How it feels
This is a puppet show where a human host named Fran talks and improvises with the puppets Kukla and Ollie. It was originally made for children but adults also watched it. There were no scripts, so everything the puppets and Fran said was made up on the spot.

What happens
Kukla, Fran and Ollie is an early American television show using puppets. It was created for children, but was soon watched by more adults than children. It did not have a script and was entirely ad-libbed. It was broadcast from Chicago between October 13, 1947, and August 30, 1957. Comedienne Fran Allison starred, interacting with puppets, Kukla and Ollie (and sometimes other puppets) whose puppeteer was the show's creator, Burr Tillstrom. After the original run, the team appeared in other productions over several decades. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
