Anyone know what the title of this 70's kids show is?
I remember watching a children's show when I was a kid in the early to mid 70's about a bunch of puppet kids that built a spaceship in their yard and flew off into space, visiting strange worlds and having adventures. The puppets were pretty ugly, but the rest of the show (the sets, aliens, etc.) was pretty cool. I remember one planet they went to was inhabited by creatures made out of things like brushes and other household items. I know that sounds cheesy, but I thought it was a pretty cool show as a kid. It was pretty bizzarre and I've been trying to find out what the hell the show was called. It may have been a British show, as it kind of reminded me of shows like "Dr. Who." I don't know. Anyway, if this sounds familiar to someone, please post a reply. Thanks.

Yeah, I don't think it's a Crofft show actually, but that's a good thought. I know it wasn't one of those listed at that link. I'm pretty familiar with most of the Crofft shows. For some reason I'm thinking it was a British show. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Sounds like "Vegetable Soup". Those hideous puppets weren't the whole show, they were just one part. It also had hideous cartoons. The entire thing scared the hell out of me.

It's got several photos from the show, including the "Outerscope II" segment. That show used to give me the creeps as a kid too but I also thought it was fascinating. That was the beauty of the live-action kids shows of the 70's - alot of them were very bizzarre but imaginative as hell. Anyway, thanks again. One more childhood mystery solved.
