Howdy Doody Time!



December 27, 1947

"Howdy Doody," the first popular 

children's show, was first brought
to TV by "Buffalo" Bob Smith.

Howdy Doody was a puppet who 
lived in Doodyville, a circus town 
populated by people and puppets.

Children sat in the bleachers' 
"Peanut Gallery" and participated 
in the show's activities, which included
songs, stories, and films. Howdy 
Doody should not be confused 
with Professor Howdy your editor.
