God, I almost forgot about Willie Whistle, Rex Trailer, Major Mudd and Bozo. I had the joy as a child of being on Bozo's Big Top and the Major Mudd show.
One thing a try to (constantly) expose my neices and nephews to is "Animal Planet" shows. Not the stupid animal tricks or home videos, but the actual shows about animals.
Seeing that the odds of these kids getting to experience wildlife outside of a zoo is becoming a rarity these days, I figure if I pique their interest now as children, they'll do more exploring on their own. Plus by showing and explaining to them that not all creatures are "monsters" they'll hopefully develope a better respect for the wildlife they do encounter.
