Circus Boy S1E1 'Meet Circus Boy' (FULL EPISODE)

When the Burke & Walsh Circus is bought by a new owner, 'Big Tim' Champion (Robert Lowery), he decides that having Corky (Micky Dolenz) around will be too much of a financial burden.
First aired September 23, 1956.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

One of the very first TV shows I saw as a kid...

[@hymatwat9412]

Me too

[@ameliacurtis2009]

I heard somewhere that Micky Dolenz played the kid, so I decided to see it to believe it, and... now I'm a believer.

[@battlestarmarc]

Micky was so funny in the Monkees. Micky should have done a comedy film with Leslie nielsen.

[@johnbockelie3899]

The con man who was kicked out was Doodles Weaver.

[@TheSean7564]

For all KZbin's political faux pas, episodes like this one make it a worthwhile library of pieces of history which one might hear or read about but not experience. Thank you for posting!

[@Arbed225]

Mickey Dolenz was a pretty good child actor.

[@southernbiscuits1275]

I loved this show as a child and I have a couple of the old Whitman Circus Boy books. Yes, this is cheesy and dated. But, it's still decent entertainment and fun.

[@MrLeglamp]

Form Circus Boy to Monkee Man.

[@zoex4722]

what a cute lead actor! i wonder what his relationship will be like with the federal bureau of investigation when he's older?

[@tomlemery8490]

Micky was with the Monkees, Robert Lowery was the 1949 Batman in the serial, Noah Berry Jr. was on the Rockford Files.

[@Superlad9494]

Also...you do not mess with Batman...he's got a full nest of Robins behind him.

[@rebeccabledsoe4550]

Coco dolenz was also on the show

[@Laughandsong]

Is this still shown on Nine Network in Australia?

[@Laughandsong]

Mickey used the name Braddock in order to not draw the attention on the fact that he was the son of George Dolenz, "The Count of Monte Cristo".

[@bobbyliebling8968]

Really interesting and I used to watch that always when I was a little boy

[@stardust_memories2260]

Sounds like the adult Mickey on helium

Thanks so much for posting this series. I watched it as a kid and to my surprise I still enjoy it as an old lady of 73!

[@TheMailmanTV]

I'm so glad you enjoy it! I'm 17 and I love it too!! :)

[@marycarson2923]

Yep I remember watching this as a kid. Still good at 69

[@larrybrown2933]

Yes so did I and makes me feel like a kid again. I'm 73 too

[@fiddlermargie]

I watched it as a kid, too, and am surprised at how well it still holds up. Wish as many folks could still tell the difference between good guys and bad guys, right and wrong, and realize that sometimes returning the violence is the only way, even if as a last resort, to subdue a bully.

[@PJL7095]

I’m just 55 & it was a bit before my time. Never knew of it until I was watching a documentary on The Monkeys. Hope I can watch all episodes from start to finish. Micky was an adorable young boy…. And a good actor too!

[@videoassets]

Such a joy seeing Noah Berry, Jr. again. A terrific actor!!

[@bluerider7922]

Beery.

[@TralfazConstruction]

Good grief. One of my earliest memories of watching TV back in the late, late-'50 and early-'60s. It would have been in reruns/syndication by the time I saw it though. Add My Little Margie with Gale Storm and Our Miss Brooks with Eve Arden. I'd catch reruns in the early morning hours before my parents and baby brother (he's now 64) were awake. Bowl of cereal on my lap I'd watch TV. The local CBS affiliate even had the Farm Report before the day's regular programming kicked-in.

[@caelachyt]

Who knew Mickey would end up being a rock star, lol.

[@bridgetstoli2347]

Actor who played a rock star.

@@bridgetstoli2347 - Well, he did do most of the singing and did learn to play drums.

As a child I had a crush on corky!! Later I loved him as one of the monkeys. Micky Dolez I'm so cute

[@jakewhittle444]

Hi my Jake boy Jake whittle

[@DWor-]

Yeah, that’s a 1950’s show all right, some schmoe shows up and without half an inkling starts telling a little kid about life, doesn’t even sound like he’s one note genuine whatsoever and the kid is just suppose to accept it as the facts of life. Little wonder this attitude makes each and every one of us totally un-trusting and looking for bull and nonsense everywhere. We were all trained to smell the routine of random nonsense.

[@MrRatherino]

wow! look at the following in just a couple of weeks! congrats Mailman!

I got here because of the Stuart McLean short story, “The Waterslide”. A good writer always put a smidgen of truth into each story, and this was the smidgen.

How Does the show go on

[@davidcouch6514]

This rewound on Sunday mornings.

[@JonBlackstone]

This show totally creeps me out. I have always hated the circus and carnival culture. It's also strangely unnerving because it's one of those cheep, poorly produced, poorly acted 50s TV shows made for kids. Kind of the 50s version of The Banana Splits. Crummy shows produced for kids by adults who think kids are too dumb to know the difference.

[@bobbyhamblen2338]

you must be blast at parties.

[@howardkerr8174]

I don't think this was produced for children as much as it was just " plain, old fashioned entertainment " for the whole family. John Blackstone sounds like he has never seen a tv show from the early 50s. If anything, this looks like a typical " period " western with the added twist of being set with a circus. If you go to Wikipedia, you find that this show originally aired in prime time, just like other similar shows: Lassie, and Rin, Tin, Tin. Sure, it eventually wound up on saturday morning along with other " kid's shows ", but it didn't start out as a cheap production that was supposed to appeal (only?) to children. BTW, the producer for this series would go on to produce other " CRUMMY " shows like The Naked City, Route 66, and Hawaii 5-0.

😎...I put in quite a few good years as a ride technician with a very well-known carnival company out of Corfu ,New York by the name of "Powers Great American Midways. The owner (big boss)was named Corky Powers, he was third generation Carnival owner... now I know exactly where he got his name....lmao 😂👍🇺🇲🎠🎪🎡🇺🇲
