ArchivesRe: On Teela (By the Power of Grayskull)
in reply to a message by Selwyn
Teela as a name goes back a good thirty years before 1983. It was the name of Gunga the Elephant Boy's, well, ELEPHANT on "The Buster Brown Show", which ran Saturday mornings under that name from about 1951-54.
EVERY kid watched this show, mainly for the antics of Froggy the Gremlin, a mischievous rubber frog that appeared in a puff of smoke with a "Hiya, Kids, Hiya, Hiya!" when the host, Smilin Ed McConnell, said "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!" Too cool.

Froggy Roolz!
I just did a 'net search on Andy Devine and Froggy, and you remembered the early beginnings of that show all right:

No wonder that show is a cult thing today. I hadn't realized it was Froggy who instigated the Protest Movement of the '60s. ;)
