I went to college with Howdy Doody

Actually, a college classmate of mine was the son of one of the producers of the show - last name Muir. My classmate, who was 6'7" when I knew him, was literally the model for the puppet. Didn't look much like him by the time he was in college, but still had the forehead and the freckles. (And even though he was tall he couldn't play basketball worth a darn.) There was also another puppet on the show whose name had "Muir" in it, but I don't remember it exactly. He was one of the characters who was some sort of manager, and was modeled after the dad.

I had a 5th grade classmate who was thrown out of the Peanut Gallery for yelling out "It's 5:30!" when Buffalo Bob said "Say kids, what time is it?" Man, what trouble makers our generation was. It's a good thing kids today don't do anything so disrespectful!

Gosh, am I old!
