The Letter M. Peppermint Park

a fucking hideous, creepy segment from an obscure kids show called “Peppermint Park” (not to be confused with another kids show “Peppermint Place”) featuring a frightening puppet named “Ernie” singing about the letter M…
I don’t know much about this show, but there were at least five 30 minute volumes released on home video in 1987.. not sure if “Peppermint Park” was a tv show, a direct-to-video collection, or something for teachers to show in classrooms..
One fateful night, i was at Movie Trading Company with this skinhead chick i was dating.. we had a habit of raiding the bargain bin, looking for shitty kids videos to make fun of.. we spotted this mysterious “Peppermint Park” and went apeshit.. the backcover featured a guy with a pig mask sitting on a swing, and we instantly snapped it up.. we sped home, got trashed on everclear, put in the tape, and LAUGHED our asses off for the entire show.. i don’t think i’ve ever laughed that hard, before or since..
First off, here was NO pig to be found in the entire video, but.. there were plenty of moments that made the tape a worthwhile experience.. The “show” was like a cheap clone of “Sesame Street” and “Romper Room,” but poorly executed.. a TON of fucking creepy puppet segments that would instill nightmares into ANY unsuspecting kid, bad songs, confusing stock footage of kids in a playground, a shitty story read by the “Story Lady” (blonde bimbo whose dialog was clearly overdubbed).. but now, I’m posting the highlight of the entire video..
