As part of the effort by Taft Broadcasting to expand and enhance local children's TV programs, a commitment was made to produce a daily program for pre-school children. Kids' Break was the first show that didn't feature Captain 20 or Bozo. Instead, it was hosted by a big green puppet, Howard Huge. Howard hosted a series of short mini-programs, each hosted by a different puppet character. There was Timmy Time, Madame Memory, Nick Numbers, Chef Combo, Manners the Butler, and Milton M. Milton. Each program also had a "feature" that usually focused on "how things work."
