Excellent idea to do this for your dad. Hope he enjoyed it thoroughly. Well researched, I thought, in spite of some of the comments you've gotten.

Interesting, I was born in 1947 in South Australia.

@ESHbyESH Then, in that case your recreation is politically correct and therefore doesn't reflect a real newscast from 1947. If people can't accept how the past was, then they are ignorant to history. Negro is not a bad word nor derogatory. UNCF still uses the word "negro" in their title. It's time to stop caving in to PC.

The "nationwide survey" of 113,597 doctors that R.J. Reynolds initially conducted in 1947 was "compromised" by the fact that ALL the doctors in that survey were sent free samples of Camels before the question "What cigarette do YOU smoke, Doctor?" was officially asked. Now, how do YOU think they would have answered that question if they hadn't received any samples?

"HOWDY DOODY" originally appeared as "PUPPET PLAYHOUSE" when it premiered on December 27, 1947. It wasn't titled "HOWDY DOODY" until early '49.

That was cool. I'll have to make one thses for my mom. 1935.

what are the songs played in the video?
Nice but no cigar. In 1947, Jackie Robinson would not have been referred to the first "African American". he would have been referred to as the first Negro. No one used "African American" in 1947.

True, but I wasn't going to go there. Cigarette ads on a family program are one thing, but if I used that term, I'd have all sorts of hate posts against me here.
