I remeber as kid watching this show on PBS. It had the lions sleeps tonight as the theme song. (If I am not mistaken)and had these kid puppets that got on a space ship. Anyone remeber this show as well.

Thanks in advance.

You're not thinking of Animal Crackers are you? There was a spaceship involved in the opening credits of that, and a lion too, though the theme tune was somewhat different, as I recall...

'Do you believe in rock and roll?
Into the starship and off we go!
Here we come to Pop Land... here we come to Pop Land..
Animal Crackers! Animal Crackers!
Bungo(?), Rory, Twang(?) and Zoom(?)
Animal Crackers! Animal Crackers... ' etc.

Cheers

I am looking for the name of this show, too!

It showed mostly on PBS. It had puppet kids traveling around in a homemade spaceship.

Anybody?
