Remember - IT'S HOWDY DOODY TIME

[packman]

Stumbled across it in web surfing, and brought back a lot of memories and a tear or two for simpler times

1. I remember. But don't tell anyone.

2. Yep I was born in 1948 watched it after school. That and

Captain Video and a local Seaweed Sam. It's 5 bells time for Seaweed Sam.

7. Same here I cried through the last show

Howdy Doody was a bit part of my childhood too.

I still remember the names of the characters.

OK am I mis remembering but did Mr Bluster have a twin brother who was not a grouch?

My favorite was Flubadub!

[Cicada]

3. Yes. I bought Fifth Avenue candy bars because of the show

The test pattern with the Indian Chief also brings back memories

I was really into it.

4. That was terrific, thanks. I remember when we got our first TV I think it was around 1954

My brother had just started first grade and I was home by myself so I looked forward to the TV. Also used to watch Bandstand, it was a local Philadelphia show. I did remember a lot of Howdy Doody, but I’d forgotten so much more. It’s interesting that Sesame Street seems to owe a lot to Howdy Doody

5. It's Howdy Doody time!

I was the highlight of my day!

6. I loved the Flub- a- Dub puppet and remember crying when the show ended in 1960

but thankfully we had Captain Kangaroo then too.

8. I wouldn't have missed it.

Neither would my grandfather, but he'd have died before admitting it. Ah, the memories...black and white Sylvania TV with "Halolight." It was still playing just fine when we replaced it in 1968 with a Curtis Mathes color TV. There will never be another Howdy Doody. Thanks for sharing, packman.
