The NBC 'Peanut Gallery' in later episodes was a tough ticket. Many, if not most, members of the audience were populated by children of NBC executives and 30 Rock NBC employees. (Susan)Signourney Weaver was the daughter of "Pat' Weaver, so she appeared frequently, as did Harry Shearer and other famous East Coast baby boomers with NBC connections.

During the first two years of the show, it was officially titled "PUPPET PLAYHOUSE". This is an opening from early 1949, before Bob Smith became "Buffalo Bob" {note Howdy calls him "Mr. Smith"}, and he played his own opening theme on piano [later, Doc Whipple performed it on the organ, just offstage]. Bob {"Captain Kangaroo"} Keeshan is "Clarabell".
These kids are now grandparents. Haha!

I was in the first row of the Peanut Gallery. Not in this clip. lol. Now I have to scour all the Howdy Doody clips to see if I see myself. I actually remember a lot about that day. It might have been the highlight of my five years at that time on earth.
