HOWDY DOODY
Volume #2
Howdy Doody the freckle-faced marionette
One of earliest and most popular Children’s TV show
The original show ran from 1947 to 1960
Perhaps some of names below sound familiar?
Buffalo Bob Smith
Clarabell the Clown (Bob Keeshan till the end of 1952)
Chief Thunderthud
Princess Summerfall Winterspring
Dilly Dally
Heidy Doody
Flub-a-Dub
Mayor Phineas
Peanut Gallery
The quality of these is best described as Watch-able-
There are some problems: minor jumping, brightness, some parts where the sound and picture are out of sync
They are still watch-able but I don’t want anyone to expect DVD quality from the 1950s
Perhaps better way to describe them might be:
If you saw these when you were a kid you can live with the imperfections
If you’ve just heard about this show and aren’t old enough to have seen it in the 1950s you may find them Un-Watchable!
The Commercials, done by the cast, as usual for the times are intact
DVD has an interactive menu for easy viewing
This Volume contains:
An Early Show with what appears to be Bob Keeshan
in a role other then Clarabell the Clown
Two Episodes from the mid 1950s
From the Early 1950s Show with a Circus Theme
