The Most Important Person

The Most Important Person was an animation/live action series of 66 short subjects of important topics in the lives of children.[1] They were produced in 1972 by Sutherland Learning Associates. From 1972 to 1975, these shorts were seen as part of CBS's Captain Kangaroo program.[2]

The main characters were an ostrich named Fumble, the fur-covered Hairy, the loquacious Bird and two children, Mike and Nicola.[3]

From 1975 to 1981, these shorts were later syndicated to local television stations, mostly independent stations that ran large amounts of non-CG animated cartoons and other children's programming. They also ran in the late 1970s on a few PBS stations running in-school programming. Some pre-1994 syndicated prints of The Underdog Show have also included Most Important Person shorts.

A later spin-off, The Kingdom of Could Be You, featuring the children from The Most Important Person, was also produced by Sutherland Learning Associates.
