Mopatop's Shop

Mopatop's Shop, which premiered on ITV in the UK in 1999, features a large green Muppet named Mopatop and his assistant Puppyduck. Together they run Mopatop's Shop, a shop where you can buy anything you could ever think or dream of. 260 ten-minute episodes were made, and aired daily. It was a co-production between Jim Henson Productions and Carlton Television.
Another main character is Moosey Mouse, a young mouse who lives in the loft above the shop with Father Mouse, Mother Mouse and his baby sister. There's also local deliveryman Lamont the Sloth, neighbor Claudia Bird, and fix-it rabbit Odd-Job Gerald. Each episode features background Muppets from The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and other Henson TV shows, as customers.
The show was produced and written by Jocelyn Stevenson, who started working with the Muppets as co-creator and principal writer on Fraggle Rock. Stevenson talked about what inspired the series: "Kids love to play shop. And I liked the idea of a shop where you could get anything you could ever think or dream of - from a happy thought to a giant strawberry jam sandwich to a hiccup. The idea of a show for young people which actively invites them to think and dream appealed to me. It promotes goodness and wellbeing."About the Show
==Show Structure and Content==
Mopatop's Shop is aimed at teaching lessons to children on social skills, getting along with each other, communicating, and basic courtesy.
The episodes start with Mopatop welcoming the viewer into his shop where you can get everything you want, and even things you didn't know you wanted. He offers a few items from his seemingly endless stock, including "a whistling fox, a squid in stripey socks, or a surprise in a box," or maybe "a giant green pea, a sparkly blue sea, or a bird in a tree."
