As far as I know, the quote from Future's End is the only mention of Howdy Doody. Wouldn't the rest of the article be non-canon? --Ortzinator 21:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the intro is to explain the basic gist of who Howdy Doody is, and the italicized portion is, well, just there. Not sure it is really necessary. So really, there is no "canon conflict" as it were, because it is not over explaining or making something out of nothing. --Alan 21:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
