That first one is a classic. I remember when my kids looked at me and Julie funny the first time we sang that little ditty. Then we showed them and they've loved it ever since. The second one is, of course, cute.
If you want more fun - go look up "Monsterpiece Theatre" - especially the one with The Horse Whisperer or Dr. No.
Whee! I remembered that first one as soon as I saw the opening--yes, they showed carefully selected episodes of The Muppet Show in commie Hungary on occassion. That was one of my favorites. And...just...'Daww' on the second one. :)
Alex: I used to *love* Monsterpiece Theater. I still remember the monster version of "I, Claudius". Nice to know they're still doing it on Sesame Street.
Other than that, I really want to adopt a puppy and a duckling right now....

There now, doesn't that make the deflation seem not so bad?

What's not to love about Alistair Cookie? I always felt the burp in the opening credits lent a rarefied dignity to the whole thing.
Yes Jim - I feel SO much better about deflation. Why I'll think twice now about racing the stockbroker to the bottom when we jump out the window. :)
Nah - I'm fine. Oh, and I have a suggestion for the next time you put up a financial post. Have your website play "The Money Song" by Monty Python.
