Subject: Clyde Frog/"About Safety"
Written By: AL-B Mk. III on 12/10/07 at 9:28 pm
Back in the 70's there was a puppet show called "About Safety" that was produced by Mississippi Public Television. The main character was named "Clyde Frog" and the show was, well, about safety. ;D It was on PBS and it usually came on during the day just before Sesame Street.
Clyde Frog (who was obviously a cheap knockoff of Kermit, but with a weird, high pitched voice) was a naive, mischievious sort who did a lot of dumb dangerous stuff which would inevitably come back to bite him.
One episode I remember was about what you should do in case of a tornado, and although Clyde actually had the good sense to get his ass indoors and take shelter, there was a character who was flying a news helicopter in a rather reckless manner, and he got too close to the tornado and wound up crashing. (It kinda weirded me out.)
Anyone else remember this? I've looked all over YouTube and have found nothing.

I remember that! I saw it when I was home sick from school one day. It kinda gave me the creeps too. Clyde Frog is also Cartman's stuffed animal on South Park. Thanks for the creepy memory!!
