Trivia / Peppermint Park

• Copiously Credited Creator: A guy named John Horton is credited as producer, director, technical director, writer, announcer, and music composer.
• Follow the Leader:
  • Obviously an attempt to copy Sesame Street.
  • The humanoid puppets were apparently supposed to resemble Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.
  • The Story Lady segments seem inspired by Reading Rainbow.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The actual VHS tapes are rare and command high prices online.
• No Budget: The whole show is a perfect storm of cheap-looking puppets, painted backgrounds, cheesy video effects, and synth-heavy music.
