Hiya Kids, It's Andy's Gang!

thanks asshole. this is why my dad is twisted in the head.

(This REALLY dates me!) When I was a kid my mother took me to NBC Studios on the corner of Sunset & Vine in Hollywood. I was in the audience and saw an episode of Andy's Gang performed. All I remember of the show is Froggy the Gremlin -- a tiny green figure on stage from where I was in the audience. It was the first TV show I ever attended. The historic NBC Studios on Sunset were torn down to be replaced by a Home Savings & Loan, when NBC opened their new color studios in Burbank. ...Rowby

1955-1960 with host Andy Divine,my 1958 NYC TV guide shows this bieng on Saturday 8;30 AM on channel 4 . I watched it in those years. After watching an entire show, i had to find a Bugs Bunny cartoon to get back into reality. It still has that '' somethings not right here '' air about it.

I'd heard of this show spoken of as a legend of weirdness! I'm guessing at least part of it was live, maybe the opening and closing host segments and most was filmed and shown to a live audience? That's how Amos & Andy was done -- the show itself was filmed, but for broadcast was played before an actual audience to get the live reaction.

But of course, you can do just about anything with a Magic Twanger!

The Buster Brown seen here appears to have been a midget. Apparently, midgets were hired to portray the comic strip character as a marketing tool for Buster Brown shoes.

omg, my hair is really gray now but I was a kid sitting in front of our black/white tv watching this LOL

I read that the shows were filmed sans audience.

I remember this show as a kid. Now that I look at it did Andy perform in front of a live audience or did they film the kids separately and edit them in?

I believe it was edited, I do, I do.

Hey, I got this tape to.. I bet that Froggy has something to do with this !!!
