I have so many memories of the"Onion Song." This show was one of the greatest parts of being a Minnesota kid.

I loved this show! I am 65 and ran home everyday for lunch. This 50 anniversary show reminds me how funny the show was. I was a lucky kid!

[@lily-kp1ll]

Yep we went home from school for lunch and watched it every day.

[@johnurban7333]

Back when you were allowed to be a kid. Children’s show’s were the best during this time and Casey’s was the best

[@rtbell2806]

I had Casey read my birthday 61 years ago when i was 7! I lived every day for his show!

[@tlodland1]

Me, too! 😂

[@patriciaschlagel597]

Thank you for a trip down memory lane as a Minnesota kid! ❤️

[@whereman1199]

I loved Casey and Round house like every child of our time. So corner it made cry. Especially the ending, why didn't the network fight for this show...

My brother had gotten to meet him and it's been a great memory of his for years. Thank you for having this out on KZbin

[@1208bug]

Wonderful, thank you!

happy happy birthday to every girl and boy..... I sing it to my brother each birthday, and to my kids on their birthday. My kids all know the song well this 50 years later. My brother really loves hearing that song each birthday.

Lynn Dwyer sent me a personal letter, my having written him, with instructions on building a kite winder. As a nine year old, that meant a lot. I also rode with Roger in his aqua car at a WTCN company picnic, as my mother worked there. I saw him the first time as a four year old at a JCC nursery school carnival. He was smothered in kids. One of my solid first memories. Love to the families.

I was originally from MSP and was born there in '47. But growing up an army brat, I left there just after my dad got home from Korea. Still, we returned each summer for his 30-day leaves and I "grew up" enjoying "Lunch with Casey" as well as "Axel and His Dog." When we returned "home" (depending on where my father was stationed at the time), I always felt a void as my local programming couldn't even approach the classic MSP programming. In 1965, just after I graduated from high school and before I enlisted in the Navy a few months later, I was lucky enough to work for a local TV station as a studio cameraman. Initially, until video tape was installed, everything we did in the studio was LIVE. We had only a single chance to get it right and it was an absolutely fascinating job and was even more fun when we had to compensate for the few but occasional "glitches." Seeing this makes me appreciate the work these folks did. I also felt a twinge of longing when I saw a couple of the studio shots with the guy running a RCA TK-30 camera,; the same one I ran. Those were truly some fun days! Thanks for this great montage! Abd BTW, NO ONE will ever equal Dave Moore. Or Bud Kraehling!

I still have his picture from a Minnetonka Plaza visit west of Excelsior.

love lunch with casey and roundhouse rodney at lunchtime living in saint paul east side where we walk home for lunch and back to school at the busy streets of maryland and payne avenue. saint paul only broadcast in black and white and minneapolis had color at a very high price. i completely forgot about grandma lumpit show. we also had clancey the cop and david ketchum with great puppts vivian the vulture and dave lee pete the penguin in the after school shows. the grab bags were awesome and if it was your birthday there was an extra treat, simpler times.

I will never firget!!!! 💟☮️

If you ask any kid of the 60s and 70s, they have nothing but the fondest memories of not only this, but Carmen the Nurse, Dave and Friends and Clancy and Willie. It's makes me mad that a couple of pissed off mom's put so many people out of work. Not only where the TV stations affected, but also restaurants like Shakey's Pizza and Uncle John's were driven out of business once they could no longer reach their target audience. Sad.

I would go home for lunch every day. I was one of the lucky ones that lived close to the school and my mom was a stay at home housewife and mother. Would go home and watch Casey Jones and roundhouse Rodney and the dancing bear once in a while from Captain kangaroo would come and dance with Casey. And I’d have my nice home cooked lunch. I learned to put my potato chips inside my sandwich to eat my lunch faster put it right on top of your tuna or your sliced turkey or ham sandwich eat everything all at once that’s what he said put your pickles in there put your potato chips in there and then you just by the time you’re done with your sandwich you’re done with everything.
