'60s Saturday Mornings

Having literally grown up in the 1960s, I often get nostalgic about the great shows that used to air on Saturday mornings. Some may have been forgotten, but hopefully, this will jog your memory. Have fun in 'nostalgia land'!

Whose birthday is June 23?
|
Because I was born on June 23, I wondered who else (famous folk, that is) had been born on that hot, summer's day (well, in 1957 it was, according to mother). Have fun!
