5. Wow, that's taking me back to my early early childhood and the Fearless Fosdick tv show in 1952

At about two-and-a-half years old, that show, based on the comic strip, is one of my earliest memories. He was a marionette and the bad guys kept riddling him with bullets. I think the opening visual at the start of each show was of the puppet getting strafed by gangster machine gun fire. One of the cool things that made the puppets better than the Howdy Doody show were the detailed life-like sets including indoor and outdoor puppet-sized scenery in which the marionettes performed.
