Here Today Gone Tomorrow

Henrietta Hippo
where on earth did you go?

the New Zoo Review
started out as new

but the years flew by fast
and nothing seems to last

I am a avid viewer of such child geared programs for the last 14 years. Never heard of The New Zoo Review. I get your gist though. Characters come and go. do you recall Mr. Green Jeans or Capt. Kangaroo? Good one Robert.

That was in the Early 70's not sure how long it lasted! I do know of Captain Kangaroo as well! Seems to me there was more children's shows back then. Thank you Reason A.

by the way, I saw your question to nette. Yes, all the animals like hippos, lions, tigers, etc are very endangered. Maybe in a hundred years we will only know of them from zoos or pictures on the internet. So sad.
