Way Back Whenesday: Mr Dressup

Mr. Dressup is a classic children's show. It was wonderful and definitely part on my childhood.
The show aired from 1967 to 1996. Mr. Dressup was actually Ernie Coombs and this happened to be one of the very first names I knew (of actors).
When I first started watching the show, Casie and Finnegan lived in the treehouse in the backyard, but later on these characters were dropped from the show as the puppeteer retired. They were replaced by some other characters such as Chester the Crow and Granny, but they weren't as good. Or perhaps I had just grown up enough to not be as interested in them as I was the previous puppets.
