welcome home puppet show

The "Welcome Home" puppet show was an American children's television program that aired from October 11, 1969, to sometime in 1974. It was created and produced by The Playfellow Workshop. The show featured a colorful cast of puppets living in a town called Home and included animated and illustrated storybook segments. The main character was Wally Darling, who often spoke directly to the viewer as part of the neighborhood community of puppets. The show was known for its lively sets, entertaining stories, and a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Despite its popularity, much of the show is considered lost media, with ongoing efforts by fans through the Welcome Home Restoration Project to recover more information and materials related to it. The show has some elements that suggest a deeper, possibly darker storyline beneath its cheerful exterior.
