One of my favorite episodes ! The black kid in the Howdy Doody look-alike contest who had white freckles was the best ! And to top it off, he won THE CONTEST !!! I also loved how Richie got so upset that he didn't win. I thought it was a great way to show a part of 50's nostalgia (Howdy Doody) - and incorporate it into the plot. It really shows Richie at his most innocent way - especially when you can see how deep down he actually did want to win the contest. He actually complains about the fact that the winner was allowed to do the Howdy Doody puppet motions !!!
