I saw a compilation of their skits and scetches yesterrday, and was sturck by how similar it is to The Muppet Show.

For example:

Someone famouse sit and sings Windmills of your Mind at the front of the stage, and in the background the winmills brakes down, and then Ernie Wise gets stuck on one of the windmill blades, and then teh fence she's sat on breaks, and then they use a wind blaster and it turns onto hurracane, (of course they take it further than teh Muppets with her dress blwoing off...)

But in it's essence, it is pretty much the same.

Also it is mildly funny.
