The plot follows humorous and twisted retellings of classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, presented with meta-humor and adult jokes. Each episode reimagines a well-known story, such as Sleeping Beauty, in a playful and self-aware way, blending traditional fairy-tale elements with modern comedic commentary.
The Secret World of Benjamin Bear is an animated television series produced from 2003 to 2009 by PorchLight Entertainment and Amberwood Entertainment. It is still being aired in Canada on both Family and Disney Junior specialty TV channels and in the USA on KidMango and Christian Television Network.
The title character is a stuffed toy bear that, together with other stuffed bears, is "alive" and have adventures of their own. They are very careful to try to appear inanimate when in sight of humans. The teddy bears of brother Max and sister Eliza are often seen together, even though Max is sometimes mean to his sister.
Benjamin Bear was voiced by Jonathan Crombie. Leslie Hetdgen was the consultant of the TV series.
The bears' main duty is to their child. They keep them happy, act as a friend to talk to when in need, and secretly keep them out of harm's way and on the right path to success.
Ding Dong School, billed as "the nursery school of the air", was a half-hour children's TV show which began on WNBQ-TV in Chicago, Illinois a few months before its four-year run on NBC.
A precursor to both Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, the show was hosted live by Frances Horwich, and at one point was the most popular TV series aimed at preschoolers.
The show and its host, Miss Frances, were mentioned in the comic strip Peanuts in 1955 and 1956.
The show was revived in 1959 as a syndicated program, now videotaped and distributed by National Telefilm Associates. This iteration ran until 1965.
Five NBC kinescoped episodes from 1954-1955 are housed at the Library of Congress, in the J. Fred and Leslie W. MacDonald Collection.
