New Zoo Revue was more my younger sister’s “show” than it was my own, but since it was always on in the mornings when we were getting ready for school, I’ve seen it probably hundreds of times.

I thought that “Charlie” the bookish owl was pretty cool and I related to him. And can we talk about Emmy Jo? Good god was she hot! Hot in that Elizabeth Banks kinda way, but much more innocent-seeming, even in those micro mini-skirts she sometimes wore. She was a six year old’s idea of a sex symbol back then (or at least my idea at that age).

In real life, “Emmy Jo” (Emily Pedon), has been married to her co-star “Doug” (Momary, the show’s creator) for over 40 years.
