Rex Trailer Boomtown Theme Song

My brother and I were on the show as cub scouts. I recall watching the Popeye cartoon (Popeye and the Pirates) on the TV screen while we were suppose to be cheering the kid's game. The show we were on aired all Popeye cartoons. I was stunned and, being a fan of the sailor, though this was done just for me.

I remember Rex and Pablo did the Oil Can race in the Soap Box Derby Race at the Nothshore shopping center in Peabody!

I met Rex Trailer late 1960s while he did a personal appearance off Cummings Highway in Mattapan. I was on the show. Loved it, avid watcher, and the wonderful Pablo (the late Richard Kilbride 1918-1967) was the best too.

Rex Trailer!! My dad took me to see him at a rodeo at the Manning Bowl in Lynn. Got to meet him again on the Lynnway...Boomtown!!!

those were some good days in this nation! and ole Rex made growing up a fun thing and he always had a good message!

Sure brings back the memories. I can remember being up at 6:00 am on Saturdays to watch Rex and Pablo in the bunk house for an hour. Then Rex would jump on Gold Rush to race to Boomtown with Pablo following on the buckboard. It's silly but one of the most fantastic things was hearing the names of the "exotic" locales that the children on the show lived in. For a six year old in RI "Beverly, Revere, Waltham", etc... could have been in China. "Wait for me! I want to go to Boomtown too!"

what memories... anyone remember seeing him at pleasure island in wakefield? it looks like there was a little home movie footage here. he was a teacher when i went to emerson college, i still have his autograph. thanks rex!

Gawd! I'm proud that I am from Massachusetts! Just for no reason at all! XD

Thanks for the link!

Only those of us from the Boston area would understand any of this. What a great time to remember.
One humorous event came when the show producers wanted to do something with the old Patriots.
They chose Larry Eisenhauer and he was supposed to tackle Pablo. From what I've been told, Eisenhauer put his game face on and clocked Pablo for real. It took some time before Pablo could do another take. Great TV trivia as well as being the perfect story from Patriots history.
