PBS orders Donkey Hodie, inspired by the Mister Rogers puppet
-
The original Donkey Hodie puppet appeared on 59 episodes of Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. The new kids' puppet show, described as a "social-emotional-series” to help children ages 3-5 “navigate the frustrations and challenges of childhood," will revolve around Donkey Hodie, the granddaughter of the original Donkey Hodie character, now known as "Grampy Hodie."
