Must Know This Immediately

[D'Snowth]

Does ANYONE know when this new show It's a Big, Big World first began production?

It first aired Jan. 2nd, 2006.

Here's a link to a press release announcing the plans for the show:

The release is dated April, 2005.

I've watched the show since the premiere (my little boy loves the show) and could have sworn it premiered a year ago.

Oh... okay...

Don't really know, but I would love to check out this show. I haven't really seen it yet, but it looks cool. Sort of like a newer Bear in the Big Blue House.

Even though I'm 16... I have to say I have watched at least 3 episodes of that series. And of what I've watched of it, it looks really good.

 

[MGov]

Oh... okay...

Why disappointed, Snowth?

Why disappointed, Snowth?

Because early last year, I was designing and developing a tree-frog puppet as a new character for me to performer. It's a Big, Big World just aired on my local PBS affiliate last month and saw the tree-frog puppet character on that show is almost EXACTLY like the tree-frog puppet I was designing; but since the show began production before my tree-frog puppet was being designed, then I guess I can't continue with him now because I would be stealing.

Thats too bad...sorry about that....

Why don't you make your frog a diffrent species of tree frog?....like that orange kind with black stripes......

well....maybe not that species....especially if you make it bounce too much....hmmm.....well....you could research diffrent species I guess

Why couldn't you perform a tree frog puppet? It doesn't sound like stealing. Even if there is a visual similarity, how many radically different ways are there to render a tree frog?

(Not to impugn your design, just the notion that similarities mean you have to abandon your puppet, or that you'd be somehow guilty of theft)

Henson did a tree frog years ago when they were just starting to experiment with green screen. There's clips of it in "The Jim Henson Hour" episode revealing the secrets of the Muppets©.
