The Howdy Doody Times She was a princess named Summer Fall Winter Spring and all the puppets not to mention the wannabe cowboy with the too-clean too-fringed buckskins and the mobster ducktails under his spotless ten-gallon, they all swore she was beautiful in a cartoon PG-07 way. As for me, I wondered why Bob never went near her on the set, because even a kid knew even in fifties black-and-white and even though she was Irish or maybe Canadian or New York that she could have been what his whole show was about. But he was old Buffalo Bob and she was the Indian maiden, and I finally know why when they named her they thought they ought to say Spring last. ~~J [This message has been edited by James_A_Fraser (01-31-2006 04:23 PM).] |

Mental typo~~ and to think I actually went to sites about that show to be sure I had the look of it right, but missed my biggest glitch! |

Perhaps I was deprived as a child, never getting to watch... but that deprivation is ended... for through your words, I see, I hear... I'm there. *S* And that, my friend... is poetry.... FINE poetry. *S* |

I loved Howdy Doody and the Mickey Mouse Club. Days of such sweet innocence. I sometimes get confused about WHAT TIME IT IS... But, Wednesdays are still... ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN DAY! Wonderful memories. Thank you. |
