    Best Show Ever

    This show was awesome! It had a really cool concept and was positive and educational. When I wasn't watching it, I remember even pretending to be in the show when I would play with my friends. It was wholesome entertainment that kids just don't get to experience today. They need to bring the show back because every kid should get the opportunity to watch it. I watched it all the time growing up and was very pleasantly surprised when my high school drama teacher turned out to be Rick Mitchem, who played Crabtree! I was so excited to tell him how much of an important part of my childhood he was!

    Fun, Classic Christian Television Series!

    The world needs more shows like Sunshine Factory. While low budget, you can tell that they put their available funds to use! Fun, interactive sets combine with colorful, goofy puppets make this show exciting, and educational!

    Considering that this series was filmed in the late 70s and early 80s they were incredibly diverse in their cast, which I would call "ahead of their time".

    The side antics of the puppets and costumed characters brings a fun element to each episode.

    Something that is missing in children's programing today is the delivery of life lessons and educational concepts. This series capitalized on both of those, delivering both in a pleasable manner.

    If you're in need of some clean, family feel-good television, I'd recommend giving Sunshine Factory a watch!
