1950s TV Series about a Circus w/Noah Beery, Jr.

[Alk8944]

This starred Noah Beery, Jr. who played Joey. There was also a young boy who was his close friend. Does anyone remember this show?

I have checked his filmography and can't find anything there! I thought the title was "Big Top" or possibly "Joey" but can't find anything in IMDB that way either. He was in an old Western titled "Escort West that was on TV a few days ago, that is what got me wondering about the circus show.

Wouldn't you know it! I have been looking for days and as soon as I look again after the above post I find it!

The show was titled "Circus Boy" and aired in 1956-1957.Noah Beery Jr. played Joey the Clown. The boy was named "Corky" and was a water boy for the elephant. Corky was played by a young Mickey Dolenz who would later be in "The Monkeys)". He was 11 when Circus Boy started.

After finding it I thought some of you might enjoy what I found.
