Premise

[edit]

This series promoted physical activities for children featuring guests from the sports and fitness fields. Inexpensive sports were featured during the series, and a course of increasingly strenuous exercises was introduced in the second season. Episodes included talking puppet characters by Noreen Young such as a football helmet, hockey helmet, a knapsack, a linament bottle and an old shoe.[1]

Scheduling

[edit]

This half-hour series was broadcast Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern) in two seasons, from 5 February to 4 June 1974 and from 31 December 1974 to 15 April 1975.
