School and The Backyard Gang

School and the Backyard Gang was a 1996 CBS Original Show that had a 1996 2nd incarnation. The Show was created at the Last Minute when Julie Aigner Clark, Joan Ganz Cooney, and Jim Henson feared that Children's Television, despite being home to the World's highest-rated programs, was dated. They created a Mickey Mouse Club Parody for Babies and Toddlers. The show aired weekdays at 5:30 PM and was rerun until 1996. This version was notable for launching the careers of Connie Stevens, Anthony Field, and Marlee Mantin. Aside from a single episode on YouTube, a "best of" DVD containing clips of the show, and clips of performances of the show, episodes are hard to come across.
