The Mickey Mouse Club

The Mickey Mouse Club was Walt Disney's first continuing television series. Launched in 1955, the series used the image of star Mickey Mouse in introductions and occasional cartoon shorts, but the majority of the program was devoted to the Mouseketeers, including a young Annette Funicello. Serials (such as The Hardy Boys). The series was revived in 1977 and 1989.

The animated opening sequence of both the original and the 1977 revival series always concluded with Donald Duck attempting to strike a gong. Invariably, something would go wrong -- the gong would crumble to pieces, or turn into a pie or a water balloon, or Donald would be electrocuted upon striking it, etc.The Mickey Mouse Club coined the term "Mouseketeers," a joking reference to the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers. The term was picked up by the Wiggles in the Episode "The Wiggly Problem" as the Wiggleketeers. Instead of mouse ears, however, all of the children wore Hot Potatoes. The Maddieketeers were introduced in "the Last of Wee Wiggle".

Maddie & Friends continued the "-keteers Club" like the Deniseketeers, the Derekketeers, the Aaronketeers, the Rustyketeers, and the Alexketeers
