CRAP !!
That "First" goes to "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" !!
"Kukla, Fran and Ollie" is an early American television show using puppets.
It was created for children, but soon watched by more adults than children.
It did not have a script and was entirely ad-libbed. It was broadcast from
Chicago between 1947 to 1957. Comedienne Fran Allison starred, interacting
with puppets, Kukla and Ollie (and sometimes other puppets) whose puppeteer
was the show's creator, Burr Tillstrom. The leader of the troupe was Kukla,
a sweet-natured and gentle clown who was something of a worry-wart. Oliver
J. Dragon (Ollie), atypical of traditional puppet show dragons, was a
mischievous, one-toothed dragon with a penchant for getting into trouble.
Other members of the Kuklapolitans included grand dame Madame Ophelia
Oglepuss, Stage Manager Cecil Bill (who spoke a language comprehensible only
to the other Kuklapolitans), Colonel R.H. Crackie, a debonair Southern
gentleman, floppy-eared Fletcher Rabbit, Buelah Witch (named for producer
Beulah Zachary--with the intentional misspelling), Ollie's mother Olivia
Dragon and niece Dolores, whom audiences saw grow from an noisy infant into
a typical teenage dragonette, and many others.
