Stumbled on this years after posted. I too remember Puttnams. I’ve asked so many people about it and no one remembered it even existing. Was an awesome show. Lots of short running shows totally disappeared and were never heard from again.
How about the animated show ” gummie bears” no one remembers it either.

Wow. I was just talking about Puttnam’s Prairie Emporium earlier today, with a friend of mine, who unfortunately had never seen the show.. I loved that show as a kid, and I remember some of the time travel episodes, and in particular one where the characters were discussing money, I suppose, and they tried growing a money tree.. I remember how they had to wait for the money to mature, which they gauged by the appearances of the prime ministers, etc. on the faces of the bills.

It’s one of those shows, I think, where it’s aimed at kids, but they’ve also got this sense of humor hidden in there that you’d only really be able to catch if you were an adult, you know? Sort of like, if anyone here has ever seen the translations of “Samurai Pizza Cats” that were aired on YTV. That was another of my favorite shows, when I was a kid. Anyone else here watch that one?

I know its a couple of years late, but I went through all of my boxes of old VHS tapes and found an old episode of Puttnam’s Prairie Emporium from 1991 (taped in 1993). It’s available from my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/misterspiffy

Enjoy!

Hey, Matt-- is that the ORIGINAL MUSCLE commercial???

How could I get that in an .mpg or .avi file from you? The MUSCLE community has been looking for that thing for years!!!

I'm pretty sure I know a guy who could host it easily, too.

I think the round Trix tasted better.

Maybe it had more sugar than the current version.

You know what one of the better commercials was ‘back in the day’? Remember the one for Heinse Ketchup with the kid pretending to fly the bottle as a spaceship or something? I just really got a big kick out of that and it is partly responsible I think for my current interest in sci-fi, I mean it was a ketchup bottle flying around in space.
