Gerbert (partially found original and secular episodes of Christian puppet TV series; 1988-1991)
From The Lost Media Wiki
Gerbert is a show about a chicken-nugget-shaped puppet child that teaches life lessons for children.[1][2][3] In its first season, it was Christian themed, however, a secular version, without religious content, was syndicated to public television stations from 1993 to 1997. The show aired on the Freeform channel (which has now rebranded to the Christian Broadcasting Network) from February 15th, 1988 to December 25th, 1991 for 50 episodes. The show was distributed as a direct-to-video series in various shopping and book stores.
A secular version of the series was briefly aired on PBS around the early 1990s. It is currently unknown if it has aired since then.
