Kukla, Fran and Ollie

Burr Tillstrom said: KFO is not a spectacular, nor is it a situation comedy.  It is not a children’s show, nor is it a culture-conscious program for intellectual adults. It has a magic of its own which enchants not only the friends who watch it, but all of us who are responsible for its creation. It seems to attract all ages and all kinds of minds. We’ve never expected the largest audience in television, but we’ve had a consistently loyal and strong audience of moderate size. 

Kukla, Fran and Ollie have quiet voices and gentle ways. If we have any purpose on the American scene, it is to satirize in a kindly way, our lives, the lives of people everywhere, to kid some of the little annoyances and foibles that often grow out of proportion in the world today. We comment on what we see, and give our impressions of what we think and feel about contemporary happenings and people. We don’t try to educate, we don’t claim any overwhelming philosophical undertones.  We only hope to entertain.
