Well even though I was a girl and not a boy, I wanted to be Cuffy, too! Either that, or I just had a crush on him (along with all the other little boy heroes of '50s TV shows). I could not remember what the little kid's name was until I found this website today. I don't remember as much about this show as I do others like Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and Leave it to Beaver, but I do remember that I enjoyed watching it. Imagine a time when wholesomeness ruled the airwaves, imagination was more important than crudeness, and bad grammar, bad manners and bad morals were NOT things to which we aspired. Pretty much, people knew what was expected of them as a productive member of society, and bringing shame on your family was unthinkable.

As a little girl, this was one of my favorite shows, and I had a major crush on Rusty. I have often wondered what became of him and the other actors on the show. From this website, it looks as though they are still around. I'm happy to see that. To say it was of a more innocent time is certainly an understatement! Today I happened to be in a nail salon (captive by a TV screen) where they played Britney Spears' videos until my head almost exploded. Contrast that kind of garbage with the stuff we got to watch, and it makes me glad to be old. I also liked to watch Sky King, Mickey Mouse Club, Captain Gallant Foreign Legion, Spin & Marty and The Three Stooges. Those were the days, as Archie & Edith would say.
