Sitcom For Children
I loved seeing it on Sunday mornings when I was a tyke, after having seen the "B. J. And Dirty Dragon Show" in previous years. That was a variety show; this was a puppet show with a theme of a hotel owned by a crazy old man, Gigglesnort, who thought the hotel was a ship he was piloting, with Bill Jackson the one human character as the manager, Dirty Dragon as the furnace custodian, Blob as a big lump of clay to be formed into whatever character was needed for the episode, and Weird, Wally, Fenster, Mother Plum Tree, and other puppets as various staff or residents, with occasionally other puppets as Footsie as Weird's literal leg as a friend, gorillas in suits, the Lemon Joke Kid as a villain, or a group of space aliens, both friendly and villainous. In the middle of the series, Dirty Dragon would get his own dragon girlfriend.
It was arguably as crazy as other entertainment of that era, but still fun for the kiddiewinks. You might see various crazy situations such as aliens arriving and causing trouble, or Dirty Dragon playing pranks, or Wally turning into a werewolf. But people doing bad things get their comeuppance, or bad situations get resolved, with even Gigglesnort showing an example of sensible bravery (as opposed to blind bravery, lose-your-head bravery, etc.) Something to enjoy years ago if you found "Sesame Street" too flashy or Mister Rogers's voice too discomfiting. (I knew several people who disliked "Mister Rogers's Neighborhood" even as children because they disliked the way he talked.)
As for the show supposedly being "Satanic", if you want a truly Satanic show, try "Caillou", which is about a spoiled, badly behaving brat whose parents never discipline him. God knows how that got onto PBS Kids.
