I vaguely remember this … lol. I have a dvd with 7 or 8 tv episodes of Howdy Doody and looking back on them, I never realised until now just how scarey looking they (are) were. Now, this has made me decide to hunt up another show from back then, and when I do, I’ll join in this fun. 8=)

I could barely remember this show until I found the video.  I was more of a Howdy Doody fan and this looks like a poor competitor. How simplistic it all was! And some of these characters could scare a little kid to death!! You can find a lot of these oldies on youtube.  Remember Winky Dink? I’ve a blog on that too! http://sanssouciblogs.multiply.com/journal/item/95/21._Back_to_the_Future_The_First_Video_Game

Here is a bit of another offering … more regional, and timecoding may remember her as well.
Sally Starr born Sally Beller, January 25, 1923 changed her name to Starr in 1941, a once-blond cowgirl who hosted an afternoon children’s program for Philadelphia station WFIL-TV (now WPVI) from the 1950’s to 1971.
Her program was usually known as “Popeye Theater” or a variation, which presented Popeye cartoons and 3 Stooges shorts. For a time, she was also hostess of “Starr Theater,” which ran after ‘Popeye Theater’ and presented a cowboy movie. The program also ran from the 1950’s through 1971.
She was dressed in full cowgirl attire, including gun and holsters. Her opening line was, “Hope you feel as good as you look, ’cause you sure look good to your gal Sal.” She closed with “May the Good Lord be blessing you and your Family, Bye for now!”
Sally hosted a number of guest visitors including The Three Stooges (many time they were on her show), Colonel Sanders (yes the Kentucky Fried Colonel), plus local legends, Chief Halftown and Dick Clark of American Bandstand fame, of which went onto a huge career.
She was popular at her many public appearances, including many of her horses, Pal, Silver, Cane, and Rusty. Sally, now 85, as of this year, she continues to make public appearances near her home in southern New Jersey.
Besides her TV career and recording career, Sally appeared in the Three Stooges film The Outlaws Is Coming (1965) in the role of sharpshooter Belle Starr. It was the last feature film to be made by the Stooges at Columbia Pictures in Hollywood. She also appeared in “The In Crowd,” “Mannequin on the Move” and “Holiday Journey.”
Sally was also a recording artist, having performed with the legendary Bill Haley and the Comets, which by the way, Bill was a neighbor of mine in my hometown as I was growing up. She sold thousands of records under the Clymax label, which was one of Haley’s local companies.
She has written her autobiography, titled “Me, Thee, & TV.”
Her love for kids moved Sally to establish a group of ranches for abused children, each known as “Sally Starr’s Bar None Ranch. As Sally often said to the kids from Wilkes-Barre to Lancaster to Cape May, “Love, Luck and Lollipops.”
This was the only decent clip I could find on Sally. She is still currently active with her Bar None Ranch’s, occasionally does  personal appearances. But ya know, I think I’ve found my new sign away on my friends pages … “Love, Luck and Lollipops.”
