I grew up in Canton MA and was on the Major Mudd show around 1966-67. I remember being shocked to discover the set was plywood and not a real spaceship. The troublesome airlock door was actually a stage hand wiggling the door. I didn’t tell anyone at school I was on the show but when it aired and they saw me, I became an instant celebrity of the third grade. Too bad they don’t have TV shows where kids can participate anymore.

I remember being on the major mudd show with my brownie troop. It was either 1968 or 1969. They did a closeup of me and I would love to get my hands on that tape (probably impossible). I thought I was the only one who remebered that but I am not alone. The tapes are probably archived. If anyone knows any differently, please let me know. Thanks.

I want to thank you for allowing my brother-in-law’s younger brother and sister to appear on the Major Mudd show without needing tickets when I first started working at 7 as a cameraman. They had a great time and it was fun working on the show! I also worked on the “Animals, Birds And Crawly Things” segments that Jimmy Miades recorded in the late afternoon before the news at 6. I will never forget the time we had a full grown tiger in the studio!

I also remember Major Mudd. My son appeared on Major Mudd. Major Mudd held him the whole time the show was on. How I wish there was some way to get a video of that show…..

I grew up accross the street from Ed McDonnell and his family. He and his wife delivered me in my parent’s house when I quicky came onto the scene. I was known as Baby Mudd. He was deeply loved by my entire family.

Major Mudd, Rex Trailer, Big Brother, Creature Feature, & Kimba, Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Dale Dorman.
I remember watching all these shows.
Loved Major Mudd. “With an I and a B and a B and a Y” The first time I ever dropped the F-bomb was to that tune, as in “With an F and a U …” A neighborhood kid taught me that song and I got my face slapped AND had an Ivory soap bar put in my mouth because of it. For some reason, I whenever I think of Major Mudd or Roger Ramjet, I think of that.
Being born in late 1959 (HS Class 1978) I was involved in a lot of the 1973-1978 Bicentennial celebrations. I remember marching with the Littleton Minutemen in Concord and seeing Rex Trailer on Goldrush riding along with the Sudbury Minutemen, if I recall correctly.
We didn’t get a color TV until 1973 and that was the first time we got the UHF stations, so I always prized going to a friend’s house and catching the Japanese cartoons on 38 and 56. I remember Dale Dorman on WRKO when it was a Top 40 station (“68 RKO!!”) and when he moved to WVBF (105.1 FM? “It’s a Very Bad Fox with a W in front of her name, WVBF, BOSTON!”).
I think Conan O’Brien appeared on Community Auditions.
Anyway, great posts!
