Radical Sheep Productions



Radical Sheep Productions is a Canadian children's television series production company.

With over 400 episodes of award-winning television and successful licensing programs, Radical Sheep has grown to be one of the most highly acclaimed children's television producers in North America. The creation of enduring characters and stories lies at the heart of Radical's success. Among its early work, Radical Sheep made puppets used in the early 1990s educational video series The Adventures of Ruffus & Andy, which marked early appearances of Ruffus the Dog.

Perhaps Radical's greatest achievements are Stella and Sam, which currently airs on Disney Jr. and The Big Comfy Couch, a Gemini-award winning series for preschoolers, which produced seven seasons and aired for over ten years on Treehouse TV(Canada), PBS (US) and around the world.

Founded in 1985, by Robert Mills, the company also once housed the "Sheep Shop", which provided puppet construction and design services until 2002 when it closed its doors and Mills stepped aside from running the company.

As president, John Leitch now manages the business of Radical Sheep Productions and oversees corporate growth. John brings to the company over 15 years of national and international management experience outside of the entertainment area. He acts as executive producer for all of Radical Sheep's productions and also oversees the management and sales of Radical's properties, both domestic and foreign. His credits as executive producer include: Stella and Sam (Seasons 1 & 2), The Big Comfy Couch (Seasons 6 & 7), Land O' Hands (Season 1), Amigo and Me (Season 1), Panda Bear Daycare (Seasons 1 & 2) and Ruffus the Dog (Seasons 1 & 2).
