Garfield Goose - White
feathered puppet character created by Frazier Thomas for TV
station WBKB in Chicago. Garfield lived in a mock medieval castle and
pretended with his children viewers to be "King of the United States."
Garfield communicated by making clicking sounds with his metal (tin)
beak.
The "subjects" of his royal court included:
-
Frazier Thomas (the series creator) as the Prime Minister dressed in
full regalia of medals and epaulets
-
Christmas, his nephew
-
Beauregard Burnside III, an aging, toothless bloodhound
-
Macintosh the Mouse, in charge of the castle's mailroom
-
Romberg the Rabbit, liaison between the puppets and the Prime
Minister.
Begun in 1952, GARFIELD GOOSE & FRIENDS was the longest
running puppet show on television. See also
