A silly question concerning the Howdy Doody show.

That kid in the photo is probably about 20 today and is probably in therapy for several days a week. She will try to understand the nature of her uncontrollable fear the rest of her life.


Its called a EXSANGUIN ATION of clowns.

I once had some DOODYVILLE puppets that my gramom bought me (she was an old Polack first generwtion immigraqnt who thought everything on tV was marvelous).
My doodyville puppets included Mr Bluste, Dilly Dally and Flu Ba Dhub. My mom liked to have them on my dresser so I could see em at nioght. RIIIIGHT. Seeing 3 pairs of moving eyes watching you until you , in an unguarded moment< fall asleep and they come to your bed and KILL YOU>

It's a good thing they didn't have Homey the Clown on that show. He hit people and threatened to kick asses.

i miss homey...

oh, they'll do worse than kill you.

first they remove your soul by sucking it through your eyeballs, then they stick it in blender with a bunch of jagged granite pebbles.

Whenever your soul stops screeching, they turn the blender on for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, they kill you and turn you into a zombie.

nice story...I never got to watch Howdy Doody, I came in around the time of Bozo the clown who was played by Willard Scott in Washington DC.
Willard was such a friendly dufus you just couldn't be scared

Willard Scott was the scariest weatherman I ever saw, well there was weatherman Bowman who was also the mayor of Littleton Colorado but he wasn't really scary he was usually just drunk. Both my mom and I loved weatherman Bowman he drew very pretty clouds.

Weatherman Bowman

What, are you kidding?

Look at all that red around his mouth. That's not grease paint son, that's blood.



Re weathermen....the scariest one of all time had to be Tex Antoine.

I was watching the weather that night when he came forth with his infamous quip "Words of Confucius: 'If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it.'" right after a story about the rape of a kid was aired.

He was quickly replaced.

Here he is with his mascot "Uncle Weatherby"

Im not going to sleep tonight, Ill be looking for clowns and insane weathermen.

THE answer was ROBERT GOULET
