Well, Andy wins the 10 points for a correct response concerning
"Colonel Bleep".  

As for "Lariat Sam", his horse's name was, uh, "Tippytoes" I 
believe, and Bad Lands Meany's sidekick was ... "Bushwack".  

I think that Maynard from "Dobie Gillis" would be best described
as a beatnik:

  Dobie's Father:  Why don't you go get a job and do some work, Maynard?
  Maynard:	   WORK!!!?????

"Speed Racer" certainly had his moments -- interesting how all of the
productions from "Mushi" had similar faces on all characters -- others
included "Astro Boy" and "Kimba (the white lion)".

  Here he comes.
  Here comes Speed Racer...
  He's a deamon on wheels!
  He's a daemon and he's gonna be chasing after someone...

"The Big World of Little Atom" was indeed an educational animated
segment:

  Big world, little atom, big world little atom [continues in backround]
  
  Oh's it's the big world, of little atom,
  The [something something] world, of little atom.
  He's up in space.
  He's everyplace.
  Oh it's the big worrrrrrrrrrld... of little atom.

How about "Winky Dink and You"?  This was the show where you were
supposed to sit up against your TV and draw in stuff on the screen
(on a plastic sheet that you had taped to the screen) to help the
characters at various points.  Real healthy with those old TV's.
Good thing there were few color sets back then...
