Howdy Doody had 48 freckles, one for each state in the U.S. (Alaska and Hawaii had not become states yet). Howdy Doody was the first and most popular children's show of the 1950's! The show premiered in 1947 and Howdy and his friends on the Triple B Ranch entertained children until the show went off the air on September 24, 1960.

It was claimed the character had 48, matching the number of states and stars in the American Flag ( the continental US). this may have been augmented to 49. I do not believe the show was still one when Hawaii became Number 50- the basis for the Police drama- Hawaii 5-0 as it is the 50Th state. I understand Howdy Doody went off the air in or about l96l as a live program. this does NOT include reruns.
