A Perfect Show

Of all the shows I've seen, this is definitely a good one. When I saw it for the first time, it reminded of some great shows of the past, probably some in the early 1990s or earlier. The show is just as funny as any other. Another that makes me approve it is that the characters are voiced by the right corresponding actors and actresses, a traditional part in acting. The theme song sounds a lot like a classic children's song.

Lazlo ,the monkey, is one of the characters I appreciate. He's very clever and almost doesn't concede in any problems.

Another one I like is Patsy. She's a mongoose, though her appearance slightly resemble that of little kangaroo wearing a blue jacket from the Winnie the Pooh stories.

One more I adore is Nina ,the giraffe. Just as I got a liking for Patsy, I got the same when seeing this character in the episode "Beans Are From Mars." I once saw her and Lazlo interacted with other alone in "Burpless Bean." I was kind of amazed since I knew that Patsy is the most socially close to Lazlo.

Raj ,the elephant, is probably the funniest in the show. He panics very hysterically.

Clam, the pygmy rhino, is also very clever like Lazlo.

If ever stuff and plush toys of the show's characters would be available in the market one day, I would purchase.
