The Mickey Mouse Club is an American variety television show that aired intermittently from 1955 to 1959. The show was revived three times after its initial 1955–1959 run on ABC, first from 1977 to 1979 for first-run syndication as The New Mouse Mouse Club. The original run featured a regular, but ever-changing cast of mostly teen performers. The main cast members were called Mouseketeers, and they performed in a variety of musical and dance numbers.
