The Howdy Doody Show

Chapter 3

The one, the only, the original. I find it hard to believe that anyone hasn’t heard of, let alone seen, this legendary show featuring Buffalo Bob Smith operating a marionette that would entertain all the children. I can’t even imagine the anticipation children had when they screamed “It’s Howdy Doody time!” This particular show had a fun story involving Howdy in “marble” debt and making a deal with Mr. Bluster to do an act as compensation.

“The HOWDY DOODY Show” was the first network kids show to run 5 days a week, the first network show of the day (in the beginning it was preceded by the daily test pattern), the first television show ever broadcast in color, and the the first show ever to air more than 1,000 continuous episodes. In December of 1947, when Buffalo Bob Smith (born Robert Schmidt on 11/27/17) created and aired HOWDY DOODY, there were only 20,000 American homes that even had television sets. NBC only had six stations in the beginning, and HOWDY DOODY is credited as a major factor in the growth and popularity of that network. From the original show’s inception on December 27, 1947 until it’s final airing on NBC on December 30, 1960, HOWDY DOODY visited our homes 2,543 times.

Captain Z-RO

Episode 8: William Tell

Captain Z-Ro and Jet are among the spectators when William Tell shoots the apple off his son’s head.

Somewhere, in the remote, uncharted regions of the earth, stands the laboratory of Captain Z-ro.
In this secret location, known only to a few in the outside world, Captain Z-ro and his associates experiment in Time and Space.
The laboratory, auxiliary buildings, air strip and rocket platform are occupied primarily by Captain Z-ro, Jet, his teen-age assistant and by Micro, Tetro, Arcro and others.
Captain Z-ro has developed a Time Machine (based on projections of factual theories, as are all of his developments) consisting of many components, including a Time Screen, Materialization Chamber, Language Rectifier and a sound wave segregator. These items are developed in the series as are the Microfile, Sonic Disintegrator, Brain Wave Analyzer, Gravity Levitator and many others.
Captain Z-ro not only explores space and becomes involved with adventures on other planets, but is able to travel back and forth in time.
Captain Z-RO and his sidekick Jet travel through the past in their time shifting rocket ship, chasing villains and teaching the history of the United States and it’s colorful heroes. Captain Z-RO started as a 15 minute live show airing on KRON TV in San Francisco, CA in November, 1951, as a weekly series. From 1953 to 54, the 15 minute live weekly show aired on KTTV, Los Angeles, for 26 weeks. Then for it’s forth season, the show went to tape for 26 half hour episodes in 1954-55, filmed by the San Francisco group, Captain Z-RO Corporation. In 1955, the show enjoyed some syndication around the country winning national awards for being a top quality kids show, but lack of experience by the distributor eventually lead to the shows demise in 1956.
