The Setting: “Home”

The show’s colorful and exaggeratedly designed town, aptly named “Home,” served as the backdrop for its delightful characters. Within this whimsical town, you’d find elements like a post office, a grocery store, and a host of brightly colored, fantastical creatures. The neighbors, the show’s inhabitants, took center stage, accompanied by their recurring segments and activities. These included arts and crafts with Eddie Dear, plays performed by Sally Starlet, and Wally Darling painting pictures with the help of other cast members. Wally even spoke directly to the viewer, making them feel like an additional neighbor in this vibrant world1.

The Mystery and Restoration

Despite its success, “Welcome Home” vanished abruptly from television in 1974, leaving fans puzzled. The Welcome Home Restoration Project has since embarked on a mission to uncover this long-forgotten puppet show. While most episodes remain lost, the project has discovered merchandise, advertisements, vinyl records, and illustrated materials related to the show. Their journey continues as they strive to document and prove the existence of this captivating piece of entertainment history12.
