“Vintage” HOWDY DOODY “Patch”
Excellent Condition (some minor staining)
Who among today’s older adults can’t recall places like Doodyville, Pioneer Village or the Peanut Gallery? Or how about unforgettable characters like Flub-a-Dub (a creature made from the parts of seven different animals) and a rather dim-witted carpenter named Dilly Dally?
For 13 years, starting in 1947 and ending in 1960, The Howdy Doody Show was a true TV phenomenon. Remember Clarabell, Chief Thunderthud, Princess Summerfall Winterspring and the evil and cantankerous, Phineas T. Bluster?
Despite those great memories, comparatively few of us recall the brief period of when Howdy wasn’t Howdy. It all began before the first episode, when Bob Smith (soon to be Buffalo Bob) was hosting a kids’ radio show in New York called “Triple B Ranch.”
