Children's TV show taped between
1972 and
1975, based around the adventures of
Doug (
Doug Momary),
Emmy Jo (
Emily Peden), and their three animal friends:
Henrietta Hippo,
Charlie the Owl, and
Freddie the Frog. The show's goal was to
teach children about the importance of
love,
manners, and
friendship, to name a few topics.
Chuck Woolery of
Love Connection fame played a recurring character by the name of
Mr. Dingle.
Still shown in
syndication in some parts of the
U.S.,
NZR paved way for a new generation of
plush animal creatures on TV, including
Barney.
