  • The Early History of Howdy Doody…Television's First
    1 | P a g e The Early History Of Howdy Doody…Television’s First Hit For those not old enough to remember, “The Howdy Doody Show” was much more than just Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody….it was the beginning of television as a brand new form of entertainment. It was radio with pictures and it was revolutionary. With a TV set and an antenna, suddenly the world could come to your living room. Although primitive by today’s standards, it was the hottest ticket on the planet, and Howdy Doody was the first hit show on television! Television’s second hit was also from NBC, and debuted 6 months after Howdy…it was “The Texaco Star Theater” with Milton Berle. They called Milton “Mr. Television,” because a lot of adults bought a set to see him. With a nation full of kids wanting to see Howdy though, you can rest assured; a lot of sets were bought to keep the children happy too. As is often the case with history, in its retelling, the waters get muddied and important facts become mangled. Before long, it’s hard to know if you are reading the truth or not. With that in mind, I have decided to retell the story of how it all started to the best of our ability, AND…I’m doing it with the help of one of America’s foremost authorities on Howdy Doody, Burt Dubrow. – Bobby Ellerbee / Eyes Of A Generation.com (Revised Dec. 28, 2016) http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 This is a 1952 photo of Buffalo Bob Smith with Howdy, and on the right, Bob Keeshan taking off his Clarabell makeup.
