    Great little show.
    I remember it fondly, the two puppets Casey and Finnegan, that big trunk, etc. This along w/ the Friendly Giant were just a fine pairing of great kids shows back when. There wasn't much about it that changed-same ideas, songs, characters, which I think is a must for that early-childhood kind of viewing. Continuity counts.

    Felt bad when I heard he'd died, about a year or so after the Friendly Giant had too. Both were certainly icons of my youth. Something relaxing, approachable and memorable about these shows as compared to Sesame Street for example. You didn't get pounded over the head w/ graphics and stunts, just gentle puppets, themes and the like. Very good stuff.
