Cozi TV announced plans last week for an Independence Day marathon of The Howdy Doody Show. The six-hour marathon will feature nine episodes of the long-running children’s show plus a new “Howdy Doody for President” special. It will be the first time any episodes have been seen on television since 1960. The marathon will air from 9AM to 3PM ET on Monday, July 4th.

The Howdy Doody Show aired on NBC from December 1947 to September 1960 and produced more than 2,000 episodes. Howdy ran for president in 1948 and 1952. The new “Howdy Doody for President” special will include footage culled from his presidential runs plus Howdy’s thoughts on the current political situation. Each episode will also feature a new introduction from Howdy.

plus Howdy’s thoughts on the current political situation.

I'll be sure to tune in for that. Sure to be at least as relevant as the Sunday Shows
and talking heads on cable news. :rolleyes:
 
If Howdy was doing a show today and had to comment on the current political situation, he'd probably throw himself into a woodchipper first. Live on the air like Christine Chubbuck.

I watched it yesterday and it was really good. They had the old B&W episodes for most of the marathon (some of which were blurry but hey it was cool to see)
Then they had the last show (which was an hour)

The last 1/2 hour was a new one of Howdy talking and it was mostly old clips when he "ran for office"
