When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Allegra's Window? Eureeka's Castle? Fraggle Rock? The Tweenies?
Maybe one of these? https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+puppet+show+kids&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Do you remember any lyrics from the song?
@Bootlebat Unfortuntely, I don't remember any of the lyrics. Sorry about that.
However, I also remember in the same episode short little animated segments of a random number, as if it were based on Sesame Street.
I think the kids were sitting on the floor rocking their toys from side to side in the song, I think.
Eliot Moose? I found that on The Other Wiki.
Do you know what episode it would be in?
- Sorry for posting twice.
Do you know what episode it would be in?
No, I never actually watched the show.
Also, I think the intro included a bus (if I recall).
The bus intro makes me think of Playdays. It was a BBC show so could have been shown on PBS.
Bump. Is there anyone who can help me with this?
I am almost certain that you are referring to The Hoobs (which, I believe, was by the Jim Henson company).

The date, style, inclusion of real children and song thing all fit The Hoobs. It also included a bus intro like previous comments mentioned (the Hoobmobile was their mobile home and it was a weird bus thing).

Well the intro is very similar to The Hoobs, but I don't think it had any full-bodied puppets in that show. The show I'm referring to does have full-bodied puppets in addition. So I'm not quite sure if it's the show I'm looking for or not.
The Hoobs did air on PBS according to the Internet. It fits almost all the points you mentioned apart from the full-body puppets one.
But did it have any segments where they are were along with the kids and/or short animations?
I remember them visiting children each episode but not 2D animated segments. It's definitely possible that there were some in the show, just that I don't remember them myself.
Can you find any clips from the PBS version of "The Hoobs"?
I had a quick look and I can't. I expect the PBS version to have been identical to the original for the most part.
Maybe you confused The Hoobs with another PBS show by mistake?
Maybe. Do you have any idea on what it is though?
According to the Internet, The Hoobs aired on PBS Sprout. I, however, watched it in the UK on Channel 4.
Edited by Automaton120
PBS Sprout is different from PBS, though.
Well the show I'm referring to aired on PBS in 2001, or sometime between 2000 and 2002.
Hm. I am unfamiliar with PBS programming. I just figured that The Hoobs seemed a good match.
Someone else was asking not long ago about something similar, but the answer they were searching for was The Hoobs - maybe if you find that post you can look at the other options posted there?
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
You ruled out The Hoobs the first time you posted this.
I know it had the same intro, but I don't think The Hoobs had any people dressed up in costumes. I also thought that the show was in a way similar to Sesame Street.
It very possibly is indeed The Hoobs that you are thinking of and your memory of it has simply altered slightly over time.
Is it the show called Big Bag?
There was a question that got buried underneath all the bumps, so I'll go ahead and re-ask it, giving credit to starbond9: Is the show called Big Bag?
Saving the world, one fret button at a time.
Did the show include performers in mascot-type costumes?
Not sure on mascot costumes, but it says it has both puppets with live-action children, and 2d animation. Could this be it?
try the Muppet show
I don't think it was the Muppet Show, and I don't know about Big Bag. Bump.
You want to know why your queries get to 50 replies? YOU BUMP THEM SO MUCH. Including on this post, burying people's actual questions and suggestions between all your bumping!
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Since my old post has over 50 replies, I decided to make them two different posts hoping that it will be easier.
A 2001 short-lived kid's TV show somewhat similar to Sesame Street (I think it was on either PBS, Nickelodeon) with hand puppets and mascot costumes and 2D animation. One episode includes kids (in pajamas, I think) dance-sitting holding a toy (possibly teddy bears) in a classroom, while two life-size puppets in front of a blue tarp or sheet. NOTE: the whole song is played the first time; the second time is the same thing, but the video quickly fades to black and the credits roll while the song is still playing. Does anyone know what the show is? And if so, what episode was I referring to?
Like the first show, this has also been bugging me for the majority of my life, Unlike the first show, however, I have not found any information about it.
