Characters
The original show was made up of seven main characters with and addition of the "Paradise Kids" (local children from each area given the opportunity to be on the program). The main character was represented by a proud and upstanding Jamaican from the Rastafarian community. ''Ragga Boo Boo'' or ''Ragga'' as he 's known by good friends, takes life as Jah has intended it to be and has mainly wise sayings, with some mild humor to pass to those who shop at his market stall. Ragga is joined by the ''Ackee Twins'', two odd and misplaced fruits who do their best to remain friends with their keeper. ''Irie Goat'', an ol'goat who likes to hang around and might as well be a permanent fixture as well as ''Brown Dog'' who offers up the letter or word of the day which leads the intro to the Paradise Kids of each week's episode. Characters such as ''Patoo'', the animated owl, lend a hoot to the kids trying to figure out clues pertaining to subject matter and occasionally ''Anna Conda Boa'' the tongue-tied TV reporter, stops by somewhere new to report. ''Crystal Croaker'' 'drops in-to' the nicest places to introduce you to the nicest people.International
