The material that he says slips over the heads of his predominantly small-fry audience is found by listening to the largest group of dummies and handpuppets he's worked with since making it big on the old Milton Berle show 10 years ago.

His standard little inanimate friends then were Danny O'Day and Farfel. as well as Humphrey Higsbve and Ftatateeta. But now Nelson has added eight hand-puppets with names and mannerisms that would seem to appeal to adults more than children. They are all the creation of Budd Getschal, the and creator of the show. Getschal, director Lee Polk and Nelson write the material.

Here's Getschal's rundown of the puppets: "There's David Summkind, omniscient and ubiquitous producer; J. Bannister Flagpole, the man from Madison Avenue who litters the set with his cliches. Also M. Ingmar Megaphone, the flip-top director; Bentley Hinkley, who always gets the news first, but seldom gets it right. Others are Flash, the imperturbable stagehand; Fuzzy Focus, the casual and astigmatic cameraman; Herman Hush, the manages to catch parents between David Summkind 5:00 7:05: 10:00: 10:05: 11:45: 12:05 M.

Ingmar Megaphone thin-skinned, generous-eared sound engineer, and Six-Gun Sidney, the slowest-thinking, fastest-shooting cowboy in the West." Of course, there's also Nelson himself, who wears a dummy set of earphones on camera, as he is supposed to be the "stage manager" of the production. "Studio developed over the summer when Nelson and his family were at their summer home in Point Lookout, he said. "I was at a Little League game watching my son Jerry play for the Point Lookout Kings. When he slapped a hit to left field and brought in the winning run, Bud Getschal, the manager of the team, walked over to congratulate Jerry and introduced himself," Nelson said. The two got to talking show business once Getschal recognized the ventriloquist.

A few weeks later the producer asked Nelson if he'd be interested in doing "a new kind of show for youngsters and their parents." The show went on the air last month..
