1. Have u done lambchop yet? ?

2. well i have a new favorite show!!!

3. And another part of what I seek in my adult partners comes to light when I am made to remember Holly

4. 3:04 that haircut is bussin'

5. OH MY GOD, this woman was responsible for Ananas from Telefrancais?! They used to to make us watch that in the 4th grade, the pineapple was a running gag between friends and family for years! Sometimes someone will still say "Je suis un ananas!" out of nowhere and we'll crack up.

6. As someone from Ottawa, I have never heard Almont pronounced that way and it feels very weird.

7. "And baby Schwartz." Um, yikes. 1:33

8. Can you please please please do an episode of Mary Lou Retton’s Flip Flop Shop

9. I completely forgot about this show and seeing this made me remember I used to watch it non-stop as a kid. This was a creepy experience.

10. This was a wonderfully nostalgic video for me! Telefrancais was a staple of elementary school French class, (I always adored Ananas) and I grew up going to Puppets Up! I have so many fond memories of the festival. I’m so glad I could learn more about someone who had such a huge impact on my youth from behind the scenes!

11. I’ve been low key wondering what the show was with the puppets and the basement for like 25 years until I saw this suggested lol

12. Video suggestion: The New Adventures of Lassie

    TNAOL is a pretty decent show, but what I find most fascinating about it is the seasons. Specifically, the alarming gap between them. For some reason, season 1 aired in 2014-2015, while season 2 aired in 2020. And on top of that, the seasons were made by completely different animation studios in completely different styles, and can't even be watched on the same platform anymore. Season 1 is on the Youtube channel Powerkids TV and season 2 is on Paramount + but is listed as season 1 and features season 1 styled cover art.
    I've done a bit of digging on this, but information on the show is so sparse I haven't really been able to come up with much.

13. Omg can you guys PLEASE do Timmy the Tooth, it was one of my favourite cursed shows growing up

14. I kept waiting for something to go wrong.

15. That was amazing. Please do Eureekas Castle

16. Having never heard of this show, I imagined something different when its name was "Under The Umbrella Tree". I didn't imagine a house.

17. 23:05 Good to know living under the tree prevents you from aging like humans lmao

18. Eureka’s castle episode when? Lol

19. Could you do a history of Mr.Dress up? It ran for over 30 years and was a huge part of any kid born from the 60s to the 90s.

    The tickle box, truffles, Casey and Finnegan etc

20. Intro is sick

21. Intro is sick

22. This is a cherished memory from my childhood. I was a toddler and I remember this theme song so well!!! Wow I love this so much!

23. Please look at Los Lunnis, the Spanish puppet show

24. I swear governments purposely set up kid shows to fail with weird advertisement laws. I would imagine the show getting at least a few more seasons without Disney if they weren't strict with ads.

25. Well, I found another entry on my list of "Children's Shows That I Thought I Dreamed Up as a Kid."

    (or, as Doug Walker would say: "Was That Real?!)

26. I’ve never seen these characters before but.. I can absolutely see the impact they had on others growing up

    I’m absolutely in love with them :’)

27. Aw, this seems like such a great show! It’s great to see it has a small presence in recent years too!

28. God I love this channel so much. Even if the documentary features a children's show that I personally didn't grow up with, I still get a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia wash over me and I just remember simpler times. I've binged your videos again and again throughout the years and I just want to thank you for all the passion and care that goes into your productions. Thank you.
