 Polka Dot Door at AllExperts
Polkaroo appeared only to one host while the other was away, performing a pantomime whose meaning was guessed by the audience.
Because of the irony laden in this sentence, Polkaroo has become something of a cultural icon to the generation raised on Polka Dot Door, and the catchphrase "Aw, I missed him again" may often be employed for humorous effect.
Polkaroo generally appeared once a week in the show's early years, although due to the character's popularity he began appearing more frequently toward the end of the show's run.

Polkaroo and The R.O.M. About a month ago, Erika had obtained tickets to a kid's day at the R.O.M., as a special benefit for Jacob's Ladder.
Then came on the Polkaroo act, which was primarily a song and dance act.
Despite the chipper MC who led the costumed Polkaroo, Marigold and Bear across the stage, it wasn't as directly engaging.

The presenters were pretty dumb, and changed on a regular basis, but nobody really cared as the highlight of course was the Polkaroo, some kind of tall lumpy creature in a polka dot suit.
Invariably the woman presenter would be alone in the backyard and the Polkaroo would appear for a moment or two.
She would run to get the man presenter and by the time they got back the Polkaroo had disappeared.

 Too much Polkaroo, not enough Studio 2 - Parry Sound
Recently, it seems, the Ontario government has decided that life -long learning means Polkaroo all day and no Studio 2 in the evening.
Despite the fact that seniors are the wave of the future, programming at the new and ‘revamped’ TVO will focus on the little kids with continuous TVOKids programming throughout the day starting this fall.
So what do they do; they polish up their halo and talk virtuously about TVO’s role as an ‘education’ channel and, since Studio 2 doesn’t have a grown-up Polkaroo teaching us about the ABCs and 1,2,3s, it can’t be sufficiently educational to stay on the air.

 Dan Gardner-Journalist column data page
But still, TVO is a mystery to me. It costs the Ontario ministry of education $45 million a year and the province recently announced it will give TVO another $25 million over four years to convert it to digital formats and replace old equipment.
And that's to say nothing of the British murder mysteries, old movies and other stuff TVO airs that has zero civic value and can be obtained from countless other sources.

I feel like Polkaroo, or like the guy who played him.
And at the end of every show, the guy dressed up like Polkaroo and yelled out “Polkaroo!” and the girl would see him and then he’d leave and the guy would say “Oh, no, I missed him again!” In my head I remember that once the girl said that, but I must be wrong.
I do know that the tides here seem remarkably small, and googling to figure out why didn’t give me the answer, but did inform me that in some places you only get one low tide a day.

Like characters out of a Kafka tale, our civil servants would never leave the pink room or their slavery to the clock and woud babble incoherently about the polka dot door and the world beyond, glimpsed in short filmed sequences where the outside was shown (usually a shoe factory or a farm).
Periodically, everyone would hallucinate an apparition named 'Polkaroo.' Polkaroo would do mischieveous things like flip up Marigold's skirt, take a crap in the bookcase or hide his stash in Dumpty's pants.
I remember seeing the talking Polkaroo, Bear, Marigold, etc. on the other show.
