Puppets in Entertainment
51The Short Answer is...No.
"Blue's Clues", "Ooh and Aah", and "Sesame Street" are just a few of the television shows that still use puppets. There are also: "Its a Big, Big World", "Barney", "Teletubbies", "Bunnytown", "Johnny and the Sprites", and "Jack's Big Music Show". In the adult realm there are even more; such as: "Crank Yankers" and "Puppet Up! Unscensored", which belongs to the Jim Henson company. Puppets and television still have a long relationship ahead of them, especially in the genre of children's programming.
