Sam And Friends (Japanese Version)

Sam and Friends is a puppet show that was shown on NBC from 1955 to 1961. It was shown in Japan on TBS from 1965-1968. It reran on Nippon Television in 1970. It had a Japanese host introducing the segments. The original doesn't have that. It was planned to rerun again on NET in 1971, but it was cancelled. If the Muppet segment was a song, it was in English with subtitles. If it was talking, it was dubbed.
