Featured review
I will never forget this show
This program was an intrinsic part of my childhood and I am sad there isn't much info on it here. It was about a lady named Robin who had adopted two chimpanzee siblings (both puppets), Buster and his little sister Vanilla. Buster's best friend Russel (an orangutan puppet) was also a main character. I remember the show dealt with the issue of adoption a bit as well as various other life lessons. Buster and Russel were always getting into trouble and Vanilla was always doing typical little sister things like tattling or crying to Robin that the boys wouldn't let her play, etc. Anyways either the same puppet that "played" Buster or a look-a-like was used in the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire" at the end, in the children's program where Mrs. Doubtfire is the host, and her co-host is a chimpanzee puppet. That puppet looks *just* like Buster, and that movie always brings back memories of "Buster and Me". If this show ever surfaced on DVD I would buy it in an instant.
