When you have vague recollections of something nostalgic, but don't remember enough about it to pin down what exactly it was or search it out.

I know that as a kid we had a couple of VHS tapes with a particular children's program. It started out live-action, with this man in a cool house and, I believe, some sort of VCR player that looked impressive. This man introduced whatever that episode's classic tale was, and then we saw an animated feature of said tale. I clearly remember Peter Rabbit and the tale of Paul Revere being shown. I vividly remember the old US flag with the segmented snake being featured, and I believe there was a snake character in that episode as well. If anyone remembers this show or knows how to research it, I'd really appreciate it.
