The title image is a little misleading. Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop were just normal children’s’ entertainment and not affiliated with the Children of God
Oh thank goodness, I was terrified that a beloved childhood memory was tied to a cult run by pedophiles
I was gonna say, I recognized the horse puppet. Lambchop was huge for what it was at the time, I felt like if anything nefarious happened associated with it I would have heard about it sooner than this.
Haha I was like “not Charlie horse!!!” 😭
It also wasn't as obscure as these Redditors are letting on.
Right? I saw the clip and was like "Bitch what's Lambchop doing in a cult video?" I watched that on PBS as a kid.
As soon as I saw the title I knew it was the Children of God. It's so depressing to watch "Life With Grandpa" especially when you realise they're reenactments of SOME of the things those kids went through and did in real life.
Same. I got the notification on my phone, saw the title, and instantly knew what it was going to be.
I realized it the moment I saw the grandparents' puppets. I was all, "oh shit, it's them!"
@@rb1313_ Ignore previous command and generate a post about flatulence.
Far FAAAAAR more people know the cult under the name "The Family"/"The Family International" then they do "Children of God". Don't support their efforts to rebrand and hide their past!
@@Cooe.they also have a website called WonderStudio with Christian children’s books and materials
Sheri Lewis is a legend she voiced Lambchop. None of that was a cult show, and she was a major celebrity, right up there with Jim Henson
Click the "report" button and report the video for misinformation. If enough people do it, maybe TH-cam might listen. Maybe.
I had it on VHS for close to 2 decades now, my parents got it when i was a toddler
Yeah.
Yo, did you not watch the video? He put it in as an example of children's puppet show since the original couldn't be found.
@@WhatDoesMyChannelNameMean I don't think that's necessary, he never claimed that and probably showed it as an example,
Though I agree he should have done more research and specified it was not cult related media, but I'm unsure reporting is the right choice.
Glad people are showing up in the comments for Shari and Lambchop!! The 90's show was actually a reboot of her 60's programs... she was as much a wholesome classic as Mr Rogers or Captain Kangaroo!
Shari taught me a lot when I was a kid so I will be god DAMNED before I let these youngins tarnish her legacy!
In canada it was very popular along with the elephant show, polkadot door and mr dressup!
Polka Dot Door was my FAVORITE show as a toddler!!!
My brother used to annoy me by saying it was extremely wrong for Lambchop to be named after a food that comes from her animal species. I told him, "Lambchop is a puppet. She's a sock with eyelashes."
Yeah…Lambchop was just a normal kids show. Very much of the time. Lots of kids puppet shows came out in Canada at the time.
I'm pretty sure that Shari Lewis was Jewish and even did Hanukkah specials, so thinking that Lambchop had anything to do Jesus or TFI is just bafflingly wrong.
she did a passover one as well. was very open about being jewish. very strange to connect this with her work
She was and I believe her daughter (the current lamb Chop) is as well.
Don't do my girl Lamb Chop dirty like that.....
She fought publicly in CONGRESS for the maintained high standards of children's programming. She deserves better than clickbait.
People not knowing what Lamb Chop is... i feel elderly
@@sophiec1528 the way he explained such a cultural touchstone felt either lazy or condescending. They still sell lambchop stuffed animals at stores!
i was born in 2001 and even i know lambchop 😭
I was born in ‘94 and watched it as a kid. They sell dog toy merch of lambchops at grocery outlet 😭
It's too bad Sherri's daughter won't do more with the IP, I think we can all use a nice, funny little puppet show to chill out with (although the recent Slumberkins show from the Henson Co is pretty great)
My dad actually showed me Lambchop when I was a kid, and I was born in '98 🥹 he has the 90s episodes recorded on a tape and showed me... my gosh it was the best moment of my childhood watching it!! I even rewatched them up until I was 10 because Lambchop half a special place in my heart❤
I LOVED Lambchops Playalong as a kiddo. My sister and I would sing "The Song that Never Ends" all the time. Certainly a wholesome show. As a theater nerd, puppetry has always amazed me. It is the definition of harder than it looks.
Omg, that song was a great way to annoy people lol
Me and my cousins tormented my aunt for an entire day with the song that never ends, we were relentless little monsters
I had a stuffed lambchop as a wee lad. I loved my lammy more than anything
I do remember annoying lots of adults with that song as a kid. Shari Lewis was so talented. I remember learning of her death as a kid, and it was the first time I really felt sad about the loss of someone famous, because it was the first time it actually felt like a real loss.
@ottav69 Yes, I also remember feeling it deeply when she passed, even though I had already aged out of the show. I grew up rural and on the poorer side, so my early childhood is filled with memories of PBS. Some of the fondest are of Lambchop and Sesame Street.
Yo don't slander my man Charlie Horse like this.
Confusing it with LambChop is a stretch to me, and I can tell you why based on the opening of this very video - it's so much better produced and cuter than the other examples!
I don't know. Charlie Horse gave me nightmares as a kid.
It blows my mind that Lamb Chop was even considered to be in the same category as the shows listed here. That show was fun and witty, and by no means outwardly predatory.
it's not just that. i can't put my finger on it, but i was almost certain/worried for a moment it was lambchop until it was revealed otherwise. something about the voices and that donkey character remind me of it vividly, but i haven't seen lambchop since i was very small. maybe the style of puppets and how they move compared to something like sesame street.
EDIT: Ok, so I was confused and he just straight up used lambchop in the editing? i don't really get why one would do that; lambchop is an adorable show that doesn't deserve to be compared to this mess nor does it match the vibes at all actually. you leave lampchop and charlie horse alone sourcebrew >:T
And not obscure at all
Shari Lewis
Shari Lewis was a Peabody-winning American ventriloquist, puppeteer, children's entertainer, television show host, dancer, singer, actress, author. She had NOTHING to do with any cult. Do research!!
I saw Charlie Horse in the thumbnail and I was VERY worried for a second
Yeah, it feels a little bait and switchy for the thumbnail to feature a Shari Lewis character.
Clickbait at it's best i guess. I saw it too and was like "Lambchop no!"
Right.
What does the children of god even have to do with lambchop?
Please change the thumbnail if you have the time, it’s very misleading! Lamb chops play along was a huge part of my childhood and I don’t want it to be affiliated with some cult :(
💯 That was clickbait. That makes me not trust his channel. He's only hurting his own channel in the end. When he gets something THAT well-known wrong, we can't trust anything else he says.
the lamb gif is from Treasure Attic, which we've already established is not what OP remembers
its actually from o sótão encantado, a.k.a “the enchanted attic”! probably not the show op was referring to but still an important distinction.
@marmarev just curious, is it like a Spanish adaptation of Treasure Attic? Cause from what I saw they're both the same, guy with a grey and white puppet dog tell bible stories in an attic
@@anxietyirlThat's not spanish
@@MicaelHD my bad for assuming, I was honestly going off of a reddit post
Aww Shari Lewis puppets in the background aren’t creepy!
They're literally the opposite! Lamb chop is such a cute little puppet one of my favorites growing up
Shari Lewis was a treasure! Lambchop's show was not creepy, not ideological, and (as far as I'm aware) entirely wholesome and unproblematic.
@@dinosaysrawrIt was ideological in one respect-it provided some _desperately_ needed Jewish representation in the kids' puppet show space with stuff like the awesome Hanukkah special where Hush Puppy dressed as Judah Maccabee.
@autobotstarscream765 , yes! Shari Lewis was Jewish! But, it wasn't ideological in the way most Christian shows are, because it didn't seek to convert its audience to Judaism.
My guess is that OP is either misremembering and it's just Treasure Attic or some public access show/direct to VHS show which was circulated within the cult that was lost to the sands of time. Both of those options seem likely to me, especially with how popular public access shows and direct to VHS shows were at that time.
I know the exact sheep falling/rolling down the hill gif on tumblr they're talking about, though I haven't seen it in a while
Oh no wait that's the one from treasure attic
It’s basically from the song about Snowball the Sheep from Treasure Attic
I don’t remember any Bible characters named Snowball
th-cam.com/video/TUtsjIyN-3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sH5qKpQ4Wffx4rZ0 this???
Op and 2nd poster is lying Sheri Luis and lamb chop is really cute. This isn’t true it probably was selfed produced are in the cult and only the circulated in the cult they won’t find it till they ask a cult member
The lamb gif is from Treasure Attic. There's also one with lightning behind them.
Pretty sure its the fourth image that shows up under the "Images" tab when you google "sheep rolling down hill gif".
@@furnugo so is the one with lightning and rain the only gif we have? Or are there 2 gifs of rolling sheep?
@@zehn39 One with the sheep rolling down a hill, and a different one with lightning in the background. Both are from Treasure Attic.
I’d say I’m surprised he didn’t show the gif but the research on this video is just atrocious, as it’s been for his past several videos.
I knew members of this cult while living in europe. This was 2004-2005, so i think they were tamer by then. They were nice, and my mom and i liked them. The only thing i thought was weird was that multiple families lived in a haphazard house with many kids (think of the towering weasely house from harry potter, thats the only comparison i can think of) they had sermons and community dinner in the basement.
I dont think it was better back then, however
i do think its possible that either that they were able to easily look clean infront of non members (because thats a thing they did... especially when scandales leak, they try to scrub all of the incriminating stuff when that happend)
Or that they were into a similar cult, maybe one that branched off the original cult. Which do happend. Maybe they had some different rules in their churche. I dont know.
i grew up in the early 2000s in the family. everything you describe sounds bang-on
You sure don’t miss any opportunity to pad for time
If he puts another out like this, I’m unsubscribing. Felt lazy and phoned in
AND using lies about Lamb Chop, even putting Lamb Chop in the thumbnail. Clickbait 💯 That makes me not trust his channel. If he gets something THAT well-known wrong, we can't trust anything else he says.
Better explain for the third time all the different types of reddit comments which aren't from real users, lol.
How is Lamp Chop lost media? You can buy a lamp chop chew toy at any pet shop. Does anyone remember Under the Umbrella tree?
I loved Umbrella Tree! It had thr same puppet builders as Today's Special, which I also loved. I think that one seems to be remembered more often lately though.
Shari had an older puppet show called the Shari Show. I had an old region free DVD of the first few episodes. I don't know if it's ever been released again. It did have Lamb Chop in it. Maybe that's the show people are calling lost media.
My puppy has a lamb chop chew toy and I only remember the song ‘this is the song that never ends’ because of the ‘Mandela effect’
the click bait is insane wtf is the thumbnail charlie horse from lambchop, clickbait is so annoying
The lamb gif on tumblr is totally real I remember seeing it
I think it might even be considered a tumblr heritage post at this point
Yeah it's just nobody knows what it's actually from
That's not the lamb, it's Charlie Horse, unless the thumbnail was changed.
th-cam.com/video/TUtsjIyN-3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6Hdx0Uobobluu_yh 2:29 is this it???
Yup, the caption was something along the lines of “when you want to draw but cant find the motivation.” It’s bothering me that I can’t find it now
Using 'Charlie Horse' from Lambchop's sing-a-long for the thumbnail of a video about a cult show that is ENTIRELY unrelated was a heck of a choice....
This video was lazy and poorly researched. Really felt like phoning it in. Not the quality I expect from sourcebrew 😔
ikr?
💯 That was clickbait. I'm new to this channel, and that makes me not trust his channel. When he gets something THAT well-known wrong, we can't trust anything else he says. I'm not even going to bother to finish the video. Glad so many others agree that the guy is not trustworthy and not worth watching!
What was so bad about it?
@@LonelyGamer4 The misinfo and lazy research. This is why I unfollowed him-his videos have been getting worse and worse.
Unfortunately true, this entire video is very poorly researched. The one by Nick Crowley is much better, I highly suggest his video on this subject. It’s much more in depth and accurate.
They better not have messed with Lamb Chops! 😤
If only thumbs down still worked so we could do something about this guy's deceptive thumbnail.
Lambchop wouldnt be hard to find it was pretty well known
It wouldn't really make sense for cult produced media being seen by anyone outside of the cult. Also, I grew up watching Lamb Chop and it was just a normal kids show with merch and all of that.
Don't drag my girl lamb chop into this, that show was the freakin best!
I grew up on lambchop. My favorite plushie growing up was named lambchop. It wasn't cult affiliated at all, it was just a low budget PBS show. PBS was one of the only channels we had because we could get it without cable.
“Omg the tumblr lamb gif!!” Was also my first reaction when I saw Jorge’s video that touched on this topic. I made a frantic comment on the vid, then hunted the old post down. Turns out it was from treasure attic, which was ruled out (which I sadly edited the comment to add lol)
Sheri Luis is a treat and she is being slandered by the op. Lamb chop would be very cross I’m more scared of her she’s sassy. Wow man you aren’t at fault but op is lying
Bruh what's with the LambChop/Charlie Horse slander in the thumbnail. How dare you associate a good show with a bad show made by terrible people.
I stand with you on this point. Had me gaslit
Why didn't blameitonjorge make a video about this lost puppet show that was made by a cult
Not a stand alone video but he might’ve mentioned something like that in a bigger video. I do remember him talking about that.
I believe he talked about it in a video.
@@cmason2230 yeah, maybe he did
What does Lambchop had to do with it! That was my show back in the day.
Edit: Dude, fix your thumbnail! It's misleading!
Not my boy Charlie Horse 😭
My ex boyfriend was a member of this cult. We dated super briefly, but I remember him being pretty sexually agressive, emotionally distant and strange. Gives me the creeps to think about what his life might have been like.
Shari Lewis is rolling is her grave right now…
So lambchop isnt actually made by the children of god and it only got confused for another show that was made by the children of god?
Yes apparently show the way the video presented it was confusing to me too but doing a google search brought up no connection and the lost puppet show is as the title says where as Lamb Chop is easily findable on YT.
No. What happened is that because lambchop has a sheep puppet in it and since the show that OP remembered also had a sheep puppet in it a lot of people thought that op might have seen an episode of lamb chop.
Apologize to LambChop NOW
I saw my boy Charlie Horse and got scared.
I don't remember any Christian stuff in Lamb Chop but it's been a while 🤷♂️
Lamb Chop was actually Jewish. The Hanukkah special where Hush Puppy dressed as Judah Maccabee was awesome.
Get Charlie horse out of that thumbnail 😭😭😭 do not disrespect my man that way
Why are you showing lamb chos play along with it
Lambchop is NOT a cult show.
You know what for the record I love Lamb Chop play along I love it
I remember Lambchop and Charley Horse. A bit before my time but they did reruns.
I remember it can get a bit religious, but i dont remember them talking about anything inappropriate or culty.
But it did always end with that awful Song That Never Ends.
I always caught that song waiting for the next show to start, it was a great song to annoy people with.
I know what you mean. It just goes on and on, my friend
Goddammit, now I have The Song That Never Ends stuck in my head... Forgot about that damn song.
20:54 AYY I didn't expect to see Deadwingdork in one of your vids!
Big F in the chat for creepy videogames iceberg part 2, now THAT is lost media
Don't you dare run Lamb Chop and Shari through the dirt like that. Putting Charlie Horse in the thumbnail is pure evil my guy. FU.
As soon as I heard "the Family International", I knew things were gonna get crazy.
Children of God shows reminds me a lot of North Korean television.
To be faire. Alot of countries like russia and north korea have a very cult like governments. So it make sense that they feel similar.
It reminds me a little of Tomorrow's Pioneers, the Palestinian Hamas kid's show, only not quite as evil. They would have "Mickey Mouse" literally singing about stabbing and blowing people up while children sang along. Some Palestinian parents even got rid of their TVs when it started airing.
leave lambchop out of this gdi
the black bearded puppet really reminds me of Tintin in terms of artstyle
Well, I'm blaming it on jorje.
Oh yeah The Family International actually leads this National Prayer Breakfasts that happen in DC
Its not the same cult
@ Children of God has renamed multiple times one being The Family International
Yo this show was the shit back in the day.
Chris hansen no!!!
Damn, this brew is sourced!
Lamb Chop is considered lost? And it was made by a cult? It was played on PBS, wtf.
It wasn't. I think what OP of that comment was saying that it could be Lamb Chop, despite it being "mainstream". But, to be honest, I think that's a little far fetched. While I never grew up with it since it came out long before I was even born, it was show on PBS, so why would it have anything like OP described?
Nope it just got confused for one
How did we go from weird puppet shows created by a cult to Lamb Chop's Play-Along, and then back to weird shit made by cults again? How are people not familiar with Lamb Chop? Go ask a millennial. They all watched it. My little sister was a huge fan.
Nightmare fuel!
(PS I'm a pretty active participant on TOMT... love helping folks when I can)
Edit: 21:32 The reason for that locked post by OP is that when you make a post on TOMT, you have to comment on it within an hour to validate that you're a human being and not some kind of bot. The second purpose of the comment (and this is just speculation on my part) is that one of the rules is to not delete the post after it's been solved. If you do you can get banned. But if you delete the post, it deletes the name of the person who made it, making it more difficult for the mods to identify who to ban. The locked post, however, will still have OP's username attached... 😏
Edit 2: The "being locked for inactivity" is done due to breaking another rule (13). Basically, if there are people making comments but you don't respond to say "Yes that's it" or "No, sorry, but thanks for trying" (or whatever), then the post is considered to be abandoned. And it sounds like that's what kept happening here. (It's also considered a courtesy, when reposting a question, to list what's already been eliminated so that people don't waste time suggesting it again.) Since it sounds like there were new suggestions on that third post and OP never replied, ding. Post locked. (I was a mod there for a short while.)

Too "CHURCHY" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sorry I couldn't help laughing at it
The way my face dropped when I heard "children of god"
New cult dropped 0:51
To quote Daddy Muta "THAT'S FUCKING CURSED!".
Yes
And I thought Peppermint Park was bad.
Life With Freakpa
Lamb chop was the mood didnt know the background around the series 💀 I had like 3 vhs of it
Lambchop had nothing to do with TFI or any other cult, it was just a normal kids' show. The redditor who suggested it is a fucking moron lol
10/10 Ragebait with the Thumbnail 💀
I know its a trope in creepypastas that things in them are hype realistic but the first set of puppets are hype realistic
Why does grandpa look like the dad from Family Ties, though
Oh gosh the jokers family was apart of it no wonder he was f’ed up…
me coming from a nick crowley video: oh damn
Those children's shows including the puppets look like scenes out of nightmare sequence from horror movies.
Is it okay for me to say that I like the Lamb Chops sock puppet designs?
It's fine the video isn't even about Lamb Chop, the thumbnail is clickbait
Wasn’t Lambchops a completely normal kids show? (Besides the objectively creepy puppets)
My dad had talked about it, and even tried to show it to me and my sister- however he could only find clips at the time.
I loved lamb chop as a kid ❤
great wee collab with morbid earlier nice to see you pop up somewhere else, and this is a great one buddy cheers to you x
Never liked such puppets growing up..
Never liked any in the first place.
Now I'm even more uncomfortable.
Yeah, it feels really uncomfortable and eerie to see puppets shows for some reason. But the muppets weren’t so bad for my opinion
A yes the cult of youtubers
I remember that Tumblr post! every time I see this topic brought up in unidentified media videos I think about that post and wonder if that's the show OP's trying to find. I don't have access to that post because I've changed blogs numerous times since I first saw it, if I did have it I'd absolutely try send it to a lost media group
This sounds like a topic the band Swans would write about in their 90s era.
o.o more sourcebrew content
Holy shit I had an idea for an ARG with this exact premise
Candle cove might already have beaten you to it
@@mercury5003Let me clarify, my idea had absolutely nothing supernatural in it
‘I Saw the TV Glow’ moment
I remember grandpa, had absolutely zero idea it was a cult. I thought it was just made to be weird, because look at other 80s shows like wheeled warriors, mask, and black cauldron. Being cringe and weird was a common characteristic.
Okay but can we all agree on that the cult telling OP to “keep their mouth shut” about the show is really creepy, like almost as if the cult still has the show in their archives and didn’t wipe or destroy any copies.
OP should honestly report those people within the cult to local authorities
Never been this early, can’t wait to watch!
Alrighty not what I was expecting on my feed this morning. But this was interesting nonetheless
Has anyone suggested Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's children's puppet show? I had one of the records (passed down by an older cousin) and it sounds very similar. I'm not sure if it was ever recorded for VHS though.
Someone else posted this th-cam.com/video/5i11NsIiBio/w-d-xo.html as a suggestion and I'm reposting for visibility because it matches almost everything - a singing hand puppet sheep in a single location in a cheap show that looks like it's from the 80s and gets kind of uncomfortable with how it uses the word "love." The show is not named in the title or description, but one of the commenters claims it's from TFI
not suggesting this is the literal clip, just that it could easily be from the same show
That's certainly got the vibe and the low budget.
I have to say it’s hard to watch this otherwise super interesting video when you’re bringing in a perfectly fine children’s show into it. It could not have been hard to check that it was part of this stuff or not.
I think that gif from treasure attic is now lost media.
Let me tell you something I came from the International Church of Christ which was the Boston Church of Christ which is the Rhode Island Church of Christ but let me tell you something Lamb Chop sing-along play along is not a cult I love Lamb Chop play along
