Trivia:
Thanks primarily to Robert Clampett's clever scripts and the outstanding voice work of Daws Butler and Stan Freberg, "Time For Beany" was a show whose appeal stretched well beyond that of the average children's show of the time. This is evidenced by the fact that the show's fans included Albert Einstein, Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, Aldous Huxley and Adlai Stevenson. more

Beany Cap, 16 February 2006
Author: danielrobertdyer from United States

Nobody mentioned the beany cap with the propeller on top.

I never watched the cartoon version, which evidently the boomers liked, but to us war-time babys, the puppet version was a daily must in Los Angeles. Too bad it wasn't Nationwide.

The Beany cap was manufactured and sold in Los Angeles. Kids wore them much the same as the coonskin cap from Davy Crockett show later in the 50's.

I have often wondered if Jim Henson was inspired by this show, especially with his creation of the Cookie Monster, which used the same expressions as Cecil.
