The studio audience ( children) sat on rows of seemingly foldable bleachers like those used in athletic events. the spectators and the seating arrangement- by inference were termed the Peanut Gallery. at times members of the audience were referred to as peanuts, do not confuse with Charles Schultz" comic strip of that name. From what I am able to understand they were spectators and not paid cast members akin to the Mousketeers of the Mickey Mouse Club. They did not have any special costume, uniform or headgear, unlike the Mouse headgear.

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.

Was there a tv show around 1948 named Frontier Playhouse?
Yes. My family got our first TV in 1951 when I was five. I lived in the Philadelphia area. There was a show on called Frontier Playhouse. Can't remember if it was on around lunch time or dinner time. I think they showed short westerns like Red Ryder and Buster Crabbe's Billy the Kid series. I found this question when I was looking for more information on the show.
