Howdy Doody Time' ci Qtottttprttnrt latlg (Eampufi I Serving Storrs Since 1896 Wednesday. March 10. 1971 VOL. LXVTC NO. 80 STORRS, CONNECTICUT students relive past in the peanut gallery of 'howdy doody time' By PEGGY McCARTHY It was "Howdy Doody Time" last night as 600 kids with party hats, balloons and nolsemakers sat In the Von der Mehden recital hall peanut gallery. "We want Howdy" the crowd chanted while waiting for the "Howdy Doody Re- vival* to begin. Before the appearance of Buffalo Bob, star of the Howdy Doody Show from 1947 to I \ a film of the Dec. 25, 1957 Howdy wody Show was presented. It celebrated Howdy's 10th birthday. The audience watched Clarabell, Mr. Phlneas T. Bluster, Flubber Dub and all the other citizens of Doodyville wish Howdy a happy birthday. Special guest appearances were made by the winner of the "Howdy Doody Look Alike" con- test, the 10 finalists in the "Howdy Doody Smile" contest, and the first children who ever sat in the Peanut gallery on the Howdy Doody Show. And, of course, on that show, like all the others, Howdy told all the child- ren to buy the bread with the red, yellow and blue balloons on It because it helps make your body grow 12 ways.

  • 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.

  • The Origins and Earliest Surviving Live Tv Broadcast Recordings
    Television Recording Origins: Oldest Surviving Live TV Broadcast – R. Shagawat TELEVISION RECORDING – THE ORIGINS AND EARLIEST SURVIVING LIVE TV BROADCAST RECORDINGS By Robert Shagawat E Mail: [email protected] Abstract Of Information as of October 4, 2004 updated October 2010 – April 2011 1947 DuMont RA-103 TV Set Early Kinescope Recording Machine Called the Chatham (or “Doghouse”) model Introduction - Oldest Surviving Record of Live Television Program: What is the earliest surviving live television broadcast recording? It is surprising how little definitive research and solid information is available on this topic. This article seeks to answer this question, based on what we know today. Lack of Prior Research: While there has been a significant amount of research done on the oldest surviving live radio broadcast airchecks (from 1925 or earlier), there is a scarcity of comprehensive research on the earliest live TV transmission recordings that are still in existence. This dearth of information on what remains of the formative years of television was not anticipated, given the vital importance of the TV legacy to the “baby boomers” raised on the media. It is also amazing, given the relatively recent appearance of television during the 20th century (where more documentation of its earliest records would be thought to exist). Historic Means of Capturing Live Television: First of all, we must understand how early TV broadcasts could be captured in the days before videotape and later analog and digital recording methods (as will be further elaborated below). The kinescope recording was filmed from the kinescope or cathode ray tube TV receiver, where these films of live television as taken from the kinescope device were soon themselves just called “kinescopes”.
