That was pretty hard.  Googled all the way...  Now I have to dream up a question.  Be back when I think of something.

OK, I'm back with another vintage TV question.  You'll need help from a grandpa for this....

In the late 50s parents used a popular daily TV show to keep the kids occupied after school for half an hour.  The lead was a funny looking puppet reminiscent of MAD Magazine's Alfred E Newman.  I want to know the name of the human actor who played the clown and the name of the character that he  took afterward this show that entertained children for years (you won't need help for this probably).  Also, if anybody actually has ever seen it, they should be able to quote the first line of the theme song.  Not required:  Extra points!   lol

Oh, come on, I'm not ancient, and I know who Howdy Doody is!

Clarabelle Hornblow the clown was played by Bob Keeshan. My mom watched that - but I watched him as Captain Kangaroo!

Oh my god, how'd you know?  You had to ask your mom, didn't you?  I thought that would be hard for you kids.  By the way, I was one of the  kids rushing home from school to watch.  Fun memories!  Sometimes a bunch of us kids would stop at the neighbor hood grocery store, but an ice cream on a stick and all watch together.  Life was good.

OK, I'll be watching for your question and I'll get you back.

Nope, never saw it myself - I looked up a bunch of stuff on it when I was going thru my mom's things after she died and I was trying to get an appraisal on her childhood toys, including her howdy doody puppet.  So, no, I don't remember the theme song!  (I  don't think I remember the theme song from Captain Kangaroo, either!)


In 1775, a group of American sympathizers stole 100s of barrels of gunpowder and shipped it to George Washington's Continental Army. Where did they steal it from?

It was stolen from the British in Bermuda.

(By the way, I attended the Howdy Doody show many times as a child - loved that peanut gallery!)

then you must know, cat, "It's Howdy Doody Time"

JB, did you sell the Howdy Doody Puppet?  I'd buy it if it wasn't too much money.. I need a roommate.

Yup, Howdy went a long time ago, along with a ton of other things that I just didn't have room to keep.  (My mother never got rid of anything!)

cat, Bermuda is right.  Your turn!

Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf of the New Jersey State Police was officially in charge of the investigation, but Schwarzkopf, the father of 1991 Gulf War leader U.S. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, willingly ceded major responsibility for the investigation to Charles Lindbergh.
