Mustard Pancakes is a 2005 Canadian fantasy musical children's program created by children's musician and storyteller, Courtney Campbell. In the show, Courtney Campbell lives with her four pets Mo, Mr. D, Oogleberry Ink Dog, and Tiny Tina Ten Toes. Courtney speaks directly to you, the viewer, as a guest visiting her house who has come to spend time with her and her four pets. In each episode, one of the characters experiences a conflict, a story is told with a top called The Story Spinner that has the episode's conflict's moral/solution conveyed in it (acted out by the pets who are portrayed by puppets), the story inspires the characters to solve the conflict, and a song is then sung by Courtney and the pets. Towards the end of the episode, Courtney and the pets sit down at a table called The Round Table where they discuss a different part of the world. The episode is signed off by Oogleberry writing a recap of the episode's events in his diary before saying goodbye to the viewers.The puppets of the pets were made by puppeteer, Trish Leeper who also portrayed Mo. The show won a Parent's Choice Gold Award in 2006 for best children's show. The show aired on PBS Kids and Smile TV and was cancelled on March 29, 2007 after three seasons due to running out of funding.

Expy: Courtney Campbell is a fictional version of her portrayer, talks directly to the viewers, sings songs, and teaches lessons from her house identically like Mr. Rogers from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The show itself features puppetry, singing, and life lessons identically to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as well.
