Synopsis
The Shiny Show is of the very few game shows in the world aimed at pre-school children, which may or may not be a good thing. In each show, one of the three puppet presenters, Dogsby, Mukka and Tigs, takes a turn to introduce video inserts and ask questions on them. The other two puppets try to answer, and the viewers are encouraged to join in. Successful answering is rewarded with a Shiny - any shiny object. In between the three rounds of the quiz, the puppets play games, sing songs, and enjoy life - apart from Dogsby, who doesn't really enjoy anything except cabbage.
