Howdy Doody is beloved by people of my generation. The characters were inventive, they were funny, they taught lessons about human nature and the different kinds of of people the kids would encounter as they grew older.
The interaction between the the cast and the puppets made this exceptional with only Kula Fran and Olly having that same unique spirit. I'm writing this because the child on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is watching and screams when his grandfather shuts it off, only to have it turned on again. I only remember watching this show on Saturday mornings from 10 to 11AM. The boy on MMM is watching in the evening in 1956. That might be a small error of the show because that's when I was watching. In college in 1969 or early 70, Buffalo Bob toured campuses. The auditorium or gym was packed. Everyone loved this show.
