Product description:

The Howdy Doody Show made its debut on television in 1947. When The Howdy Doody Show first aired, there were only 20,000 American homes with television sets and NBC only had stations in six television markets. The show was credited as a major factor in the growth of NBC. The Howdy Doody Show went on to air 2,543 episodes, before running its final episode on September 24, 1960.

The Howdy Doody Show set numerous benchmarks for television. It was the first network kids show to air five days a week, the first show on the air each day (it was preceded by the network's color pattern), the first television show ever broadcast in color, and the first show ever to air in more than 1,000 continuous episodes. While Howdy and his friend s entertained American children, they also sold television sets to American parents and demonstrated the potential of the new medium to advertisers.

      I know a "old lady" (ME!) who never missed an episode of Howdy Doody. I had a Howdy Doody Doll which I loved and cared for. When I outgrew "Howdy" - my Mom gave away my doll. I was sooo disappointed. Oh, how I wish I had it now. This would be a real memory jogger.

      In 1955 Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle make a live appearance at my old movie house. That was one of my happiest memories as a child. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
