Kukla, Fran and Ollie (1947–1957)
10/10
Amazing Program

Warning: Spoilers
Many of these shows aren't re-aired because they advertise products within the show.

I ordered a set of 1950s Saturday morning programs and the episode of KFO has Kukla reading Life magazine, we see a Reader's Digest and then Fran and Kukla talk about the RCA stereo system.

Other than that the very idea that the shows were unrehearsed and unscripted is phenomenal to say the least. For some reason it seems to go beyond Allison and Tillstrom understanding each other, it seems to offer up the talent and capabilities of both of them.

Fran and Ollie also sing the Alphabet song, very well too. (A, you're adorable, B, you are beautiful, . . . )

This episode seems to show many of the puppets; a rabbit, the witch, the society matron, the tooey sailor fellow, who appears at the end with Tillstrom.

Still, it was amazing to sit there for nearly thirty minutes with no interruptions. I wonder what kids did, sat there staring at the stereo promotion, or was that the bathroom break?
