The Mickey Mouse Club debuted 55 years ago today...

Now if only Disney could find a little time one ONE of their channels to bring back Vault Disney so we could see it again...

Why? Because We Still Like You: An Oral History of the Mickey Mouse Club by Jennifer Armstrong.

pub. date October 29

Product Description
This book will tell the behind-the-scenes story of how The Mickey Mouse Club paved the way for all that came after, from its humble beginnings as a marketing ploy, through its short but mesmerizing run, to the numerous resurrections that made it one of television's first true cult hits--all through the recollections of those regular kids-turned-stars who made it a phenomenon. It will reveal, for the first time ever, the untold stories of Annette, Darlene, Cubby and Karen, Bobbie and the rest of the beloved cast. It will explore, through the reminiscences of former fans who grew up to be some of television's finest minds, what made the show so special. And it will examine why the formula the creators of the show invented is more relevant than ever, and whether we'll ever see yet another Club for a new generation.

I love, love, love the Mickey Mouse Club!! It's one of the shows I miss the most from the "old school" Disney Channel.

I even paid ninety-nine cents on iTunes for The Mickey Mouse Club opening theme song: "We're the Mouseketeers, We wanna say 'Hello' ...". My kids love it. Every time, Roy and Jimmy introduce themselves, the kids crack up.

They look great! I loved the MMC. Wish they'd bring back the original MMC on any channel at any time of day or night.
Here's a clip that brought back a lot of memories when I saw it.
