What were the names of Mr. Rogers' friends in the land of make believe (or whatever he called that place)?

I don't recall 5, 7 or 8.

The cow wasn't purple, was she? I recall a big purple cow suit from some show in the far distant past.

Thanks, btw. :-)

wow, you know way too much about this! Hey, what ever happen to kukla, fran and ollie? (not sure I'm spelling them right)...

Re:

I don't know too much, just where to find the information. ;)

For example: "Even after the show was canceled in 1957, Kukla, Fran and Ollie lived on in specials, guest appearances, and live performances through the early 1980s. As a children's show that was entertaining but never patronizing, it influenced countless later programs, including The Muppets and Sesame Street. Although the Kuklapolitans lacked the high budgets and complex technology of today, they proved that it is possible to touch people profoundly using only imagination and love."

No, the cow wasn't purple, but the Purple Panda was also on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. For that cast of characters and their pics, click here:
