Jeez, you must be young! I remember sitting in the TV room as a little kid watching Howdy, Buffalo Bob, Clarabelle Clown and the gang at about 5PM on weekdays. That it's an heirloom from you grandmother...yikes!! LOL! Btw, it's Doody, not Dooty, but how would you know?? ;-)
Right, java. I remember when there was only one TV in town. It was at a good friends Grandmothers. If we were good, we could go there after school and watch Howdy Doody.
