Oh yeah. They always dressed Danny's youngest daughter in the prettiest dresses! That was Angela Cartwright, who later played Penny Robinson in a childhood favorite, Lost in Space. I was a very confused little boy. Had a crush on her dresses, & Billy Mumy at the same time. If they would have put him in one of those dresses, I would have been in heaven.
I believe the show went by both names. The Danny Thomas Show, & Make Room For Daddy. But I can't remember which one came first.
I used to also like Romper Room episodes too. Many of the girls were dressed in some pretty elaborate, frilly, pretty outfits. Even when the girls were in pants, shorts, or rompers, most of them were cool ruffled "bubble" styles. Frequently the girls had short hair styles so I could think they were a boy.
Back in those days, Romper Room & Captain Kangaroo also ran some cool but bizarre cartoons like Tom Terrific & Popeye. Loved the Captain's toy choo-choo train he had running through the place too. Up until the fire, I had an antique Gilbert American Flyer toy train (from the late 1940s that I restored myself) & huge LGB toy train set up in my bedroom year round. They ran around the room, & even under the end tables & bed. They went choo-choo & smoked just like real steam locos. I had to step over train tracks or a train just to get to bed. They were built so solid, even if I did step on the tracks, it wouldn't break them.
So strange to be playing with a boy's toy trains with the cats in my bedroom while wearing a dress.
Lost them in the fire. I see many of the same or similar kinds of trains on e-bay... for someday when I'm rich. Maybe I can find some broken ones cheap again & restore them myself. Still love seeing pix & watching films of old steam locomotives.
