Sorry Allan but I missed Rootie Kazootie up there. I remember he played his kazoo (kazootie) and he had a dog (Pooch?) and his special girl was Polka Dottie or something like that. There was a bad guy too anmed Poison Sumac or something like that too.......Never was a biggie for me, but I do remember bits and pieces. My favorite of the puppet types including Howdy Doody was "Kookla, Fran, and Ollie."Spaw
