Peppermint Park was a low budget direct to VHS series in the late 80's to early 90's. The show was primarily educational and focused on various topics such as the alphabet, animals, and fire safety. It seems to be heavily influenced by the children's television series Sesame Street due to it's educational content and use of puppets and actors.

History[]

The show's first episode released in 1987 on VHS. Due to various reasons such as poor sales and reception, the show was canceled after it's sixth episode. From 1990 to 1991, it was distributed to Low-Power TV stations by Enoki Films USA, but after that, faded into obscurity. In 2006, a YouTube user named CringeVision uploaded footage of the series, re-uploading 9 in 2010, and in 2012, a YouTube user named romanticbro uploaded even more footage. In 2017, a user named IcyRoserade tracked down and purchased VHS copies of the first five episodes and later uploaded them to his YouTube channel, with the 6th following in 2018. However, there are some segments of it uploaded on YouTube. There are 2 documentaries about in production, one by IcyRoserade (This is a speculation, and may not happen) and another, conformed one by Sebastian Cyr, however, due to Computer Storage Issues and a busy schedule, it might not happen for awhile. On Febuary 10th, 2018, Sebastian Cyr announced that the documentary would be begin production and would be titled Peppermint Park: The Story, and that he would split it into about 5 or 6 parts, like the series. However, it had since been cancelled due to other priorities.
