Lucky Pup (1948)
Additional info on "Lucky Pup" from childhood recollections
This show, one of the very first I saw, supposedly starred a dog who inherited I think it was a million dollars. By the time I came onto the viewer scene (early 1950), the pup was long gone from the show--roadkill perhaps?--and Pinhead and Foodini had become the principal characters by public demand. Foodini was an incompetent Svengali and Pinhead was his good-soldier-Schweik-type sidekick and mark. The program opened to music from "The Nutcracker" and Pinhead & Foodini later starred in a comic book series of their own.
One episode of this program (maybe two) is available for public viewing in NYC and Beverly Hills at the offices of the recently renamed institution formerly known as The Museum of Television and Radio. Kinescope quality is terrible not to mention the sound, but the lead characters' Punch 'N Judy antics come through five decades quite clearly. (Or think Moe and Curly antics.)
