The Charlie Horse Music Pizza

The show takes place around a pizzeria on the beach. Alongside the original cast of Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, Charlie Horse, and Lewis, Charlie Horse Music Pizza introduced five new characters. Take Out, a big anthropomorphized dim-witted orangutan who makes deliveries on roller skates (played by Chancz Perry); Fingers, a giant sarcastic purple raccoon that lives in the dumpster behind the pizzeria (played by Gordon Robertson); Cookie, the soft hearted opera loving cook (played by Dom DeLuise), Junior, a cool teenager who works at the pizzeria part time and plays the tuba for his high school marching band (played by Wezley Morris), and Holly, a young girl in a wheel chair (played by Chantal Strand).

When Lamb Chop's Play-Along! ended Shari and her husband Jeremy created The Charlie Horse Music Pizza to teach children about music after talking about what kids loved the most.[1] Because a third of elementary schools were cutting music class from their curriculum at the time Shari and Jeremy felt that they should introduce kids to music through the show.[2] After Shari was diagnosed with inoperable Uterine cancer, the show was put on hold on June 18, 1998 while she underwent chemotherapy at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. She died from viral pneumonia on August 2, 1998.[3] After her death, The Charlie Horse Music Pizza was canceled.[4] The last episode of The Charlie Horse Music Pizza aired on January 17, 1999.[5]
