Kukla, Fran and Ollie - Primary Day - April 8, 1952 

I met Burr Tillstrom in the middle 70s when I was a resident at an artist's colony in Michigan called Saugatuck. I heard my name called out that I had a phone call at the main house. When I went inside it was Kukla and Ollie talking to me from behind a couch where Mr Tilstrom had hidden himself. It's one of my most fond memories from my childhood.

Lovely touch with the radio (RCA Victor, I presume) suddenly gaining sentience for the Shredded Wheat commercial. Last time I saw that happen was a MST3K episode when a talking Hercules action figure suddenly gave a Jolly Ranchers ad, which led Joel to collapse with incredulity. Seems to me that Hugh got caught up with election fever so much, he barely kept a straight face while reading the sponsor's message.

I remember , I was 7...Must see TV on our 9 Inch Admiral (very expensive) TV. 3 Channels at that time including DUMONT.

I only heard about this by watching the match game. Poor lady got made fun of ...The question was Coo coo blank .she said "coo coo, Fran and Ollie."
