Circus Boy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Circus Boy was a television series aired in prime time on both NBC and ABC from 1956 to 1958. It was then syndicated on Saturday mornings. The black-and-white half-hour comedy/adventure series starred Micky Braddock (Micky Dolenz) as 10-year-old Corky. Noah Beery Jr. played Uncle Joey and actor Robert Lowery played Big Tim Champion

[edit] Summary

After his parents, "The Flying Falcons", were killed in a high-wire accident, young Corky was adopted by Uncle Joey the Clown, and the whole Burke and Walsh Circus family. The young lad quickly found a role in the circus as water boy to Bimbo, a baby elephant whom Corky would come to consider his pet. Riding Bimbo's back, Corky dealt with adolescent problems, and helped the show's adults, including Big Tim Champion, the always-energetic Pete, and Little Tom, keep the circus in the black as the show moved from town to town each week.

• Disambiguation: Circus Boy is also the stage name of a current entertainer who also goes by the name Bobby Hunt. A performer from Chicago, "Circus Boy" entertains with a juggling act, riding his unicycle, and pedaling (according to Ripley's Believe it or Not) the world's smallest bike.
