Yes, the last time I saw this was on WPIX-TV [New York] in 1972-'73, where it was seen as "filler" after "The Little Rascals", 'Earl'...

I loved these skits as a kid.I remember Carol Corbet hosting a show called The Patchwork Family on CBS back in the late 60s early 70s , with a puppet named Rags.

Does anybody know if this program aired in NYC during the '70s?

I remember Carol Corbett! Another NY person, eh? Remember the Buckaroo 500 Show that was on at lunchtime?

Yes, I recall this show being on in the late morning/early afternoon hours on weekdays. Our grammmar school allowed the students to leave the school premises for lunch hour. I used to go home for lunch and watch Doodles, Carol Corbett and Gumby --- all on around the noon-hour. What fun, I miss those old days. Golden age television!
