    Title for a 70's / 80's Kids TV Show?
    Does anybody remember a kids TV show during the Late 70's,and possibly Early 80's that had an elephant character in costume (not snuffleupagus) that held the end of his trunk like a megaphone? Also there were children and young adult actors on the show as well. The actors would introduce learning segments by opening what looked like a ring box and a small screen would appear in the ring box and show educational information.

    Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I know it's not "Dumbo's Circus". Dumbo obviously revolved around "Disney's Dumbo". The show I'm looking for was much earlier, and had more of an educational theme- plus my family didn't have cable at the time, so it had to have been on one of the 4 or 5 basic public channels. Thanks anyway!

    I think you're talking about The Great Space Coaster.

    Edison the elephant had a long trunk that the actor inside controlled with a rod at the end - that you could remember being like a megaphone:

    As a bit of trivia, The puppeteer for Goriddle Gorilla would later make Elmo famous
