History
Haopy Hippos began in 1969 as a Cartoon Sitcom. As the years went by, it became a children's education show, and became one in 1980.

Audrey Anthony appeared in My First Signs, Wordsworth, and my Favorite Places. At one time, the Happy Hippos guest starred on a Crossover Episode of the Fresh Beat Band.

In 1994 after 26 seasons, it was cancelled. Duck Peter Gordon Sam and Ted helped by doing a comeback special with the Happy Hippos. The show became more popular at the time.

There was a Children's news segment called "The World Today", and one time Sayje guest starred.

In 1998 the show was cancelled again and the last episode was a farewell.

The Happy Hippos Retro Reboot
The show was cancelled once again in 2002. The Happy Hippos' actors David Dawson (boy hippo number one), Simon Turner Cook (boy hippo number two), and Elizabeth Hadfred (girl hippo) were fired. Soon after Simon Turner Cook died, Hadfred and Dawson signed with their producers to recreate the show for adults. The new version was called the Happy Hippos Retro Reboot. The producers wanted Hadfred and Dawson fired again, and the show was cancelled and aired in re-runs on Channel 6 Adults.

Todd and Jamie
Todd and Jamie, a parody of Tom and Jerry, is an animated segment on Happy Hippos
