were they? god i loved that show. Yes they were the original puppets on Mr Dressup. Casey was a blond haired kid and finnigan was a grey dog. The puppet master retired while the show was still running(did puppeteering and voices) and so they got new puppets in. So some of you probably never knew they existed. Just like many people won't know who Mr Roeper was on Sesame Street and that Snuffleupagus wasn't always on the show and started out as Big Bird's imaginary friend that only he could see. Nor will people know the true glory of Saturday Morning Cartoons in the 80's and 90's. Great shows like My Pet Monster, Captain N, The Real Ghostbusters, X-men, Smurfs, Gummi Bears, Spider Man(not the 60's one), Alf-tales, Karate Kid, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(original), Beetlejuice, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Garfield and Friends, Batman, Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling!, Droids: The Adventures of R2D2 and C3PO and there's even more(and yes I watched every single show listed) I'd be hard pressed to get up any earlier than 7:30am on any weekday, even with an alarm. But come Saturday as a kid I'd get up at 6am and be watchin cartoons til 10-11am. Ah those were the days.
