7) This one i asked about earlier, forgot the name it has a black lab dog puppet, and to real people - a lady who spoke french and a clown who didn't speak at all.

This show was called Marie Solei (sp?). The dog's name was Fergus. If you've seen this, maybe you've seen another Canadian puppet show from that era, EMU.

I LOVED Today's Special as a kid! I also loved Readalong, Jeremy, and this french show called "Passe Partout".

BTW...does anyone remember a show called Tickle on the Tum?

Baby Rowlf- looks like I watched the same shows you did growing up. Readalong and Jeremy were espcially favourites!
Now I have the Readalong theme in my head....

"'Cause reading is a lot of fun- and easy too! So join us here at Readalong. You and you and you and you and you!"

what is READALONG? i think i might remember it, did it have this one puppet that sort of resembled Ernie?

and what was Jeremy?

and what was Emu?

Readalong was hosted by a Boot and his girlfriend was a pink shoe. (I can't find any websites or pics of this show....)

Jeremy the Bear, (Called Barnaby the Bear in the UK, and Colagol in France) was a stop motion animated show.
This is the only webpage I've found with decent pics of Jeremy:

another catchy theme song:

I'm a bear called Jeremy
I can do most anything
I can dance and I can sing
little tunes like do re mi!

Hey, I just changed my Avatar to Jeremy the Bear, singing.
(oh how I wish this series would wind up on DVD)
