In the show, Jim and Judy, two all-American kids, climbed into their TV set to have adventures in Teleland. The show used "a melange of cutout animation (jogging cardboard figures past the screen to create the illusion of movement) and limited cel art."[3]

History

Peroff created 52 episodes of the series in 1949-50 but had a difficult time finding distribution for his product. The show was later sold to Venezuela in 1954, to Deadwood, South Dakota in 1954 and to Japan in 1956. In the cartoon Jim and Judy used to enter their television for adventures.
