The Howdy Doody Show

It's Howdy Doody Time !!

Sawyer tells Ana that "Shaft is going to get a surprising little Howdy Doody". The phrase howdy doody, came from a popular children's television show in the 50's.

Quote:

Howdy Doody was a children's television program (with a decidedly frontier/western theme, although other themes also colored the show) that aired on NBC from 1947 through 1960. It was a pioneer in children's programming and set the pattern for many similar shows. It was also a pioneer in early color production as NBC used the show in part to sell color television sets in the 1950's.
