Dickory Doc (Aldo Farnese) was a local Children's TV show produced by Kaiser Broadcasting and broadcast on UHF Channel 48 WKBS-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and on UHF Channel 56 WKBG-TV in Boston, Massachusetts and number of other major cities, which aired from 1966-1969. In his toy shop at the North Pole he makes toys for Santa Claus to give away on Christmas Eve. He's assisted by his puppet elves Choo-Choo, Professor Schnitzel, Jingle Jim, Little Jock, Mr. Bigsby the Buka Bird and Riddles. There are friends that drop by occasionally like Abby the Adorable Snowman and Puff the Flameless Dragon (A.K.A. Puffy).
Supported by Supermailman, who flies in delivering mail everyday, the show was a Wondrous World of delightful, magical rhymes, songs, tales, games, cartoons, and good wholesome nonsense.
The show was produced and created by Aldo Farnese (Dickory Doc) and Chic Laganella (Supermailman). They both supplied most of the voices of the puppets.
Two albums were produced at the time of the show:
- Dickory Doc with All His Friends.
- More Dickory Doc Vol.2.
Recorded Under the Direction of Chic Laganella and Aldo Farnese Produced by Buzz Curtis, Music Arranged & Conducted by Dick Caruso on an independent label "Piper Records". Album liner notes by Alan Baker.
After Dickory Doc ended and changing with the times, Aldo went on to play Adam Android a futuristic space-traveler. Unlike the cold snowing setting of the North Pole, the show took place on a Spaceship. This show was also created and produced by Aldo Farnese and Chic Laganella and using most of the same puppets.

Famous quotes containing the word doc:
“That’s a sucker game, Doc. There’s probably fifty fellows around town just waitin’ to see you get liquored up, so they can fill ya full of holes. Build themselves up a great reputation—the man that killed Doc Holliday.”
—Samuel G. Engel (1904–1984)
