[edit] Production notes
WTTW jointly distributed it with Paragon Entertainment Corporation to PBS stations across the country. The rights to the show are currently owned by Boomerang Media through its control of Classic Media.
[edit] Theme song
The opening theme song was written by veteran Hollywood composer Bob Golden. Other songs were written by Square One TV songwriter, John Rodby. Two different arrangements of that song have been used; one involves bouncing, the other strength. The ending theme song featured the children and puppets singing "The Song That Doesn't End", while Lewis frantically attempted to stop them.
An instrumental version of the show's theme song was used for a most recent show of Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop.
[edit] Syndication
Reruns of the first 26 episodes are broadcast on qubo's digital channel, which is partially owned by Classic Media. The show can be seen as a skit in the Fairness segment of Kids for Character.
