This is driving me crazy. Someone must know this.
I specifically remember a PBS show... I believe it aired on Sundays... about a guy with a beard who, I *think*, lived on a farm. He had a dog named Blue, who was a puppet. I can't remember anything else about the show, except that there was an episode where Blue got sick, and the guy carried him to the vet. On the way home, he sang a song about how many miles from home they were.
I can't find a damned thing about whatever this show was, and it's making me bonkers. Someone must know.
EDIT - The guy's name *may* have been Jack. I'm not 100% sure though, that just popped into my head. I think the guy used his real name for his character, and his name may have even been in the title of the show.

Girl, you know it's confusing.
See, this is why I got frustrated and gave up on trying to put together my multi-disc completists edition of "Girl You Know It's True" (which that single disc I put on here a while back was meant to be a preview of).... seems like every single version I find has different variations of the songs!
Here's a round-up of what I've found so far. Anyone think they have one I'm missing?
===============================================
ALL OR NOTHING - the German (and elsewhere) version
GENERAL
* Original tracklist; contains "Can't You Feel My Love", "Boy In The Tree", "Money", "Dance With A Devil", "Is It Love", and "Ma Baker."
* "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" appears in its original form.
* "Baby Don't Forget My Number" appears in its original form: similar to the single version, through with the chorus like that of the US album version, rather than the single version's hip-hop chorus.
GERMAN LP
* "All Or Nothing" ends with a few seconds of German chatter.
* "All Or Nothing" is 3:23.
* "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" appears in its original form.
* "Girl You Know It's True" is 3:58 - most likely the heavily edited 'N.Y. Subway Extended Mix' that appeared on the "Greatest Hits" CD.
* "Hush" is included.
GERMAN CD
* "Girl You Know It's True" is the 8:49 'Super Club Mix'.
* "Too Much Monkey Business (Maxi Mix)" is included as a bonus track after "Hush."
SPANISH/MEXICAN LP
* "Girl You Know It's True" is the 4:12 US album version.
* "Hush" is missing.
* "All Or Nothing" is allegedly 3:44.
ALL OR NOTHING / 2x2 - the English versions
GENERAL
* "All Or Nothing" is missing its German chatter.
* "Hush" is missing.
* "Girl You Know It's True" is the 8:08 uncut 'N.Y. Subway Extended Mix.'
"ALL OR NOTHING" - CD
* "Too Much Monkey Business (Maxi Mix)" is included as a bonus track after GYNIT.
"2x2" - 2-LP SET
* Packages the complete English version of 'All Or Nothing' with 'All Or Nothing: The US Remix Album.' The 8:08 'N.Y. Subway Extended Mix' of GYNIT appears twice.
"2x2" - CD
* The first 'N.Y. Subway Extended Mix' of GYNIT has been removed, as this version is a single disc.
* The standard version of "All Or Nothing" is missing.
* "Too Much Monkey Business (Maxi Mix)" does not appear.
GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE - the American version
GENERAL
* Several of the tracks (listed above) from the German LP are gone. "More Than You'll Ever Know", "Blame It On The Rain", "Take It As It Comes" and "It's Your Thing" appear.
* Both the 4:12 album version and an edited 6:27 'N.Y. Subway Extended Mix' of GYKIT are included.
* "All Or Nothing" is missing its German chatter.
* "Baby Don't Forget My Number" is mostly a new version, with the chorus of the German album version. (Except on an unknown numbered pressing - see below.)
EARLY CD PRESSING
* "Baby Don't Forget My Number" is a strange remix lasting 6:28. As this version doesn't really have the structure of a proper song, and resembles the remixes on the maxi single, it was likely included by mistake.
* "More Than You'll Ever Know" appears in its original 4:00 length.
* "Take It As It Comes" appears in its original 3:41 length.
* The original form of "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" from the German LP is used.
RECORD CLUB / MATRIX "-3" CD PRESSINGS
* "Baby Don't Forget My Number" appears in its proper US album form.
* "More Than You'll Ever Know" has been extended to 4:32.
* "Take It As It Comes" has been extended to 4:15.
MATRIX "-4" CD PRESSING
As above, except:
* "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" has been remixed; the beat has been changed slightly, and the new length is 4:24.
===============================================
Well, there's *nine* variations! Any more?
