Does anyone remember “Ida Mae and Happy”?
June 28, 2007
The following is an excerpt of an email which was forwarded to PBRTV by a friend.
I remember as a child listening to the television and watching a local Pittsburgh children’s program that starred Ida Mae and Happy. Not sure if it was Dumont or KDKA or public television though. She used to visit a parent at the Woodlawn Sanatorium in Moniger Pennsylvania. I lived across the street from the sanatorium. She always had her puppet Happy with her and would announce her arrival with a melodic beep of her horn. I am pretty sure it played the theme from her show??? She was so kind to a little fan. I have been searching the web for any information but have had no luck.
The cracked staff of PBRTV has also done a little bit of research and has come up with very little information. Therefore, we turn it over to you…our readers. Leave a comment by clicking the button below and we’ll pass it on!
