Hickory Hideout was a television program for children which was filmed in Cleveland, Ohio on WKYC-TV and aired nationally on NBC O&Os from 1981 to 1991. The show was hosted by Cassie Wolfe and Wayne Turney and featured puppet squirrel characters ("Nutso" played by Nancy Sander and "Shirley" played by Linda A. Wells), and other characters, including Buzz Buzzsaw and Cecelia C. Seesaw. Despite its lighthearted setting, it addressed psychological issues that children face and was a change from the usual lineup of Saturday-morning cartoons.
