Circle Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Circle Square was a Canadian children's television series that ran from 1974 to 1986. The series was produced by Crossroads Christian Communications in cooperation with the Circle Square network of Christian children's summer camps. (Circle Square Ranches, founded by Crossroads, are Christian based non-profit camps welcoming children of any faith and race.)
Mixing human actors — both youth and adult counsellors — with puppets in a Sesame Street-like manner, the series was set at a Circle Square ranch. Each episode taught a lesson in moral values and Christian faith.
The series was syndicated to Canada and the United States, and usually aired in a weekend slot on stations that also aired Crossroads' 100 Huntley Street.
1984-86 reruns of Circle Square are currently shown Saturday mornings on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
In 2003 a pilot for a new version of Circle Square called Circle Square Network (CSN) was produced by Crossroads, but was never picked up.
Episodes of the original Circle Square program can be viewed on the Circle Square Ranch website.
