Howdy Doody mss

Historical Note

The Howdy Doody Show aired from 1947-1960. It was the first television network show to run five consecutive days a week, the first to broadcast in color, and it won the George Foster Peabody Award "for outstanding children's program during 1948." This was the first Peabody Award, originally for radio programming, that went to a television feature.
