Creepy and lovable, 4 November 2009
7/10
Author: ctomvelu1 from United States

I was the only one in my house who liked this show, which came out when I was in my early 50s. I "got" it. My kids were too old to appreciate it, and my wife was creeped out by the characters. Very simple learning show aimed at very young children, very colorful, downright psychedelic at times (I grew up in that era, after all). Nice merchandising tie-in, too, as the creatures made perfect dolls as sold in stores. Who wouldn't appreciate a doll that makes farty, squishy noises? One version of the dolls had heads that could be pushed down into the bodies, just like the TV characters. Too bad the show was so short-lived, but I guess it had nowhere to go. And I'm sure there were folks who saw it as demonic.
