Circus Boy

[mrmjb1960]

Micky Braddock later became Micky Dolenz..He'd became Braddock,because he'd shared his name with his dad George Michael Dolenz!

[rukeyser]

Noah Berry had the sweetest voice.

[Babyhowdy233]

@rukeyser

He was such a sweet man!

[daisyrulzxxx]

[honeypie327]

wow..loved this movie..never dreamed Mickey would grow up to become a Monkee..

Still love him today!!!

[unclebobunclebob]

So cute. Too bad he grew up to be a monkey.

I think my five favorite shows when I was little were Spin & Marty, Rin Tin Tin, Circus Boy, Fury, and the Lassie years with Tommy Rettig(star of "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T")

[malachaisaac]

OMG, Micky is so freakin' adorable!!!

[kgrusso]

[inkey2]

[paloma598]

[piroschka6]

corky und der zirkus hiess das in deutschland, meine allererste tv serie..............

[etbella3]

The reason sex was forbidden on kids' TV shows was because it might distract from all the violence.

[etbella3]

Maybe that's why Clarabelle the Clown never spoke on Howdy Doody. Trauma from this fight. Or he'd rather fight than talk.

[etbella3]

Circus Boy is dressed like Rolf, the Nazi boy in Sound of Music. And there is a circus fight scene similar to this one in The Three Lives of Thomasina.

[inkey2]

@etbella3 funny....thats the first thing I thought of...he's dressed like a nazi.....wierd

[chrisj1966]

Glad to see this -- I'd never even seen a clip of Circus Boy until now. Thanks!

[TheMacawlady]

If you get OTA digital TV look for a channel called "Antenna TV". It's a new and carries all sorts of fun old programs, including Circus Boy.

[CruelestSea]

So adorable! Do you have any full episodes please?:)

[OughtaBeFun]

Belle and Sebastien, a band wrote a song dedicated to this series. Google it "My wandering days are over"

[mxylpx]

This was a great show. Too bad kids today don't have the great programming we had back in the 50's. Just look at the ugly limited animation and mean spirited trying to- be- adult-themed garbage passing as entertainment tthey are being fed today. Also, the "Higher the tech..the less imagination is required.

MICKY IS SOOO CUTEE!!

[dreamstreetrocks]

aww mickys so cute

[wacbates]

In 1957 I watched this show in the afternoons. Thanks for posting

[the60stimewarp]

Wow! This is great! I thought this show was lost forever - isn't Noah Beery Jr. just wonderful? I loved everything he did.  See how he cheered up the little boy. So sweet!

[sallyjosie]

I love the episode of the Monkees 'The Circus' where Mickey kept singing the theme from this show and Mike would ask what he was singing and Mickey would reply "It's a theme from an old TV show" lol

[Number1BeatleGirl]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww young Micky is sooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can so tell who he is he still looks the same on Monkees!!!

[TheBestLoser001]

@Number1BeatleGirl Lol he does! I looked and said...he didn't change at all huh? :D

[Number1BeatleGirl]

@TheBestLoser001 nope! lol only thing different is the hair color!

[powerslavet69]

Noah Beery was cool as Rocky on the Rockford Files.

[alphaql]

he is SO CUTE! never knew he was a blonde! LOL!

[savethetpc]

@alphaql He wasn't. They dyed his hair for the show!  Lol.

[dangunningham]

Noah Beery Jr. played Uncle Joey the clown.

[misamisa31]

micky was so cute as corky

[coaldusty]

Lovely show. It played here in Australia a few years back. I prefer this to modern family programs.

[BluesmanDizzy]

Where's the official DVD release of this very likeable TV show.

I enjoyed watching it as a kid.

[Kennysgirl1953]

young Micky was then going by the name Mickey Braddock...Kurt Russell also had his own show...the Travels of Jaimie McPheeters.

[monkeefan75]

Wow - thanks for posting this. I wish I could get this series. It's strange to see Micky Dolenz where he first started out. I never saw Micky as a blond 'til I saw his pictures from this series. Thanks bunches for posting it!

[flimflam742]

The clown, I believe, is played by either Noah Beery or Chill Wills.

[WhirligigTV]

Yes, it's Noah Beery

[OTRNut]

@WhirligigTV if i'm not mistaken, isn't Noah Beery the nephrew of Wallace Beery?

[WhirligigTV]

@OTRNut You are not mistaken

[rentatrip1]

@flimflam742 -"Beery " yes who later portrayed Rockford's Father "Rocky"

[etbella3]

@flimflam742 Was Circus Boy an orphan?

[hamtrak]

@flimflam742 or............Will Chills.

[brownsugah66]

Amazing.... a young and talented Mickey Dolenz

[ann2shoes]

Oh my goodness! I typed in 'Circus Boy' on a whim and this came up, thank you SO much for uploading it. Childhood memories or what? This show made me really, really want to visit the USA (and I did).

[agentdoubleozero]

i thought kurt russell played circus boy. thats how i remembered... mind plays funny tricks..... wasnt kurt a child star also? what show was that?

[mickindanny]

Cutest kid in the whole wide world! And Coolest Man. I love him.

[moxie96]

There a picture of Micky Dolenz's younger sister fitting his Circus boy suit from an issue of tiger beat from 1967

[AlbertPaysonTerhune]

Interesting getup Mickey wears, sort of a junior Sturmabteilung uniform.

[ToryWillowbrooke15]
