anyone remember one on sunday mornings on channel 7 where kids went into different rooms and an adult would read to them, but they also had puppets too. I think it may have neem a locally done show.

Today's Special!

It had a guy who came to life from being a mannequin in a store. The security guard and a mouse while blonde curls who lived in the store and were friends with the guy, they were puppets!

HR puffnstuff was creepy. I think when they came up with that somebody was doing drugs.

You can add The Friendly Giant and Mr Dressup. Both shows had puppets interacting with humans. Mr Dressup weirded me out.

The only puppet show that I ever liked was The Muppet Show. Everything else was just stupid.

If the bad guys sub looked like a fish, that would be Stingray. Then we can add Thunderbirds, Supercar and Fireball XL-5.

Sigmund and the Sea Monsters is most likely what you're thinking of

[DarkRacer]

What about Rainbow and Mr. Roger's neighborhood?

[Miranda]

Oh my Larry Santos & Hot Fudge.. that was classic. I never cared for the Muppets, they were really cute though. I think I was a bit past it when they came on the scene.

[Nikki kitty]

Jim Henson's Muppets are my absolute fave. They're so silly, it's funny :laughing

[BlackcaT840]

I grew up with Mr. Dressup, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock. I think there were others, but I cant remember them right now.

[Destroit]

Man,

fuckin Fraggle Rock and Eureka's Castle.

Wtf is wrong with y'all? lol

[Head Wreck]

fraggle rock rocks!

in the UK we had morph as well, noty really a pupet but a yellow plastacine man.

i got asked today what is morphology (theory of the architecture of grammar.) and not knowing of top of head (had to look it up) i replied, the study of cartoons using plastacine.

worst thing is the person forgot about morph the cartoons and thought i was serious
