So, lately I've been going through Article Requests of the site, trying to help lower the amount of articles that are backlogged on the site. I made a list of articles to go through about a month and a half back, and I just got down to the one of which I'm investigating now.
Afternoon with Inga
So this series is very interesting. According to the Muppet Wiki, this series was one of the first, if not the first show that Jim Henson worked on. It was said on the wiki page to be a local program, and that it was hosted by local television host Inga Rundvold from 1955-1956, having the Muppets on the show two months before Sam and Friends.
I'm not the biggest Muppets fan myself, but I am aware that Sam and Friends is the series that is known to be the first appearance of the Muppets. The thing about this show that is so unique is that I can hardly find any information on it because of how localized it is within the D.C. area.
What I did find out though, is that the show has been listed in Newspapers under a few names that are all similar to one another, but just different to make Advanced Searches a bit of a pain. In the same newspaper, I've seen the show listed as both:
"Good Afternoon with Inga"
"Good Afternoon Inga Rundvold"
as well as " Good Afternoon - Inga"
The only other thing I've been able to find useful is the ad for the show here, but information here is fairly minimal. If I can get a little help with this one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
