This is a long shot because the memories are so blurry. I'm just curious if anyone else has seen it. The description might be too broad though because I saw it when I was really really little. I used to watch it all the time. I just am so curious because it's one of those unidentified memories. It was live action and had some puppets I think. I think they were colorful and small with fuzzy ears. I think the ears were big. There was a bunch of kids running around and doing stuff outside or mostly outside. It had a bunch of children's songs in it and one section had a guy with a long beard, sort of a stereotypical "hillbilly" I think, and he was eating out of a metal can. His section had the song Old Man Finnegan. I think the puppet creatures might have been able to fly. I'm sorry there are so few details. This one might be so poorly remembered and described that maybe it could be anything.
Another thing that might be easier to find though, since I think I saw it once mentioned online or footage was shown online, was another VHS tape I watched all the time that was live action with puppets and the puppet theatre thing was farm themed I believe. And there was a woman who was dressed as a giant flower I think. Of course, there was a cow puppet. The woman interacted with the puppets I think but they stayed behind the puppet theatre thing that I think was made to look like a barn.
I know these descriptions aren't great, sorry. I think it's weird that I definitely remember watching these all the time but I have no idea what they even were. I guess I was just too young.

I think you are referring to a series called Kid Songs. Here is the Old Man Finnegan:
Oh my god, thank you! It looks like I misremembered what the guy looked like but seeing this reawakened so many memories. The striped outfit on one of the characters stands out so much as something I saw, same with the reversed footage. You rule, thanks for sharing this! I was so tiny when I watched this back then so it's crazy to see it again! It's crazy how I hadn't thought of those two magical characters in so long and couldn't remember how they looked if you had asked me before, but as soon as I saw them I knew this was the same video. I must've watched this when I was a literal toddler probably so I have no idea how some things like that stayed in my head without me knowing they were there. From the suggestions from that video, I was able to find the full thing and it did have fluffy eared colorful animals like I remembered, but it turned out they were people in costumes green screened to look small rather than puppets as I misremembered.
