Video Buddy was an interactive VHS educational system from Interactive Learning Group. First introduced in 1999, over a dozen titles were released, including three based on Jim Henson's Muppet Babies. Other properties included Paddington Bear, Salty's Lighthouse and The Big Comfy Couch. The system consisted of a "kid-friendly handset" that featured two handles and six large, colorful buttons. The unit interacted with the video tapes through a suction cup sensor that attached to the television screen.
