I'm not sure if this thread was ever started or if it did and it never worked. Well, I'll start one because I've got a puzzler I've been meaning to ask for a while.
I remember this show from my youth that promoted fantasy drawing. The opening of the show was an animation of traveling through a maze or a hedgemaze. Each episode would be built around some fantasy element or character that he would practice drawing or explaining. Then, at the end of the episode, there would be a larger canvas that he would add that character or element to. So, with each progressive episode, he adds more and more elements to this canvas to create a fantasy world of sorts.
If anybody's got any idea of what this show was, that would be great. I can only tell you that I was born in 1981 and this might have been a show I've been watching around the age of ten or so.

I'm trying to find this TV show about some guy and two goofy looking puppets watching a movie. Here's the catch, they were like cracking jokes during the whole thing.
Anybody know what that is?
(Oh, c'mon, you knew somebody was going to do it sooner or later)

Well, Captain Hygiene's "Commander Mark" provided the keywords for finding out that the show I watched was called The Secret City. So, thank you for the clue and that's one mystery solved.

I never remember the name of the show, I just remember watching Commander Mark all the time when I was little.

I watched a cartoon when I was little and I can't remember the name of it. It was a kid who had a statue of a Pegasus on his nightstand in his room and when he put it on the floor, it got bigger and turned real. Then they would go off flying into the night to save people or something. Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

I did a search and apparently somebody else on another forum was asking the same thing. Is this what you were looking for?

Yep. Dat's da one. Thanks, Crow the Plumber. Unfortunately, it takes five hours for me to watch anything that takes five minutes on this computer.
Okay - here's another one folks: (Guess I could just look it up online myself, but I want to see if anyone knows about it on here):
There was some weird TV show with witches and a haunted mansion or something to that effect. My memories are REALLY sketchy on this one. It was kind of a skit show. There was a really old librarian who told stories (he would always blow dust off the books he was reading - a LOT of dust), and there was this witch or warlock chef who kept bumping his head on a pot that was hanging over his cauldron. I wouldn't even know what to type to look this one up.

Sounds kind of like Once Upon A Time, which used to be on PBS back in the day. There was a witch keeping the librarian (Marion) captive. Every week Marion would put a bunch of ingredients into a machine and it would spit out a book that she would then read to the audience. I'm not sure if this is the one you're looking for, but here's a link: alboe.org/ouat.htmlIf that's not it, well, good luck to you EDIT: Just noticed you referred to the librarian as "he," which probably shoots a hole in this theory.

No, that's definitely not it. But thanks, anyway.
