Many current American's first exposure to puppets would have been on TV with
Lamb-Chop and   Shari Lewis .   Also, around the same time, was "Bunny Rabbit"
on Captain Kangaroo.   Both were very cute, furry and definitely for
children.   Whatever puppetry was being presented for adult audiences most likely was
not on TV, and therefore not saturating the public conciousness!    I,
personally, didn't see any adult form of puppetry until "Bread and Puppet" or Le Blé
Noir (in Boston) in the seventies.
