Howdy Doody - Andy Handy (1/4)

I included an NBC promo, believed to be from 1949, at the beginning of this episode.

Buffalo Bob invents the Do-It-Yourself Soda Fountain and manufacturing tycoon Andy Handy is coming to buy it, if it works. When Phineas and Corny hear about this Phineas invents the Do-It-Yourself Dry Cleaner and Corny invents the Do-It-Yourself Shopper. Andy Handy has his hands full with all of these new inventions.

Clarabelle plays a gag on Corny and Buffalo Bob while they try to play a song on a balloon.

Trivia:

- Air date is believed to be May 4, 1957.

- In the opening this is stated to be episode 2,166.

- There were a total of 2,543 episodes.

- This episode includes two integrated commercials (Wonder Bread and Hostess Cup Cakes).

- Howy Doody had 48 freckles, one for each state of the union.

The opening sequence wasn't a "promo"; that was the end of a January 1949 episode noting the fact that NBC had managed to reach all the way to the Midwest [St. Louis!] for live telecasting (some affiliates had to depend on kinescope film prints of "live" shows because they weren't part of the connection, or they carried MORE than one network's schedule, as they were often the only station in their area). By September 1951, they {and other networks} were able to telecast from "coast-to-coast".

Hmmm, I see your point but I did write that it was "an NBC promo." I didn't say it was a Howdy Doody promo. It seems that NBC was promoting its growth.

I now realize why NBC has hired Chelsea Clinton. They are thinkign of bringing back Howdy Doody. Notice the resemblance?

@fromthesidelines This was the first kids show ever apparantly.

@fromthesidelines I was only impressed to see my hometown listed on there since that was the ONLY station in town back then (hopefully they aired the program live then).
