a trip down memory lane?

By the time we got t.v. and Howdy doody came to t.v I was too old for the show and I have never liked clowns so would never watch it.

Long before we got a TV in the little town where I lived as a kid, we went to a bigger city to visit some cousins. I asked if I could watch their TV because I'd never seen TV. Howdy Doody was on. It didn't matter to me that it was a show for younger kids. I sat down on the floor and watched the whole thing. My cousins called me a baby for doing that.

Yes its about how the howdy doody did a show

Yes, I think it followed Coukla, Fran and Ollie. I remember, Princess summer, fall, winter, spring, the flubadub, Mr. Bluster, Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle. I also watched the Pinky Lee show.

"What time is it kids-- It's Howdy Doody Time."

I loved Howdy Doody with Cowboy Bob and the clown, I think, Clarabelle.

I don't think it show here. I do remember a clip from it though,For reason a during a TV show there as there was someone singing 'I't's howdy doody time,it's howy doody' I know anything else about it

I was too old to appreciate the show when we got TV. But for nothing

else to watch that time of day, I would occasionally watch with my twin

sisters, who sat in matching red chairs, glued to the tube. I got familiar

with the marionette characters, as well as Clarabell. Who never uttered

a sound, and honked a horn to show his appreciation of things. Later I

learned it was Bob Keeshan, behind the clown costume, long after he

had his own show, "Captain Kangaroo" with Mr Green Jeans. That was

another favorite show of my sisters. I stayed tuned for the Mickey Mouse

Club (the original), and later, when we got it, American Bandstand, that

was geared to teenagers. Early childrens' programs were so simple, but

they were genuine, kid pleasers. There was nothing to figure out, so we

would just sit and be entertained.

I don't know if I remember it so much as remember hearing about it when I was little. I THINK I remember watching it. Wasn't Willard Scott the original Clarabelle? Or was he Bozo? I get them mixed up, LOL. I do rememer very distinctly watching Romper Room, and always being disappointed when Miss Fran (or whatever her name was) never said my name when looking into the magic mirror. That's what you get when your name is unusual.

With Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle? (That spelling is probably terribly wrong.)

Nope, never heard of it.

Yes, not many times but I do remember Ding Dong School also at that time.
