Me too, but I still felt compelled to watch it, plus that theme tune was awesome, "Have you ever, ever felt like this, when strange things happen, are you going round the twist" :pac:

It had a few "crude or controversial" episodes from what I remember.

It's worth buying for the theme tune alone.

Must admit this show wigged me out quite a bit but it had its moments. They had one in it with a chicken that could count and of course my personal favorite, the one where they grow cabbage patch children out in the yard.

Bring on the nostalgia!

Glad to see it wasn't just me. We should probably set up a support group.

Heh, great minds thinking alike Great minds, of course, wouldn't have watched that sorta stuff in the first place!

They had outtakes at the end of some episodes and the pissing-over-the-wall was one of them To this day I still don't know how that one got past censorship!

Some episodes were waaay too freaky for my liking!

Oh, and they changed the cast at some stage too, didn't like that!
