The main show was made up of several sketches performed by the Mouseketeers, a troupe of child/teen performers led by the adult "Head Mouseketeer" Jimmie Dodd, who was assisted by "Big Mouseketeer" Roy Williams, and Bob Amsberry for the first two seasons. Each day had a central theme, such as Music or the Circus. Interspersed with the sketches were several serials, most famously one based on ''Literature/TheHardyBoys''. Several of the Mousketeers later made it big, including Creator/AnnetteFunicello, Don Agrati (a.k.a. Don Grady of ''Series/MyThreeSons''), Johnny Crawford (''Series/TheRifleman''), Paul Petersen (''The Donna Reed Show'') and Dickie Dodd (a.k.a. Dick Dodd, drummer for The Standells of "Dirty Water" fame; no relation to Jimmie).

* VocalEvolution: Meta-example, though with quotation marks on "Evolution". Walt Disney reprised his role of Mickey Mouse for the '50s show, but his falsetto voice had ''clearly'' worn out due to a combination of rustiness, older age, and years of smoking. Thus, Mickey sounds less energetic and almost monotonous as a result.
