Circus Boy was an American adventure family western that aired in prime time on NBC, and then on ABC, from 1956 to 1957.

[1] Set in the late 1890s, the title of the series refers to a boy named Corky.

After his parents, "The Flying Falcons," were killed in a trapeze accident, young Corky (Micky Dolenz – billed at the time as Mickey Braddock)[2] was adopted by Joey the Clown (Noah Beery, Jr.), and the whole Burke and Walsh Circus family.

Riding Bimbo's back, Corky dealt with adolescent problems, and helped the show's adults including Joey, owner/promoter Big Tim Champion (Robert Lowery) and head canvasman Pete (Guinn Williams), keep the circus successful as the traveling show moved from town to town each week.

Several sources erroneously list these three, as well as Billy Barty from Episodes 1 and 2, as series regulars.
