• Well even though I was a girl and not a boy, I wanted to be Cuffy, too! Either that, or I just had a crush on him (along with all the other little boy heroes of '50s TV shows). I could not remember what the little kid's name was until I found this website today. I don't remember as much about this show as I do others like Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and Leave it to Beaver, but I do remember that I enjoyed watching it. Imagine a time when wholesomeness ruled the airwaves, imagination was more important than crudeness, and bad grammar, bad manners and bad morals were NOT things to which we aspired. Pretty much, people knew what was expected of them as a productive member of society, and bringing shame on your family was unthinkable.
