What badge did howdy doody wear?
Howdy Doody was not a law enforcement officer of any type. He was a cowboy- in the juvenile sense of the term, he was a child character, not an adult, unlike Steve Canyon ( Officer in USAF) or Mike Mercury ( clandestine operative of something like the CIA) He operated the Supercar.
What is a howdy?
Howdy is a slang greeting based on the phrase: Howdy Doody- sometimes hyphenated, How do you do, In other words, like Greetings, Friends. the standard intro formalilty of How do you do? is somewhat Westernized, as did the TV character. The TV character and show is somewhat odd as Howdy was the personal name of the lead character, though it bears no resemblance to normal Christian prenames and surnames ( last names, not noble titles, sir?) Howdy Doody had a hokey western background oddly sans horses and gunplay- though there were Horses in the short-lived Howdy Doody comic book in the early fifties, possibly a give-away by one of the show"s sponsors- Poll Parrot shoes.
What did howdy doody live in?
The fictional town of Doodyville. It was not quite clear whether A. Howdy Doody was a child or an adult, or just what the status of Mr.Bluster was, he may have been a businessman, he was not a politician to my knowledge. ( Phineas T Bluster was his full name, more or less a Scrooge-type, but non-violent comic villain.)

Closing song of howdy doody show?
I believe you are confused with the Mickey Mouse Club ( some state originally known as DISNEYLAND) l955- in various incarnations. the Mickey Mouse club had , to borrow ecclesiastical parlance , for all intents and purposes separate Introit and Recessional theme songs- as did the more Howdy-like Winchell-Mahoney time- the WM Time"s intro theme songs was Hurray, Hurrah- it"s Winchelll-Mahoney time) the recessional was the entirely different (Friendship Song) In some ways this paralelled the Mickey Mouse club use of a decelerated parting song- rather than a revved-up march.
