I remember the opening to this kids'show.THE announcer would ask ''WHAT TIME IS IT KIDS?''''THE response ''ITS'HOWDY DOODY TIME.''OH what golden memories of one of my favorite tv shows as I grew up in the 40's.Growing up during the B/C DAYS [BEFORE COLOR TV]the program was in black and white but great entertainment to kids of my age group.BUFFALO BOB SMITH was the host.CLARABELL the clown added to the fun.AND OF course the indian lady PRINCESS SUMMER,FALL,WINTER,SPRING, AND CHIEF THUNDERTHUD.OF course HOWDY DOODY was the lead star along with many other puppets in the show.THE show ran from DECEMBER 27,1947 UNTIL SEPTEMBER 24TH,1960.THIS was truly the pioneer for other childrens'shows in later years.A wonderful show for kids gone but not forgotten as its'image still is fresh in my memory.
