Summary
A vivid and nostalgic deep dive into one of America's earliest and most beloved children’s television shows, Say Kids! What Time Is It? by Stephen Davis is both a cultural chronicle and a love letter to the golden age of kids’ programming. Focusing on the phenomenon that was The Howdy Doody Show, Davis expertly weaves together behind-the-scenes accounts, rare interviews, and historic photos to bring the chaotic charm of 1950s live TV back to life. Buffalo Bob, Clarabell the Clown, and, of course, Howdy himself take center stage in this fast-paced narrative about the show that helped define a generation of post-war baby boomers. For collectors and fans of television history, this book is a joyous romp through TV’s earliest frontiers and a sharp-eyed commentary on American pop culture. A library withdrawal with the dust jacket in Brodart makes this a solid collectible at an accessible price point.
