British TV: Oy! Mongrels and Hyenas!

[furtech]

Two more tv shows I was introduced to thanks to friends at EF and Fatkraken:

Mongrels
This is a Henson-like puppet show about dogs. This is to kids shows what Simpsons or South Park is to American kids shows (ie, played straight, with a lot of adult humor and sniff-jokes). Watch this and you'll finally get all the "Oy!" jokes running around the fandom lately.

Scratch and Sniff : these are two hyenas who were originally the puppet bumpers to a cartoon show that eventually got their own game show. Their goal to to help make kids smarter by eating the stupid ones. Noble ideals, indeed! One of the creators also worked on "Wolf it!"

You had to go to Europe to discover Mongrels? Ffff, you're out of the loop. ;)

But yeah, very amusing show, fun puppetry.

And the hyenas are cute.

Ah scratch and sniff are still going? I barely watch TV these days, and am certainly never around when the kids stuff is on, but I loved them when I was a kid.

the show is long since gone, but they occasionally repeat on one of the digital channels I believe

I wasn't that impressed by Mongrels (no hyenas), it's like all the rage here in the bay area. I saw a couple of scratch and sniff bumpers on the youtubes.
