Remembering the Popples

I don't think I ever saw this show on TV, but on rainy days my parents would sometimes take me to the video rental store to rent a VHS which had two or six 15-minute episodes on it. It was much like the opening animation to the show, where the two kids are getting ready to play outside until they look out the window and discover it's raining, only to have the Popples appear out of nowhere to cheer them up. Like many other nostalgic shows my generation grew up with, it is very much the product of the 80s. As Nostalgia Critic even mentioned in his second commercial special, more stuffed animals were produced and then episodes were made about them. I didn't find out about those videos until I was searching ebay one day since that video rental place had gone out of business back when I was in middle school. I'd grown up only watching the original Popples, but later I found they added the sports Popples, punk rock Popples, mini-Popples,and Popple babies (no, the previous characters did not procreate, let's not even go there).
One of my favorite Popples was Pretty Bit, who was purple and spoke in rhyme. Normally I don't like compulsively rhyming characters, but I made an exception because Pretty Bit was voiced by the same actress who voiced my favorite Care Bear, Love-a-Lot Bear.
My other favorite Popple was Puffball, who was white and hated getting dirty. She often got annoyed with Putter, the green Popple, and comedy antics would ensue. According to imdb, she was voiced by Louise (Stevie) Vallance,who also voiced a few of the other Popples and was also in Care Bears, but it didn't list which character (though I have a feeling it might be Share Bear or Proud Heart Cat due to her later work, in which Sorenson also reprised her role as Love-a-Lot).
My favorite episodes were"PoppOlympics" (a Pretty Bit episode) and "Popples Flood the Fluff-n-Fold" (a Puffball episode). That's right, laundromats were called Fluff-n-Folds back then, apparently. There was even an episode at a roller rink (I miss those) but the skates were the old kind that required keys (I think they had those on an episode of Muppet Babies too). This should make me feel pretty old, but then again I never encountered these things in my everyday life back then, so I'm good. I just hope that Linkara eventually gets around to reviewing the Popples comic that appeared in his opening title sequence. I'm very much interested in what that one is like whether it's bad, mediocre, or just plain weird.
