Oh my gosh. Clyde Frog. I remember that. His favorite hero was Wonder Wombat, I believe.

It's good to know that I actually remember that...and it's not the product of lead-based paint.

some of my favorite non-henson puppet shows have been Greg The Bunny, lamb Chops play-Along, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Eureekas castle and allegras window.

How could I forget Greg the Bunny? When it was on, myself and my father watched every episode of that show. And I just remembered another slightly oddball, presumably Canadian creation: a show called "Pappyland". I think this show had some puppet work, but I'm not positive. I can't remember much about the show, except the main character was an old man that must have been on drugs, he was that excited. MrsPepper or anyone else: do you remember this show?

Yes, another lover! If you look earlier in this thread, MrsPepper found a wonderful site with all kinds of info and clips. I so badly want that show on DVD!

Boy, that Sam is always good for a laugh, eh?
