Trivia
Before Andy Devine took over this show in 1955 it was known as "Smilin' Ed McConnell and his Buster Brown Gang". It started as a radio show and moved to television in 1951 and ran until 1954 when McConnell died. Devine then took over the show in 1955 with essentially the same format.

good ol' saturday mornins'

froggy would appear and say, HI-DEE, HI-DE, HI-DEE! billie gilbert would appear as the prof. and give voice lessons.. something would happen ( maybe froggy would spray sneezing powder? ) and he would sneeze uncontrollably and leave.. also remember the magic twanger.. from my dim memory, i thought it was froggy's way of triggering a practical joke.. the scenes of the kids in the audience struck me as strange.. i remember that they always were doing the same exact movements, as if the same film was used every episode.. why not, what do kids know? there was a song andy sang with the audience.. only remember the ending-- good ol' andy's gang!
