We All Need the Magic Garden in Our Lives!

"I loved the Magic Garden. I remember this show when it aired on Channel 11 in New York and I lived in New Jersey. It was always on around 2 P.M. every day like clockwork. Even during the summer months out of school, I went in to watch Carole and Janis and friends. For a half-hour, they sang songs, told stories, and taught a lesson. I never knew that there were only 52 episodes. Unfortunately, there are only 10 here. I always thought there had to be hundreds and I probably saw them a dozen times. Thirty years later, I kind of yearn for that period of life when my worry was missing the Magic Garden. I think we all need the Magic Garden in our lives. If you have young children, I highly recommend this show and if there are preschool educators out there. This show is not only wholesome but entertaining and educating and fun as well.

I can't wait

"I can't wait to get this DVD set. I have been waiting for 2 years now. I went to NYC to the museum of Radio and Tv and I saw a few episodes. I cried so much because I felt like I was five years old again. This show was so magical to me. I loved the songs they sang, the beautiful tree and especially Shirlock the squirrel. I wish I could get a puppet just like Shirlock the squirrel. I used to run off the bus from Kindergarten to watch this show. I loved when Shirlock always tried to trick Carole and Paula into giving him the peanuts. I am curious to see which episodes they chose to put on DVD set and if anymore episodes will come out after this set is released. Wouldn't it be great to get the complete set of episodes? I would pay just about anything to get them. If anyone knows which episodes are going to be on this DVD set, please let me know. I am just so excited...."
