Kukla Fran and Ollie are fondly remembered
A popular children's program KUKLA FRAN and OLLIE was a popular children's television show starring comedian Fran Allison. It was initially broadcast from Chicago between 1947-1957 but I recall watching it as a little girl during the mid-1960s. I assume this meant the show was in syndication. It has been reported that more than half of the viewing audience was made up of adults who watched with their young ones and enjoyed the innocence of the puppets. There was never a script and every single episode was 100% ad-libbed by Fran and her friends.

These individuals grew up enjoying Saturday morning Westerns and continue to be able to watch them today thanks to retro TV and streaming service.
