Clyde Frog Show was a television program for children in the 1970s. It was produced by the Mississippi Authority for Educational Television (MAETV). In the show, puppets, most notably the title character, taught children about self esteem, feelings, and attitudes. The program's entire run consisted of ten episodes. Clyde Frog, however, originally appeared in another MAETV program entitled About Safety, in which puppets were used to convey messages about safety and first aid. About Safety ran for 47 episodes. The shows were quite successful, and MAETV syndicated the programs; thus, they were seen throughout the United States.^[1]

[edit] Trivia

• The character "Clyde Frog" has been featured in several episodes of South Park as a favorite stuffed toy of Eric Cartman, serving as way to help Cartman get ideas on his own. In Die Hippie, Die, Cartman considers Clyde Frog as the 'best stuffed animal he ever had.' In Tonsil Trouble, Kyle Broflovski rips Clyde Frog's head off in rage due to the fact Cartman has infected Kyle with HIV because that he was laughing at Cartman for holding HIV, although he felt sorry for it, seeming to think that it's 'ironic'.
