Where were you in 1960

[MikeP]

Clem caddidlehopper was Red's bumpkin country cousin.
I theink the cowboy was Texas Red, but not sure.

There is an interesting book by the son of a Howdy Doody producer who saw lots of the behind the scenes goings on. CRS on the name right now.
One guy seduced moms upstairs during the shows and the princess was an ex-stripper with a past.
She was in Jail House Rock and was headed for better things when she died in a car wreck.

I sort of remember a review of that book...When the puppeteers were bored, they'd have the puppets doing...er...lewd acts...

My favorite show of the 50's was "Science Fiction Theater"...I still recall an episode where a mysterious stranger stayed overnight at a remote home...Mother & son had no electricity...Stranger told wild stories about a strange land...and left behind a suitcase with a duplex receptacle that the kid plugged his electric train set into...

Really...Would an alien with a cold fusion reactor put a *duplex* receptacle in his suitcase???

I think Red's cowboy was "San Fernando Red." Sound about right? And the boxer was "Cauliflower McPugg." ("There goes a whole flock of 'em!") And "Freddy the Freeloader" was in there somewheres.

Just too D--- old!
