56 years ago this week, ABC debuted the original "Mickey Mouse Club" back in 1955 and it will continue until 1959. Over the years, it was syndicated in reruns until the 1970's. By 1977, it was returned to TV in syndication under the new title "The New Mickey Mouse Club" with different Mouseketeers. By 1989, it was returned once again as "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club" and it was aired on the Disney Channel with new Mouseketeers, but in later seasons, newer members joined the show including Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Both before they enter the music scene. The show was renamed in the later season under the title MMC. Disney Channel ran that show for 5 seasons until it was canceled in 1995. We're not going to do 3 different versions of the show, but we're going to take you back to 1995 where we will present to you a TV special called "The Mickey Mouse Club".

This special was aired on the Disney Channel back in 1995, just shortly after MMC was canceled, and it gives you a inside story about the original Mouseketeers that they are on that show. It was narrated by Frankie Avalon, he was a friend of Annette Funicello. He did many of his hits including the classic "Venus" and other songs.

I hope you enjoy this special. I used to like that show, but I'm not a huge fan of the show, because I'm too old for that. Here it is in its entirety.
