Kaj and Andrea is a Danish children's television show about two puppets. A frog named Kaj and a parrot named Andrea. They sing, play and talk with the human presenters. The show ran on DR TV 1971-1975 (83 episodes) and again 1996-2007 (100 episodes).[1]
Andrea started out as a character on the children's programme Legestue and first appeared on March 8, 1971.[2] Kaj wasn't there from the start, but appeared later on. Jimmy Stahr, the head of pre-school programmes within Danmarks Radio had seen Sesame Street but was unimpressed by its content and decided not to buy it. He did however like Kermit the Frog and suggested Legestue should have a frog of its own.[3]
