    not entertaining
    I recall this series airing daily during the Boston edition of 'Bozo the Clown' in the early 60's. As kids, we looked askance at the primitive animation, continuity errors, but most importantly, one character in particular: 'Super Chief'. He was an Indian dressed in headdress and blanket, apparently mute, but when prompted by one of the cast, would bellow out this bizarre train whistle/fog horn type of sound. I recall also that the series made fun of a kid who had some sort of speech impediment, and another who had some sort of cognitive impairment. This series was far from the state of the art, even for the times. Just a time filler perhaps, for when Bozo had to go feed the monkeys, if you know what I mean.
