552]

this remains me of tom and jerry <3

[sergio944]

Those kids seemed so old when I was a kid. Now they look like little kids. How time flies.

[LesbianVampireLover]

Oh man, I had one of those coonskin caps! Bet they wouldn't even show a Davy Crockett episode these days...too politically incorrect!

[turkey7033]

[mary32724]

I didnt realize Doreen was taller than Darlene...

[recovering16]

What a treasure trove you have supplied here, "Disney Fan". Thank you! In the late 50's, I would rush home from school to watch Mickey Mouse Club and American Bandstand!!

[rivolifan2009]

Ahhhh....thanks for the memories! 

[matmicmj]

peace+love

[coachrv31]

Wow, does this bring back some great memories ! You have captured some of the greatest moments of this show. Kudos to you! What comes to mind so clearly is my puppy love for Darlene. Annette was probably the most popular, but Darlene was my favorite, and so when the adventures of "Corky and White Shadow," starring Darlene, was featured, I was in seventh heaven. Thanks for those wonderful years of yesterday.

[thebradybunchlover]

@coachrv31 Darlene is my favorite too! :)

I have no clue why my reply here was flagged as spam. People react like idiots on here to postings.

I used to watch these reruns back in the 70's, even then, I knew they were from the 50's, but loved to watch them anyway! And Howdy Doody,too! I am 43 now. REALLY glad I had a chance to watch tis tuff, kids nowadays should be getting into these old shows, at least the girls weren't doing pole dances like they are now in kid's shows,lol!!

[Astraldragon1]

I liked Spin and Marty..a good show. is it on DVD yet ?  if not it should be.

[OzzInter]

@Astraldragon1

Seeing this it brought back memories of SPIN & MARTY.

I remember show, replayed in Australia in the 1960s, made being a child in America seem very adventurous.

I like, most Baby Boomers, hold very found memories of the MM Club and all the serials, such as Spin & Marty

Great to see again!!!

[Tigermoon1950]

I'm still in love with Annette. I used to wait for her to appear on my 9" screen. Most American boys felt the same way. It was our secret for many years...

[PandaMakers]

My dad had a crush on Annette. :3

[kwassagirl]

So do I - comeone Cable Networks - how about it?

[march149]

I wish they would re run these on the cable networks.

[alienhuman]

Racism??? You need a new nose.

[PandaMakers]

@alienhuman There's no black people. O.O

[bigfatgreenguyinrain]

@PandaMakers He was talking to jackofclubz who said they could smell the racism, he wasn't implying that there was racism.

[PandaMakers]

@bigfatgreenguyinrain That IS the Racism, Jew. D:<

[bigfatgreenguyinrain]

@PandaMakers jess lol there was nothing racist in alienhuman's reply to jackofclubz

[PandaMakers]

@bigfatgreenguyinrain JUST STFU MARVIN. D<

[56Mercgal]

@Rrwmissouri WHY in the world was your comment flagged as spam?? I think it was a great comment! I visited Fess Parker's winery in Santa Ynez. That was a year before he died. They told me he sometimes comes into the tasting room and maybe the next time I came by there, he might be there. Wish I could have met him!

[Astraldragon1]

@56Mercgal , I all so wish I could have meet Fess Parker before he passed away...he will be missed... I enjoyed him as Davey Crockett, and later Daniel Boone which I didn't know he had played untill about 3 yrs ago when the TV show came out on DVD. I'm 42 now and glad for all the memories from these shows.

[jackofclubz]

I can just smell the racism.

[dolliciousart]

Such fun, thanks...

[1952kid]

Keep in mind ,Tv was young then,there were alot of first time things to do. Thats what kept our interest , first time to see a Davy Crockett series , first time to watch Disneyland on TV. So alot of it was that first time effect, which by now has been done 1000 times over .

[ltrich50]

Andy wears the ranch t-shirt in Toy Story.

[darlie48]

I guess this was in syndication when I watched it in the mid-60's, but I couldn't wait to get home from school to watch it. I liked the Annette serial & the Hardy Boys.

[woodywoodsen]

LOVIN IT!

[BEATNIKCASS]

yeah---i loved annette too,,,,,and I was a grownup 16 at the time

[Saberspark]

I am totally sitting in class right now while this is playing on the screen in the front. HEY DR. SMITH!!!!!!!!

[123JDB789]

Golly Gee and Gee Willikers ! ....there once was a time when America was young and innocent. What the hell happened?

Only Annette stays young at heart, and innocent as an angel.

[DONTHEMAGICWON]

@123JDB789 the 1960's happend

[123JDB789]

It was a statement.... not a question!!!

[DONTHEMAGICWON]

@123JDB789 Calm down killer

[56Mercgal]

@123JDB789 Yeah, really! We are goin downhill FAST!!!

[GLORY5HIM]

oh how I love these shows...it brings so many memories back of y childhood...chris

[omgggadam3]

@GLORY5HIM AGREED

[Rollman1]

to bad Eric Von Zepper wasent a Mousketeer.

Did Jimmy have the hots for Annet?

[Rollman1]

Spin and Marty how boring

[spinoza1111]

I think I'm gonna be sick. Even when we watched this crap in the 1950s we knew that it was a lie from start to finish.

[SEVFEST]

I was always taught if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all..

it wasn't crap, it was fun.......

[STEVE4902]

Oh come on now.....why so bitter? It was good old CLEAN fun......lighten up.....

[isabellesingsxoxo]

hahaaha in the movie Stand By Me they talk about anette,in a kinda gross way!

[retrogirl19]

maliwyoming, I have to disagree with you! "Davy Crockett" is certainly far from 'unwatchable.' I love watching it and know many people that do.  And it's not like we're all just reminiscing..I wasn't even born until the early 1990's!!! "Davy Crockett," "Daniel Boone," etc. are still quite watchable and a whole lot better than most stuff on TV today.

[Juliaflo]

You said it.

[maliwyoming]

I was 8 in 1955 and went absolutely nuts about Davy Crockett as did most boys of my era. It was a tremendous fad for about a year. Coonskin caps were everywhere, Today the Davy Crockett movie is almost unwatchable, it has aged so badly, but it was a monster hit back then, shown in three parts on Disneyland, Sunday afternoons in my neighborhood. If you can believe it, on channel carried both ABC an NBC programming, so some programs were on at strange times.

[Rollman1]

Is that really Spin & Marty Mcfly ?

[Rollman1]

No Black or Latin kids in this club

Was Walt racest?

[Juliaflo]

Actually, during the first season, there was one Latina--her name was Mary Espinosa, but I believe she was let go after a few weeks when her option was not renewed.

[SmilinSweetpea]

I'm pretty sure it was the general culture of TV in the day to think of most everyone as white and act accordingly.

[konachrisman]

It was just a different time. Politically correct didn't exist yet. Maybe it should have, but it didn't. There were no blacks, or any people of color for that matter, on TV then except for stero types like Rochester on Jack Benny or the comedian Jose Jimanez. Its just how it was.

[Rollman1]

I realize that i was born in 54 now the current M.M. Club wears red or blue bandanas

[SCE2AUX]

Jose Jiminez wasn't even an actual person (well, at least not the one you're thinking of). He was a character created by the Hungarian-Jewish comedian Bill Dana

[Juliaflo]

Ne Bill Szarthmary.

[blueticecho]

I dont know about the M M C....What about Walt and the Zorro show?....

[LFirstbasema]

When I 1st saw this I thought that was an old lady in the window by Jimmie. But I now realize it's Roy.

[cricketandbuddy]

Great video, sure brings back memories! I was pretty little when the Mickey Mouse Club was on, but I remember it. Maybe from the reruns, I'm not sure. But my older brother & sister watched the show all the time. Because of that, our little brother, who is now 51 got his name. Our mom & dad couldn't come up with a name. My mother told my dad she would name him Elvis if he didn't come up with a name. So my brother & sister came up with the name Marty from The Adventures of Spin and Marty.

[lazished]

always wanted to get one of those davy crockett guns from frontier land but i never got one

[DionsDoll]

WOW THATS ANNETTE?!

[jimbisonlinenow]

So many thanks. This vid is like visiting lost family and friends. I remember the original disneyland show on Sunday nights. Everyone in the neightborhood was at home, glued to the b&w screen. When I die I want to go the Magic Kingdom.

[DenPCaracciolo]

Let me know if this text goes thru.

D.

[quickattack]

wow, i love annette's young voice when she sang.

[7NTM61Ic]

Me too.

PS: Sharon was a real cutie here. What ever happened to her?
