Midnight Sun This show had smooth claymation, wacky humor and a small cast of entertaining characters: Mr. Bumpy, the green, sock-eating, wise-cracking monster, Squishington, the kind but neurotic bathroom monster and Molly Coddle, the loyal comfort doll. (You know the writing is good when some segments get by on just two of them!) They were backed by a great voice cast too, with guests including Brad Garrett as a baby and Gilbert Gottfried as a stinkbug. It also had a catchy intro which perfectly set the mood, and some pixelated flash-animated shorts which could be described as "cartoons on a Super Nintendo".Unfortunately, the show declined in quality during the second season, allegedly when it became a co-production with DIC Entertainment. I started noticing close-up shots of characters being re-used often, and it's also when the "Karaoke Cafe" segments were introduced. These were montages of previous footage set to music, sandwiched between a minute or two of new animation. What's worse is these often made up half of an episode, alongside a rerun segment for the other half. Budget problems, I assume.

crappyemailrepository This show didn't last, more's the pity, but I have to put it up there near The Tick as one of the most brilliant, hilariously postmodern "children's" TV shows. The quotes there mean that, yeah, it was theoretically marketed to kids, but I and, I suspect, many other 20-somethings of the day who happened upon it made a point of watching it ever after.A smelly-sock-hole-eating hero, his honest but squishy friend (never figured out what he was... a mold?), the control-freak comfort doll, and of course the closet monster composed of laundry, all animated in *genuine claymation*, not crappy CG effects!The musical Christmas special, as Mr. Bumpy plots to voyage to the North Pole to steal Santa's bag of toys, was particularly great.Sean

Groverclevland2224 I only caught it a few times on its final run on toon disney and loved it. i was wondering if anyone knew if it was avalible on video or dvd. it was a great short lived show. the only times i saw it was on vacations at places with toon disney (ex. Disney world) by the time toon disney was avalible in pittsburgh most good shows were kicked off of toon disney, such shows as raw toonage, tail spin which is till on but at weird times. this was a classic claymation show which should be treated with respect and brought back on tv. but if it is availible on video then it dosen't have to come back. there are many short lived seires which should be brought back. we should start a petition to bring these shows back

PJS-5 A rather mistreated series,(but ABC is as 2nd as bad as fox when it comes to this),of the adrenaline-surged under-the-bed monster,neat-freak but still gold-hearted blob bathroom monster,& a very kind but strong-determined rag doll(or as known as a comfort doll),you might be placed off by the fact that is has been consirdered as the "Gumby" of the 90's,don't be it has high amount of comic hijinx & well-placed in storylines(the theme & karoke cafe songs have no complaints whatsoever),the only pity is that ABC placed this off but it at least lasted a bit more than the other high-quality program Reboot.
