I have always been a fan of Eureka's Castle (and every other non Henson puppet TV show)
I'm a HUGE fan of Eureeka's Castle as well.

When it comes to puppet/animated shows, I generally stick to the ones that are meant primarily for adults but I can't help but have a huge soft spot for that amazing childhood memory.

I think I may have found out something interesting about myself today. All three of my new favorite shows in recent memory have been very dark comedies:What We Do In The Shadows, Rick & Morty, and The Kids Are Alright.

After noticing this pattern, I thought for a moment about why I suddenly have developed a taste for such morbid comedy shows. Especially considering before this past couple of months, the only other "dark comedies" I watched were ones that relied on lighthearted humor equally as much as darkness (The Simpsons, The Last Man On Earth, Monty Python, etc.)

But then it hit me.....I think my recent love of dark comedy stemmed from experiencing the death of a loved one (more information can be read about this on the Disability Corner thread btw) for the first time in my entire life recently. While plenty of people tend to find dark comedy offensive directly after a tragedy, there are also people who use it as a coping mechanism as well. I think I might be one of those people. That actually explains a lot about the seemingly abrupt change my television preferences have taken.

Not surprising that Whose Line is still one of your favorites.
