In the early days of children's television, it was common to have live-action hosts like, for example, Buffalo Bob Smith or Shari Lewis cross over into primetime for guest appearances.
In a case of intra-network synergy, Shari, with Lamb Chop & Charlie Horse in tow, visits The Ford Show with Tennessee Ernie Ford. Lamb Chop starts it off by doing the usual notation of the show airing in living color, or, as Lamb Chop says, from the sound of it, "loving color". Then, we get an animated intro with Charlie Brown & Schroder from Peanuts. Ford, remember, utilized Charlie and friends in advertising for a number of years.
