<P> In 1981, the format of Romper Room was overhauled and re-titled Romper Room and Friends . One hundred syndicated versions were taped in Baltimore with "Miss Molly" as host . The biggest change to the program was the introduction of a series of new puppet characters, including a full costume character named Kimble, and puppets named Granny Cat and Up - Up . Kimble and Up - Up were performed by Bruce Edward Hall and Granny Cat by Molly McCloskey aka "Miss Molly". The three characters were developed by The Great Jones Studios in NYC . The new characters starred in a series of vignettes, somewhat similar to the "Neighborhood of Make - Believe" segments on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and were meant to introduce or reinforce simple moral lessons . About 100 of these skits--each running three to five minutes--were produced for insertion into local Romper Room programs; the host would introduce each segment and comment after its conclusion . </P> <P> In addition, a new opening and closing credits sequence, and lyrical theme--"Romper Room and Friends", containing mostly nonsensical lyrics, but also naming the characters Up - Up, Do Bee, Granny Cat, and Kimble in the lyrics as well--were introduced, replacing the "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme that had been used . </P> <P> Nancy Terrell, known to audiences as "Miss Nancy" was the national hostess in the 1960s and early 1970s when Romper Room was seen on ABC - owned and operated stations throughout the United States in locales that did not have their own hostesses . </P> <P> Romper Room had aired on Atlanta stations since the 1950s but, in December 1976, it found nationwide exposure as part of the WTCG morning lineup when Ted Turner began broadcasting the station's signal nationally via satellite . (3 years later, WTCG became SuperstationWTBS, while the programming remained essentially unchanged .) Unlike the nationally syndicated version, the WTCG / WTBS version of Romper Room was locally produced . </P>
