Bingo & Molly is a 1997 American-New Zealand live-action children's television series, made with puppets and taped at New Zealand's Avalon Studios. Its title characters, a brother-and-sister rabbit duo (performed by U.S. puppeteers Brian Narelle and Robin Goodrow), learn valuable lessons and social skills in each episode. Goodrow, an alumnus of San Francisco's KRON-TV, served as co-developer, story editor, and songwriter, as well as a set designer; production at Avalon lasted eight weeks during March–May 1997.
The series ran for a single season of 26 episodes in its native countries, and was part of the Ready Set Learn! block on U.S. cable channel TLC. A winner of the Parents' Choice Awards (through its tie-in soundtrack) and CINE's Golden Eagles, it was positively received during its original broadcast, and also in its 1999 home video release by Anchor Bay Entertainment. In 2022, Chicago's Questar picked up the title for a streaming re-release.
