I was "too old" for this show when it came out, but I loved it anyways! And then there was a trend where older kids would watch "baby shows" so I was able to watch Puzzle Place as much as I wanted! Anyone remember Dudley the Dragon too!! That was a cute one!
Where I'm from, we believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it- History. -

YES, I loved Dudley the Dragon! One of the only things I can remember from that show was the crab apple tree.
About this topic though, the exact same thing happened to me, I knew the show existed, I remembered a few random figments. I ended up looking on Wikipedia at a list of old discontinued PBS shows, and I saw the name "Puzzle Place" and it hit me.

Hey..I'm having a similar problem right now, maybe you can help me out. I remember this show from when I was a little kid, called 'Whimsy's House'. I plugged it in on Google but nothing came up. I think it might be because of the spelling.
Anyways, it was probably on Nick Jr. and it was one of those puppet shows. The main plot, I'm pretty sure, was this girl Whimsy's grandma would take care of like three or four other kids. So they would all come to her house.
For whatever reason, I can remember the whole theme song. It went something like:
Wake up in the morning, let's start the day
Everybody's coming over to play
Wake up Mom and Dad, the kids'll be here
At whimsy's house
Look in Grandma's room
Is she still in her bed?
No she's already in the kitchen, baking bread
Forget the stairs, use the railing instead
At Whimsy's house, At whimsy's House!
So if it rings any bells, please share so I know its not just a figment of my imagination. -

Sorry I can't help you there. =[
But on the topic, it's amazing to see so many people had the same revelation I did today in P.E.!
I'm a freshman in high school and during volleyball all of a sudden I remembered this show. I go to Munirah and ask her if she remembers something about a show called something like "Puzzle Place" with a character named Kiki. She thinks for a moment and freaks out after remembering it. We go to Marissa and she remembers too! And so did Stephanie, it was hilarious. We started trying to remind ourselves of the show because we all aparently loved it a LOT when we were young acording to my parents.
o_O It was so embarassing when my mom said I had a think for Skye as a kid. -

Yeah, you just spelled it wrong it's Wimzie's House. Her mom was a pilot and her dad was a fireman. I couldn't get my brother or sister to remember it. I remember waking up eating Rice Krispy Treat cereal while I watched this showthose were the days. I loved the puzzle place too.

The same thing happened to me with a couple of shows, I remember this one since I have the set of 6 PVC figures still, but another show was "Bobby's World" and I had to ask on "I Need To Know" board
All I knew was it was a kid, on a big wheel in the theme, and the name Dennis popped into my head, I knew it was something's world
The other show I watched all the time was Do Over which again, I had to ask.
I hate when a show is cancelled and I forget all about it then try to remember it later
Do I CAUSE YOUR DEATH? Just like you caused Erin's?

It's funny that we all nearly forgot about it. It must not have been too memorable.
Although now that I do remember it, more and more is coming back now.
I remember an episode about one of the characters being Jewish, and not wanting to offend one of the other characters by not eating some bread they'd made, because of the holidays.
Or something like that.

What's this about not memorable? Haha, I have a whole bunch of random Puzzle Place memories that I've flashbacked on throughout the years
@ muylentomeri: It seems like everyone that I've asked also had a thing for Skye! lol! I always thought that he and Julie should have gotten "married", I was such a weird kid
But that's not why it went off air, I think it was b/c it had already exceeded 3 seasons. Most kids shows only have a 3-season contract, unless they're insanely popular, like Sesame Street.
@ DreamOn24: Yeah, it was called "Whimzie's House", it was a canadian program that started airing on PBS in 1997. I remember it too

Same thing happened to me when I was in study hall the other day. It was weird. I was bored, so I was drawing a picture of some random cartoon guy, and when I was done I turned to my friend, and I was like, "I know this guy from somewhere." And my friend went, "Well you drew it. Shouldn't you know?" And it was a guy from the Puzzle Place! I couldn't remember what the show was called, and it was killing me all day. When I got home, I asked my mom, and she thought I was crazy. She said that all she remembered me watching as a kid was the Big Comfy Couch.

OMG!
I've been trying to remember this show for a few years now. No one knew what I was talking about except my mom and she couldn't remember the name either! My favorite character was Jody. I had the Jody mini playset. That's almost all I could remember was the playset, something about a puzzle piece, and several children of different races. Yesterday I searched "kids shows from early 90's" on google, and the first result was a list of kid's shows and the first one was the Puzzle Place, and I was like, "Thats It!!!!!" I went on youtube and watched an episode immediatelyI knew the whole theme song after 10 years. I'm 15 now, and I watched it ALL THE TIME when I was 4 and 5.
What happened to good kids shows? Like the Puzzle Place and Gummi Bears? Now kids watch Hannah Montana and Boobah. Blechh. I mean, when I was a kid, all the shows really were educational, and there weren't any bad references intended to go over kids' heads. They should start showing Puzzle Place re-runs. -

Ohh man, I remember this show, but only vaguely I had a Puzzle Place backpack when I was in grade 1 it was the BOMB. But one of the characters got ripped off it, i think it was Julie. By accident. God I loved Skye. He was my MAN.
Such an unexplainable euphoria I experience whenever I remember these old shows I used to watch I remember Whimzie's House too with Whimzie and Jonas and Lulu and Horace. XD God I hope I got their names right, it'd be down right shameful if I didn't kid's shows nowadays are way too brainless like really, Teletubbies and Boobah? Honestly! Bring back these wholesome, enjoyable educational shows!!! Like Puzzle Place, woot woot!
