Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US
New Zoo Revue was a half-hour childrens series featuring live-action and costumed characters, including Freddie the Frog, Henrietta Hippo and Charlie the Owl.
Under the direction of schoolteacher Doug and his assistant Emmy Jo, the characters learned lessons on academics, culture and good citizenship through songs, dances and jokes.
Henrietta Hippo was a dainty, soft-spoken southern belle. Although she had the tendency to flirt with the others, Henrietta was actually slightly shy. She also came across as somewhat snobby, annoying everyone by constantly talking about her stunning beauty.
Charlie was a very serious, thoughtful owl who lived in a tall (but elevator accessible) tree. Ever the intellectual, Charlie was also a bit of a know-it-all, never hesitating to let the others know when they were wrong, but taking it very badly when he himself made a mistake.
Freddie the Frog was a carefree, happy-go-lucky amphibian. He was always up for a good time and was often amazed at all the wonders the world had to offer. In spite of his endless enthusiasm, Freddie was also a tad gullible. He believed most of what he was told, often making him the brunt of Henrietta and Charlie's jokes. Freddie was particularly close with Doug, whom he admired greatly.
With friendly postman Mr. Dingle and nosy neighbor Mrs. Goodbody occasionally dropping in, the three friends would convene each episode to learn something new from Doug and Emmy Jo.
