Howdy Doody
An episode of the 1950’s Children’s TV shows "Howdy
Doody", originally aired April 6, 1951. In this episode, the gang searches
for an Oil Well.
Howdy
Doody was an American children's television program that was created and
produced by E. Roger Muir and telecast on the NBC. It was a pioneer in
children's television programming and set the pattern for many similar shows.
The
character first came to life from the creative mind of Bob Smith, who created
Howdy Doody during his days as a radio announcer. Bob Smith, the show's host,
was dubbed "Buffalo Bob" early in the show's run. As both the character and television program
grew in popularity, demand for Howdy Doody related merchandise began to
surface.
A
distinctive feature was the Peanut Gallery.
Each show began with Buffalo Bob asking, "Say kids, what time is it?"
and the kids yelling in unison, "It's Howdy Doody Time!" Then the
kids all sang the show's theme song:
It’s
Howdy Doody time
It’s
Howdy Doody time
Bob
Smith and Howdy too
Say
“Howdy do” to you
Let’s
give a rousing cheer
’Cause
Howdy Doody’s here
It’s
time to start the show
So
kids, let’s go!
