The CAST
The Great Foodini show actually started as "Lucky Pup."
What had originally been a minor character, Foodini the
great magician soon became so popular he got his own
show. Foodini was the main instigator of trouble and conflict.
His bumbling assistant Pinhead could be counted upon to
complicate things and to constantly get into trouble with
Foodini. They became a classic comic pair. Jolo the clown
makes occasional appearances. Lucky Pup was a white puppet dog. (CBS 1948-51) He was a
wealthy playboy pooch, battling evil plots of the bumbling
pointy nosed magician Foodini and his stooge Pinhead. They
try to steal the canine's five million dollar inheritance
left to him by a deceased circus queen. Jolo was the clown
pal of Lucky Pup. In 1951 the program was renamed Foodini
the Great because the character Foodini had become more
popular than Lucky Pup. Doris Brown (the only human on the
show) narrated and hosted the program.
