Thanks for sharing this, Greg.
I love this show, although I cannot watch it anymore, since it was cancelled 
from the local station that was airing it.
They have a tendency to cut all my fave shows if they get slightly low 
rating for a set period of time.
Frustrating. Especially when you see such garbage as '"reality TV" still 
thriving.


I might get to see your "puppet episode" someday, in a bad French 
translation (old episodes still air on a french channel, and it is painful 
to hear).
I'd rather rent the DVD in the original language!
If I had enough money, I'd rent the entire series and watch it in one 
sitting.
