What happens

Peppermint Park is a direct-to-video children's show consisting of six volumes, released in 1987 and 1988 on VHS. The show is a mixture of live action, animation, and puppets. Characters included Ernie (not the one from Sesame Street), who sang a song about the letter M; Snorkee, a dragon who is often messing with time; Maynard, an elderly man who loves blue, blue cheese, and laments over his wasted youth; Prof. Goodstuff, a Yoda lookalike scientist who acts like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Shirley U'Jest, an African-American woman who loves red, and Piggle, a pig with a big Cookie Monster-like appetite whose voice was similar to that of Kermit the Frog (voiced like Lazy Smurf in volumes 2-6), among others. Many of the show's elements seem to have been copied from Sesame Street. The show was filmed in Los Angeles, CA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
