Colonel Crackie, Madame Ooglepuss, and Fran are confused about when to leave. Ollie appears in an Indian headdress to read a letter from the Army Corps of Engineers, awarding him the rank of Master Sergeant and Technical Advisor on Dragon Affairs. Fran wishes Will Rossiter a happy 85th birthday by singing his song, “You Haven’t Changed”. Ollie tries on a Confederate cap.

The Burr Tillstrom Copyright Trust, the Jane Henson Foundation, and KFO fans around the world have funded the transfer of over 700 episodes of this television classic. Special thanks to the Chicago History Museum for its invaluable help, The Puppeteers of America, and to Global Video Chicago for the transfers themselves.

    They remained on TV well into the 1970s on "CBS Children's Film Festival," in which their segments bookended the a short film feature. By the way, take note of the voice of the announcer at the start of the NBC show: It's Hugh Downs, who would go on to host "Concentration," as well as serving as announcer for "The Tonight Show with Jack Paar." He later hosted NBC's "Today" and eventually jumped ship to ABC to host "20/20" with former "Today" co-host Barbara Walters.
