The half-hour children's series Bingo and Molly was a puppet show set in the tiny town of Rabbit Hollow. The title characters were a pair of cute brother-and-sister bunnies: Bingo was the aggressive, adventurous sibling, in contrast to his cautious, sensible sister Molly. The series' pro-social story lines found Bingo, Molly, and their animal friends facing and solving problems by applying common sense and kindness -- though Bingo had a tendency to leap before he looked. The "live" segments were chock full of music and comedy, linked with animated sequences produced by the celebrated Michael Sporn. A co-production of Alice Entertainment and Broadstar Entertainment, the 26-episode Bingo and Molly joined the daily lineup of cable TV's The Learning Channel in 1997.
Produced in England by the same people responsible for the internationally popular Teletubbies, the daily, half-hour puppet series NiNi's Treehouse was set in the mythical world of Oooberryland. The titular NiNi was described as "a little bit dog, little bit cat, little bit cow" -- and looked it. An indefatigable sketch artist, Nini was always amazed and amused when his drawing came to life, as were his best friends, lookalike "fuzzies" Treezle B and Treezle D. The avowed purpose of the series was to teach preschoolers such concepts as "near and far," "night and day," and "up and down," while also instructing the kiddies in the mysteries of numbers, letters, and shapes. The producers claimed that the program was created "by kids, for kids," which of course meant that it was just as entertaining as it was educational . Distributed in the United States by the itsy bitsy Entertainment Company, NiNi's Treehouse was seen as part of The Learning Channel's daily "Ready!Set!Learn!" kiddie-show block, beginning in November 2000.
