Summary

We're on vacation but stick around for this classic interview. If you grew up in the 1970s, you know exactly who my guests are today. I spoke with Doug and Emmy Jo (Doug Momary and Emmy Jo Peden) from The New Zoo Revue television series, one of the most iconic and unusual kids shows from my generation. New Zoo Revue ran from 1972-1977 and was hugely influential in terms of children's shows that followed. We were also joined by Freddie the Frog -- go to bobcesca.com to check out a photo. For so many of us, Doug and Emmy Jo were our TV parents. Make sure to follow Doug and Emmy Jo on their Instagram.
