How come we never saw or hear of these kids going wild or on drugs like Britney, angelina, and Miley who is now Hanna Montanna now? And she is going wild to? Better times and better morals back then. Much better times.

Oh, some of the Mousketeers had their moments, too. I believe Doreen posed for Playboy, and Darlene has spent some time in jail. Karen has always been one of my favorites, though. Simply sweet.

Karen was my sweetie way back when. I started the first grade just before this program started on TV. It was so nice to come home from school around 4 PM and have this start an hour later and fill up the following hour!!! I sort of made up for no longer being able to watch Captain Kangaroo in the mornings.
