comment
New Zoo Revue was a children's television program that ran in syndication between 1972 and 1977, airing 196 episodes in all. It was a live-action show hosted by "Doug and Emmy Jo" (Doug Momary and Emily Peden) and starring life-sized puppets Henrietta Hippo, Freddie the Frog, and Charlie the Owl. New Zoo Revue was aimed at preschoolers and taught lessons about friendship and cooperation. Episodes were devoted to specific topics like bad manners and sharing. The show dealt with the emotional issues small children feel, and omitted educational topics like reading and arithmetic.The series stayed quiet after it was canceled, but in the mid 2010s, there was a new revival/reboot on the series with the help with original creator Doug Momary. The series seems to be the same, but the cast of Doug and Emmy Jo has been replaced (it's never stated if it's a reboot or they're either kids related to the original hosts, or just characters that take the namesakes as Legacy Character) with a new character named Wang Yong who is a panda bear. The last time the channel was active was 2019, but no updates have been made until the end of 2021, but even then there hasn't been any news on full fledged series.

Power Outage Plot: The episode "Light" has the cast dealing with a blackout after the power went out. They later learn it was because Henrietta plugged in a new fryer invented by Charlie.

Drugs Are Bad: One Very Special Episode deals with the subject (and the difference between the good and bad variety) by having Charlie making a "happiness pill", with him taking the pill accidentally and getting himself injured when, under its influence, he collides head first into a tree.
