I used to watch this pretty regularly, GP used to drive around in a GI Joe jeep all the time.

I didn't even know about that show. It was cute. The little props were adorbs. I have to admit I also enjoyed the Strawberry Shortcake commercial.

One of the cable channels use to run it back in the mid to late 80s. I want to say Discovery Channel before they ran all of the reality TV junk but I'm not sure.

I watched it quite a bit, mainly background noise as i played as a kid. It had a "Bob Ross" calming quality about it.

I can see that. I would have loved it as little kid.

I remember watching this occasionally as a kid on Canadian television. I also saw a few episodes of the UK version many years ago.

if i remember correctly it was called tales of the riverbank in the UK and im almost certain it was broadcast by the BBC in the early 1960s originally, and was voiced by johnny Morris

Love that video! Always enjoyed it.

I always found the USA Network program Calliope interesting and soothing when I was a little boy, but no one seems to remember it. Though, I was just reading that it aired from 1978 to 1993. I didn’t stick with it for that many years.

Jeremy the Bear and Hammy Hamster were the staples of my mornings when I was real young.

They were all berry scented except for Angle Cake who I think smelled like vanilla.
