I am trying to put together a list of GOOD Childrens Puppet TV Shows.
Would anyone care to help?
Here is what I know of...
Chicken Minute
Groundling Marsh
Eureeka's Castle
Fraggle Rock
Puzzle Place
Maybe...
Under The Umbrella Tree
Allegra's Window
From this list you can see the direction that I am going in. Please keep with this, I do not want to list shows like The Muppet Show or Sesame Street. But something like The Secret Life Of Toys or Dog City would fit nicely in this list (but im trying to go with non-Henson stuff only)

Today's Special Is another one I remember as a kid.
There's also all of that Sid and Marty Kroft stuff.

I remember The New Zoo Revue taking up a good chunk of my time as a kid. I don't remember if it was any good or not. That might have been the source of my attraction to girls in go-go boots, however. Ah... Emmy Jo...

Oh, I forgot about Allegra's window. I /love/ that show. What happened to it?
I thought Big Comfy Couch was pretty good. It wasn't all puppets, but Molly and the Dust Bunnies were. I suppose the Foley Family were puppets in a way. Either way, I think that show was decent for children.

How about Read-A-Long, It's A Big, Big, World, Little Star, Longhouse Tales?

These are all great additions!
Id like to keep along the lines of Groundling Marsh/Eureekas Castle/Fraggle Rock.
Thats the feel that I would like to find more shows with.

I know most people won't agree :) But I really really like Lazy Town. In my opinion it's one of the coolest puppetshows ever.

I second /Pee Wee's Playhouse/. That had some of the strangest puppets around...

Chicken Minute
Groundling Marsh
Eureeka's Castle
Fraggle Rock
Puzzle Place
Under The Umbrella Tree
Allegra's Window
Between the Lions
The Secret Life Of Toys
Dog City
Beanie and Cecil
Book of Pooh
It's a Big Big World
Blizzard Island
Longhouse Tales
The New Zoo Revue
Im not looking for shows that have puppets. But Puppet shows that have the distinct feel to them, the feel that Eureeka's Castle/Groundling Marsh/Fraggle Rock have... Id say its the feel of maybe Nick/Disney Puppet shows of the 80's.
That's a list I have so far! Any more to add?
