Anyone who grew up watching CBC Kids during circa 2003-6 will remember “Nanalan”, that bizarre puppet show about a green muppet girl who visits her grandmother. In the U.S., it’s probably better remembered as a 3-minute interstitial show that was shown on Nick Jr. in the early 2000s, prior to becoming a half-hour program.
But did you know that it had an additional run on the U.S. on select PBS stations? It was shown in around 2007, as a Sunday morning only program, and rather than the standard credits showing Mona and her mom in the car, the credits were shown playing over a still of the house.
My PBS station aired it for a mere four months (from September 2006 to January 2007), and it seems it didn’t last too much longer on some other affiliates that aired it. I’m curious about what differences to the standard CBC Kids version these broadcasts had, besides the credits (which, if nothing else, makes this worth finding).

I don't remember seeing Nanalan on Nick Jr., but I do remember watching it on WGBH. I never saw any full episodes because it was on at 6 A.M. (at least when I saw it because it apparently had 7:30 A.M. airings at one point that I missed completely), but I still got up early enough that I was able to catch the end. I didn't know until recently that its PBS run wasn't that well known. Outside this site, I know someone that thought the half hour series didn't air in the U.S. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be much help to this search, and I couldn't even tell you what other differences there are (in part because I haven't seen the show at all since it was on GBH), but I thought I'd mention that I remember this too.
