1987 MusicFunFactory Happy Hunting and Dip Dip

Music Funfactory (first airing in 1987) was an educational series of programs made to play on television sets in classrooms of 3rd and 4th graders. The show was the brainchild of Fran Powell and she developed the songs and lessons. The set, puppets and nonsensical ad libbing was done by me.
The Music Funfactory series did not receive much replay. My persoanl belief is that there were too many depictions of cultural stereotypes and some of the old folk, patriotic, and spiritual songs were just too much for many enlightened teachers. There were not as many original songs as in Mrs. Cabobble's Caboose.
Fran created a previous series called "Mrs. Cabobble's Caboose" (1986) and had my friend Wayne White create the wonderful set and puppets for that show. Wayne brought me aboard as PT Pickens. That series played for many years all over the United States. Fran wrote many original songs for this series.
This particular episode reflects perspectives that may have been acceptable the time of its creation, 1987, but times change.
