What time is it?' - and, the answer: 'It's Howdy Doody Time' that came from the approximately 40 kids that squeezed each day into the studio's 'peanut gallery.'; ; The Howdy Doody Show set numerous benchmarks for television. It was the first network kids show to air five days a week, the first show on the air each day (it was preceded by the network's color pattern), the first television show ever broadcast in color, and the first show ever to air more than 1,000 continuous episodes.
