| Peppermint Park | comment |
Peppermint Park was an educational home video series produced in The '80s by Televidics Productions and Mark V Productions, with a rather familiar sounding general premise: a cast of puppet characters get together to teach children various different educational lessons, ranging from letters, numbers, colors, animals, and other similar topics through a series of lectures and songs.The characters featured on this show have almost-eerily-realistic-looking heads, and almost all characters having gardening gloves for hands. Some of these characters include Ernie, who sings a song about the letter 'M'; Little Bit, a little girl with braided hair and a very muscular body who gives lectures about numbers; Piggle, an anthropomorphic ballcap-wearing pig who often screws up the lectures and demonstrations being made, sometimes by eating the objects being demonstrated; and Maynard, and elderly man who is so depressed about being blue that all he eats is bleu cheese.The series itself is really obscure, having only been released on VHS and apparently limited to just six half-hour episodes. You'd be hard-pressed to find any actual copies of the tapes, but clips and full episodes from the series have been preserved for viewing on YouTube. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Peppermint Park / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: About midway through the series, Piggle suddenly loses his Kermit-esque voice and gets a sped-up Chipmunk-like voice instead. The blonde puppet has a male voice in the "bubble liquid" sketch, but earlier in the same episode it has a female voice when it introduces the magician along with Little Bit. | |

The Eeyore | |
| Peppermint Park / int_54fdbff5 | comment |
The Eeyore: Maynard. "I'm So Blue" is his theme song, in which he sings about how blue he is. He used to be "red hot" when he was younger, but now he's so blue all he eats is bleu cheese. | |

| Peppermint Park / int_5e032315 | comment |
One-Book Author: This series is Copiously Credited Creator John Horton's only IMDb credit, though he's known to have worked on other shows (including one of the 80s revivals of The Dick Cavett Show). In fact, the whole show is shrouded in mystery, with hardly any solid info about it or any of its participants on the Web. About all that can be stated for certain is that it was produced in Southern California in 1987, released direct to VHS, and offered up in syndication to low-power UHF TV stations shortly afterwards (though there's no record of any stations actually airing it). | |

Big Eater: Piggle. He once ruined one of Little Bit's lectures by devouring the plate of crackers she was using to demonstrate the number 4. | |

Herr Doktor | |
| Peppermint Park / int_7484b619 | comment |
Herr Doktor: Professor Goodstuff note or Gudschtuff, which is how he pronounces it, some sort of dog/wolf puppet with a German accent who gives instructions on how to make simple toys. However, with his pointy ears and white lab coat, he looks more like a Yoda knockoff. | |

On the Next | |
| Peppermint Park / int_974a9fe0 | comment |
On the Next: Each episode ends with this. The previews often don't jibe with what actually happens in the next volume. Volume 6 has a generic one, which probably means that they knew it was going to be the last episode. | |

Leave the Camera Running | |
| Peppermint Park / int_b2af79fb | comment |
Leave the Camera Running: A number of moments like this, with the dancing marionette scenes being the biggest offenders. The "show footage of animals while a wacky song about the animals plays" sequences also just meander on forever without much regard for editing or pacing. | |

Genki Girl: Magic Megan is quite bubbly, putting a great deal of enthusiasm into explaining "magic tricks" like folding up pieces of paper or writing things on rubber bands. | |

Fake Shemp | |
| Peppermint Park / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: The Magic Megan segment in Volume 6 doesn't even have video; it's just stills of Megan with balloons while the (male) announcer describes the trick. Except, an On the Next at the end of an earlier episode actually shows a video clip of Megan doing the balloon trick, leading you to wonder if there was some kind of technical glitch that precluded them from showing the whole video. | |

Non-Ironic Clown: Sparky, a fireman-clown who gives fire safety tips and comes off as gruff, irritable and a bit bossy. He also seems to view fire safety as a basis for some sort of pyramid scheme. | |
