Description:
Pull up a seat in the Peanut Gallery and enjoy some classic episodes of The Howdy Doody Show. This DVD contains a special one-hour takeoff on This Is Your Life, whose original broadcast on December 28, 1957, marked the 10th anniversary of the show featuring the freckled marionette Howdy Doody and its buckskin-clad MC, Buffalo Bob Smith. The anniversary program will serve as a great introduction to The Howdy Doody Show for those too young to recall when Howdy and Buffalo Bob were among the biggest stars on television. Those who did tune in way back when will be delighted by a parade of marionettes featuring all of Doodyville's characters. Also on the disc are three other episodes, one of which chronicles Howdy and his friends trying to form a bird-watching club, a noble effort nearly foiled by Doodyville's resident grump, Phineas T. Bluster. The shows were broadcast in glorious black and white, and the production values are rudimentary by today's standards, but the visible strings on the puppets only add to the charm. The programs even contain original commercials, and no one could extol the virtues of Hostess Twinkies like Buffalo Bob. --Robert J. McNamara
