Topo Gigio "Topo's Chicken Friends" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@dodibenabba525]

The standard of puppeteering is still absolutely brilliant. Topo never beaten!

[@theresap.3305]

I loved this mouse as a little girl and I remember looking forward to seeing what kind of clothes he was wearing when he was on the show. Topo Gigio was so fashionable!

[@rozsheehy6146]

Oh my gosh! Me too! Exactly!! 😂

[@velvetvixen3001]

My mom raised me with that lovable little rascal (I was born in 2002) Topo Gigio was very popular in Mexico and thankfully my mother gave me the gift of watching him. It's sad to know he's fallen out of popularity with the younger generations. We need to bring back our little mouse friend.

[@mariocisneros911]

Oh , then she saw him as a child like me in 1966-68

[@jackiegarcia5683]

same i was born in 2002 and i would watch this when i was little lol

[@milamarie23]

I could not agree more! My mom would tell me stories about topo gigio and I finally got to see him on KZbin. omg he's so cute I fell instantly in love. I've been so sick physically but this brought a smile to my face. He would make so many people smile especially in the hospitals when you need it the most. so I'm 100% on board with getting topo to trend so more see him!

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Yes, he needs to make a comeback.

[@penguinZ85]

My dad grew up in Brazil and he still has a Topo toy somewhere in the house. I remember asking about it.

[@patricknoonan7242]

I love it when Topo gigio says "Eddie Kiss me goodnight." I really loves like his voices. He has some high pitched voice and a nasal voice.

[@sheltv100]

I wish there was TV like this today. But Topo Gigio could have been a good guess star on Sesame Street.

[@geraldwapniarski7513]

This was great entertainment that the whole family could watch and not worry about anything bad being said or done. God Bless those days.

[@coreyjeffrey4637]

To be fair, it's clearly implied that the mouse was sleeping with one of the chickens - thus the baby mouse in the egg...

[@Front_Hole]

@@coreyjeffrey4637 Right? Watching this for the first time, I was thinking there was no way the writers could have written something so random and seemingly simple without including some sort of double entendre or hidden humor.

[@fobiabathory5851]

I love this... They don't make kid's shows like this anymore!?!?! I grew up in Mexico in the 80s so this is the 1st time I have ever heard him speak English!?! Lol...💕

[@darleneoconnell3160]

Yes I watched this on Telemundo and he spoke Spanish. I never knew there was an English speaking version.

[@haydeeg5061]

Love it! It brings me childhood memories.

[@VivienneFinch]

I'm 63. I never forgot this sweet, cute as can be puppet. He was always the highlight of my Sunday nights. Adorable!!!

[@paulbourgeois4491]

My mother was a kind, gentle, talented soul, she read to us and tucked us in, and loved watching Topo Gigio on Ed Sullivan with us, her 3 boys, and my Pa. Mom loved that little 🐁! "Keees me goodnight, Eddy!!!"

[@Uapa500]

I didn't know our little Topo Gigio has been a guest on international tv ☺

[@stevenbaer4979]

They sure don't make any of these 📺 TV shows anymore? It was just a clean, fun, hilarious entertainment. Eddy before I go trick and treat kiss me good night. I have few 📀 DVD on the Ed Sullivan Show. Mr Stone face passed on in 1974.

[@pitwithabow-88]

Just today I got introduced to this character yesterday and love this little chunky mouse guy now

[@screamingtima1318]

I love Topo so much. ❤️ 🐭 ❤️

[@zbuildsthewayyyt1085]

My dad loved this. Topo Gigio was a curiosity for me. My dad loved the Ed Sullivan Show. Especially Topo Gigio. The reruns would air on CBS and I loved watching them with him. He would laugh so hard when he'd say, "Eddie, kiss me goodnight". I l miss this.

[@stevenbaer4979]

I love that little mouse Topo Gigio that's Ed Sullivan favorite mouse. He's a cute little entertainer. 🐁😁 🇮🇹 ✌😊😄

[@もふちゃん-x9h]

I love Topo Gigio.

[@evelynrodriguez8669]

Great Memories!

[@Dreaminghazzy22]

Damn I missed this

[@enmarodriguez1606]

I love Topo Gigio! he is so cute!❤❤❤❤❤

[@BeingRomans829ed]

In these days of CGI, it's nice to see simple childlike entertainment like this that takes real talent to perform. Such talent and skill on the part of the puppeteers. Kids need some Topo Gigio these days.

[@bassmaiasa1312]

I can assure you good CGI takes real talent. The programmers, obviously, but the animators also. There is no 'Jabba The Hutt' button in XSI. But as a CG animator, I am very impressed by this puppeteering.

[@MaryBecraft]

I watched every episode and I still have a Topo Gigio Doll.....

[@dougmilesmedia]

"Eddie, Kees a me goodnight!"

[@MegaSickcat]

Topo was my favorite part...

[@patbowman6723]

So darned cute. As old as I am I still love that little mouse.

[@bertaazar7164]

He is the sweetest topo ever, was my favorite show before I went to bed, always with the cutest pijamas, "kiss me goodnight" gave me comfort and joy as a little girl. Thank you Topo Gigio, love you

[@rosarioespinoza8090]

Gracias por seguir con nosotros topo gigio , te queremos .muchos niños y adultos les gustas , yo sobre todo me gusta mucho y soy adulta 😀

[@miguelbran1854]

Omg this program is from Mexico I was a lil kid I used to like it a lot😮

[@mileniavargas2078]

Watching it in 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardr5928]

My Parents would let me stay up long enough to see Topo on the Ed Sullivan show then I had to go to bed.

[@lawrenceharrison3655]

Incredible. Sullivan's show was cancelled in 71; it was 1 of the casualties of the Great Purge conducted by CBS in their efforts to attract a younger, more urbane (& Richer!) Audience. Ed (The Master) passed away 3 years Afterwards, but his Legacy, as signified by clips of this nature, will Endure Forevermore!

[@houdannycomedymagic8642]

Well, there was my childhood! (That may age me a bit, lol.)

[@annaguitto1124]

sarai il mio amico per sempre GiGio

[@ignazs.5816]

So cute.

[@stonyrerootkit1013]

I remember this

[@franksinatraalvesprates9933]

Super ultra hiper mega.

[@juanitamariagil6227]

Adorable 🤗😍Eddi kiss me goodnight 💋

[@diogene3913]

Sorry, but I just wanted to point out that in Italian *Topo,* means *mouse.* And Gigio is his name. So in English would be *Gigio mouse.*

[@bassmaiasa1312]

I want to read a biography of Ed Sullivan.

[@DemetriusSorvo]

This isn't what I expected from the Beatles first performance on Ed Sullivan.

[@LisaAlbright]

I forgot about Topp

[@daniellavallejo7462]

Ok

[@twinmillario1452]

(0:30) Damn! That mask almost resembles from The Masked Singer!

[@jackiecervantes8673]

Topo gigio knows English 😮😮😮

[@22julip]

There were 3 networks and public tv that’s it so they had to have variety on a variety show , that’s why you won’t see this type of family programming today . Just because you can swear on tv you don’t have to . Like Curley said when the judge asked him of you’ll swear and he said no , but I know all the words . That’s class Just like in the 50s they had out of wedlock baby’s the difference is then they didn’t brag about it . That’s the main problem everyone has pushed the envelope so far there’s no place left for it to go . Have a little respect for the other person . Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.! I’ll stop preaching God bless .

[@pauldockree9915]

What the cluck?
