Wimzie's House
Wimzie's House is a Canadian preschool puppet series that ran for 65 episodes from 1995-1996 on YTV, and ran in the USA on select PBS stations from 1999-2001. It can currently be seen in America on a channel called Kids Unlimited that is on demand only and offers large amounts of episodes at a time of semi-obscure educational kid's shows for free if it comes with your on demand service.
The show was about a five year old dragon bird girl named Wimzie whose parents worked all day, so her grandma Yaya ran a mini daycare center. The charges of the daycare are Wimzie, her 18 month old brother Bo, a 5 year old Goblin named Jonas who loves science, his 3 year old sister Loulou who loves to be with the bigger kids, and a four year old troll named Horace who isn't very bright.
In each episode they learn lessons and flip over to semi-related songs out of the blue twice an episode.
In 1999 The Jim Henson company issued a lawsuit against the company due to the puppets looking a little too much like official Muppets.
