Mr. Men and Little Miss

[ZootyCutie]

So how is the show? I ask now that it started.

Well, me and my brother love it! I got my mom to record it on Monday, and I watched it today. It's really funny, and has great wit and physical humor.

Yeah... I like it too. Could do without the dance numbers interrupting the middle of the episode though.

Other thoughts.
1 Is Mr. Persnickety really a name change for Mr. Fussy?
2 Glad that they kept Mr. Nervous instead of changing his name to Mr. Jelly like in the last series.
3 Mr. Scatterbrain? It's Little Miss Scatterbrain and Mr. Forgetful. That's the one nitpick I have against the character.
4 Not sure they're handling Mr. Messy correctly, it sort of varies from appearance to appearance.

Other than that I am enjoying the show.

1. Yeah. I read in a dictionary that "Fussy" and "Persnickety" are exactly the same thing.
2. I think the only reason he was Mr. Jelly in the other ones is due to the fact that that was his UK name.
3. He's actually a genderbend of Little Miss Scatterbrain. The same goes with Mr. Stubborn.
4.

Rully? Why do you say that about Mr. Stubborn? And did you see today's episode? There was a Typewriter Guy reference as Mr. Messy came noonie-noonie-nooing down the aisle before sitting down next to Mr. Persnickety. That whole bit was def Bert and Ernie at the Movies inspired. And I have a line to use from this show as a siggy as soon as the MC Awards are over.

BTW: Have you voted yet?

I say that about Mr. Stubborn due to this: there was never a true Mr. Stubborn ever made in the books, just a Little Miss Stubborn.

Hmmm... And here I was thinking Mr. Stubborn was a renaming of Mr. Uppity. Is there some place to check out all the original Mr. Men and Little Misses?

Yep! This website (http://www.mrmen.net/) is a great website for it. It includes pictures of the original looks, too. Just scroll over them to see the names.

Found out about another Muppet reference! The voice actress for Little Miss Helpful, Chatterbox, and Daredevil for the US version is Katie Leigh (Baby Rowlf's voice actress)!
