Does anyone remember that old Jim Henson Company show Whirleygig? I had a few on tape way back when but the tape got destroyed and I had to throw it away, so I was wondering if anybody could give me some more information about this show since my memories of this show are a little faded and fuzzy.

No, the one I'm talking about was on back in 1994-1996 or so. It involved classic stories coming to life involving puppetry. There was this one I think about Pinnochio.

Thats probably it, thank you, I could have sworn that they were Jim Henson creations, oh well.

Kermit Love designed and built the puppets for Whirleygig, may have even produced it. I know he also appears in each episode. So your assumption it was JHC related is not so unfounded. Nikki Tilroe, one of the background performers on Fraggle Rock, was one of hte main puppeteers on this show. I think its available on video, or was at one point.
