Slangman's World
Season 1
SLANGMAN'S WORLD introduces children ages 2-6 to the world of foreign languages and cultures in an environment of music, puppetry, animation, and magic. It's "Dr. Seuss meets Sesame Street" where Slangman (Burke), a high-energy unpredictable wizard and wordsmith, invites a studio audience of children into his enchanted multicultural world where each Muppet-like character serves a specific function to help children broaden their language skills and their view of the world. It's Mr. Rogers with a foreign-language twist.
