New Zoo Revue is an American half-hour children's television show that ran in first-run syndication from 1972 to 1977.[3]
The 196-episode musical comedy-format show conveyed the concepts of cooperation and guidance for living in contemporary society. Each episode dealt with a topic such as moving away, courtesy, bragging, or patience.
Though hosted by humans Doug and Emmy Jo (real-life spouses Douglas Momary and Emily Josephine Peden), the show featured costumed full-bodied puppet characters, primarily Freddie the Frog, Henrietta Hippo, and Charlie the Owl. Momary composed over 600 songs for the series.[4]
The show received awards and recommendations from the National Education Association and the National School Board Association.
New Zoo Revue was acquired from O Atlas Entertainment and the show's original co-creator, Barbara Atlas; the property is now owned by Frank A. O'Donnell, who is based in Las Vegas. The library continues to be licensed and broadcast by various networks across the US. Episodes can be viewed, and merchandise and DVDs of the original episodes can be purchased on the Internet.
