The MRS. LADADEE show is considered the first of its kind- and the inspiration behind its successors such as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Romper Room, and Barney & Friends.

Each episode followed a similar premise- child guest stars are allowed to stay up past their bedtime, playing with their host Mrs. Ladadee.

Tragically, on the final episode, live in front of a studio audience, Mrs. Ladadee fed the children pink candies laced with cyanide, before consuming one herself. There was one survivor.
