There was one other Davy series: DC and the Creek Indian War. I don't know if DC Goes to Congress was another series or part of an existing one. And the theme song, if you didn't know, had over 100 verses, around 120 IIRC. Memorize that!<br /><br />Anyway, swell review. It makes me want to play with my Davy Crockett playset.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832669035610968182.post-15465872284084467642016-09-22T09:52:06.577-07:002016-09-22T09:52:06.577-07:00Love it more every time I watch it!

I loved those TV shows and watched 'em over and over.<br /><br />I believe Kresge's was the forerunner of K-Mart. I remember when there was one in downtown Fort Worth, but we didn't get there very often.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832669035610968182.post-40870623399140406862016-09-19T09:21:24.968-07:002016-09-19T09:21:24.968-07:00I too watched this jem and realized that when I wa...I too watched this jem and realized that when I was a kid (also 8 or 9), I wanted to be Mike Fink. The whole riverboat concept seemed like great fun. Other kids might want to ride horses and run around fighting Indians... I wanted to ride the river!jhegenbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082204163626888629noreply@blogger.com
