Synopsis
Say Kids! What Time Is It? is the first backstage history of The Howdy Doody Show, which transfixed children of the American Baby Boom between 1947 and 1960. Author Stephen Davis, the son of Howdy writer and director Howard Davis, provides an authoritative look at the glamorous early days of television in New York and the improbable cast that populated Doodyville - Buffalo Bob, Princess Summerfall Winterspring, Clarabell, and Chief Thunderthud - whose daily on-camera adventures are indelibly branded on the consciousness of a generation. Davis also tells the real life stories of Bob Smith, Robert Keesan, Judy Tyler, Dayton Allen, and the other bright new faces of the 1950s who made Howdy Doody the first hit show on network television. Say Kids! What Time Is It? chronicles all of Howdy's dramatic crises: the 1952 cast rebellion, the firing of the first Clarabell, Buffalo bob's near-fatal heart attack, the desertion of the beautiful Princess to star with Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock, and the final crushing ratings defeat by the Mouse from California. Say Kids! What Time Is It? is an irresistible and sometimes shocking trip behind the scenes of collective memory for Howdy fans everywhere.

From Library Journal
The documentation of popular TV programs from the 1950s and '60s has become something of a growth area in publishing, with monographs on shows as diverse as The Honeymooners and The Outer Limits . Say Kids! is an insider's account of another such program, The Howdy Doody Show , which the author's father directed between 1952 and 1956. (The author appeared as part of the Peanut Gallery during those years.) Liberally illustrated, the book is a funny, well-written portrait of that era's live television and of a type of children's programming seldom seen today. Recommended for all media collections. A.J. Wright, Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham
