Don't you just love non-sequitors? I do. So whatever became of Howdy Doody, while we're at it, and does his disappearance from pop culture herald the coming of the Last Days?

Glad to see that both Ed and Ted Mack have moved on to *other* stations, thank you...

I never new Howdy D. was part of pop culture, i.e. same league as Andy Warhol. I thought he was just some goofy marinet that had his own t.v. program.

But i'm sure L.H. the disappearance of Howard the Turtle and Michelle Finney have something to do with the arrival of the oncoming Apocalypse.

I agree wholeheartedly when it comes to Howard the Turtle. No doubt about it.

I wasn't quite sure he was alive when his TV show was on the air. Always felt he had a mediocre taxidermist.

F Ted said, "Excellent punctuation so far chaps."

Did you mean, "Excellent punctuation so far, chaps."?

Yeah, Dick, that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the thread title. "The Great Stone Face." Perhaps it was the obvious symptoms of rigor mortis and the tag on his toe that created the impression.

They shoulda used Ed as a zombie on one of those kiddie haunted house shows. He woulda been perfect. He coulda been billed as "The stiff that walks".

Howdy had to leave us. Doody calls, you know.

But being a great Buster Keaton fan, there is but ONE "Great Stone Face" thank you.

(Not counting Easter Island, of course).

I can't really recall. Didn't he have a bolt through his neck?

Or was that someone else?

Aw, cut him a little slack. He had African-American artists on his show at a time when others wouldn't. He introduced the Beatles to most of the USA. He was a complete original. Can you imagine such a bizarre bird making it past all the ratings-o-meters these days for even so much as a pilot show?
