I just want to see if someone actually does. :ouch:

I got a first real look at it as Henson posted a couple clips on their own page..

There were others earlier, but I never gave them much of a look.

Now, I usually take reviews on Tough Pigs with a grain of salt... but I'm kinda agreeing upon everything except maybe the Spitting Image-esque character designs (in cases, actually). I'm loving the clips of almost everything else they post (no or not much Fafner Hall, though... I REALLY want to see that one for myself), Hoobs, Mopatop's Shop (that's a fun one), and Wubulous World of Dr. Seuss (I gotta break down and buy the DVD's), but something tells me this needs to be buried.

So just asking... anyone like this thing? And a hundred apologies if you do.

Yeah... I remember watching the series when it aired, it was during that early half of the 90's when I was still a diehard Muppet/Henson fan in high school when Nickelodeon and Disney aired anything and everything from the wealth of shows and specials. My only regret is not watching The Secret Life of Toys.
The puppets' style was that sort of more/newer humanlike appearance with lid-shut squinted glass eyes, but there are some episodes like the Queen of Hearts and It's Raining, It's Pouring that I strongly retained in my memory vault over the years.
