    Storyline

    Edit
    One of the best children's shows ever. Garfield Goose was the self proclaimed "King of the United States." His front man, Frazier Thomas would translate whatever any of the hand puppets "said." None of the puppets had a voice and only spoke through Mr. Thomas, whose role was the King's translator/ambassador. They would have guests and show cartoons that as a child I never got tired of. Even the old cartoons that I had seen over and over. The show appealed to all races and creeds, and although Garfield was sarcastic about everything, they never used the platform to be hurtful or to further any agendas. Mr. Thomas would always admonish Garfield for his remarks and show him feeling chagrined. The puppeteers could make the hand puppets actually show sorrow and glee, and all the emotions in between. All in all a wonderful children's show that, entertained as well as taught valuable lessons, easily on par with other shows like "Kulkla, Fran, and Ollie" and Sheri Lewis's Lambchop.

    Creation and First Broadcast
    AryeDirect from United States above seems to be in error in view of all the photographic evidence and historical data the exits.

    Frazier Thomas created the show and puppet at WKRC-TV in Cincinnati and the show did, indeed, move to WBKB in 1951 and WBBM in Chicago where Bruce Newton had "something" to do with the show (rumor has it he either worked only for a short time or never actually did any work at all, but did get credit, this is very murky) and was even broadcast nationally on ABC for one year in 1954. Roy Brown was the primary puppet creator as well as the graphic artist designing the sets. The primary puppet design was Thomas and Brown, however there is some indication that Newton may have had his own Goose puppet at WBBM.
