The Great Foodini (1948)

A puppet show that regularly aired on CBS from 1948 to 1951. The main characters were the stage magician Foodini and his assistant Pinhead. The puppeteers Hope and Morey Bunin created this show. They had previously performed with their puppets in theaters and nightclubs since the early 1930s. The series switched networks to ABC in 1951, but a number of shifts in its time slot led to declining ratings. It was permanently canceled within the same year.
