It officially premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) on Monday January 16, 1995, (although it had already first premiered on two Los Angeles PBS stations, KCET and KLCS on Thursday September 15, 1994), and ran for just under four years, airing its final new episode on Friday December 4, 1998, however the show would continue in reruns until 2000. The show followed a multi-ethnic group of kids (puppets) from different parts of the United States who hung out at "the Puzzle Place", which is a teen hangout themed around jigsaw puzzle pieces. In each episode the characters were confronted with an everyday conflict usually encountered in childhood and even early teenagerdom, such as making moral decisions, sharing, racism, sexism, etc.
