Who was howdy doodys best parner and host on the t.v show in the 50's?
The host and in effect M.C. of the program was ( Buffalo) Bob Smith, not to be confused with the perhaps better known western showman- Buffalo Bill Cody.For some odd reason Howdy was banned in out household, but I was allowed to watch most cartoons, a good deal of science-fiction and such things as Topper, as well as the usual cartoons . I heard the theme song enough, but was never permitted to watch the show. Years later I found out a housemaid who was about my age had the same prohibition when she was a kid- she said her family did not approve/

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.
How do you respond to howdy?
