No...although I did live in Chicago 1949-54, our family didn't have a TV
(probably for financial reasons) so the only way I could watch TV was by
visiting one of our TV-owning neighbours...which was usually to watch
programs like "Howdy Doody." I had, of course, HEARD of "Kukla..." but
don't remember ever actually watching the show....!
