Howdy Doody Show

Howdy Doody was on TV for 13 years and had over 2000 episodes, so you would have thought that many would be out on DVD. Unfortunately, only one DVD set was put out in 2008 of 40 of the best episodes.

I have a collection of 20 shows from 1949 to 1959. I have numbered them 1-20 just for identification purposes, they are in date order, but there are many gaps.

Howdy Doody is an American children's television program (with circus and Western frontier themes) that was created and produced by E. Roger Muir[1] and telecast on the NBC network in the United States from December 27, 1947 until September 24, 1960. It was a pioneer in children's television programming and set the pattern for many similar shows. One of the first television series produced at NBC in Rockefeller Center, in Studio 3A, it was also a pioneer in early color production as NBC (at the time owned by TV maker RCA) used the show in part to sell color television sets in the 1950s.
