Changes: Peppermint Park (Found 1980's Direct-to-VHS Series)

Revision as of 16:10, 17 April 2021

The Lost Media Wiki’s article on the subject!

Peppermint Park was an 80's puppet show that was released straight to VHS sometime between the early 80's and early 90's. It had mainly limited releases normally published by low-Budget companies.

History

Because of the show's obscurity, not much information can be said what the show is about. All that is known is it was a rip-off of Sesame Street featuring very disturbing doll-headed puppets teaching lessons such as letters, colors and numbers. TV Tropes describes the series as straight to video and straight from hell. The show was mentioned by the YouTuber Blameitonjorge on his Top 20 Unintentionally Disturbing Kid's Shows From Around The World video.

Because of the shows rarity, only a few clips currently exist on the internet including the opening sequence. The show was produced by Mark V Productions. It is unknown if full episodes exist.

Some known information involves some of the sketches. Ernie loves the letter M and sings a song describing it with words that begin with M. There is also Manyard who sings about being blue to teach other meanings of the word blue. There was also a Scarecrow, a video about the gang showcasing bubbles, stoplights, crackers, and little to no information about the show makes it all the more creepier. The puppets look like actors who had their heads removed and replaced with a creepy doll. No one knows what happened with the franchise.

No full VHS copies exist online. Only minutes of clips from random episodes.

Some of the VHS's were put on Amazon, however some of which are currently unavailable:

-Some known information involves some of the sketches. Ernie loves the letter M and sings a song describing it with words that begin with M. He has a voice that could make ears bleed and the song is poorly written. There is also Manyard who sings about being blue (because he used drugs at one point... But a four year old wouldent know that...) to teach other meanings of the word blue.
