Stu and Friends

Cartoonville and Friends is an early live-action/puppet television show created by puppeteer Michael Shires. It was taped and aired twice daily as a local series in Washington, D.C., on WRC-TV in black-and-white, and later color, on weeknights from May 9, 1955, to December 15, 1961. Most of the original episodes were wiped after airing on TV. The few surviving episodes can be viewed at the Paley Center for Media.
