The Buster Brown Hour with Andy Devine (plunk your magic twanger, Froggie).
I remember that when it was pre-television and it was the Smilin' Ed McConnell show. I even still have an original Froggy the Gremlin statue that I got when that show was popular.
On early TV show, Kukla, Fran and Ollie was probably the first one I saw. TV was a 10" Admiral with that round screen. Most boring TV show to even be seen. A not all that good looking woman (Fran) talking I don't know what with a puppet (Kukla) and Ollie a puppet dragon IIRC. After a couple of days I went back outside and played in the street with my friends.
