Mr. Dressup segment (1980s)

Recovered from robatsea, Mr. Dressup, Casey, and Finnegan set up a band and sing some songs. Uncertain about the exact year, but it's either 1984 or 1985.

"tape makes a funny noise when you take it off the role of tape doesn't it?"

Man I miss this. Used to watch this all the time when I was a kid.

Nowadays all they got is garbage for childrens shows

@RPSteve

always thought of Casey as a boy, just had a boy's bouncy quality about him. a girl would probably be more careful, ie "You think we should try it another way, Mr Dressup? Let's see what would happen." Just a different thought, the way yummy chocolate's the best kind of opposite to delicious vanilla

Casey sounds like Victoria Jackson.

Mr. Dressup Rocks! I wish our kids could be introduced to his antics! Oh; that Mr. Dressup!

He's a scamp! I miss that assexual Casey too!

Finnegan FTW

Such nostalgia. It's such a shame that kid's shows now are pure drivel compared to the classics like Mr. Dressup and Fred Penner's Place.

And however, on at least one episode,  Mr. Dressup has referred to Casey as "He".

[RPSteve]

Did you imagine Casey as a boy or a girl? I imagined him as a boy, and he still is a boy to me. Just that the puppet's gender was never officially stated though Casey is frequently thought to be a boy. It was done that way so children of either sex could relate to the puppet, and the puppet could be whatever the young viewers believed it to be. Feel free to reply to my comment and tell me what you gender you imagined Casey as.

remember watching these ALL THE TIME. man i was young. most episodes were great, and if you were REALLY lucky, the owl in the painting would talk and his eyes would move, it was very rare, i hoped for it though.

Although Mr Dressup Passed Away I Think They Should Still Run His Shows.
