Well, Cartoon Network ran a Wallace and Gromit Marathon (didn't take
long, did it?...) on Sunday.

Needless to say, I (and my kids) clearly have been underappreciating
this stuff, having never have been lucky enough to actually see it
before. We all just aboud died laughing.

Also needless to say, I went straight to the net and found the best
price I could on the videos and they're on order from Amazon (they have
a 3 pack for about 17 USD).

Great stuff.

I just want to know why they ran them in the wrong order, they ran Wrong
Trousers first, and ran Grand Day second.

I ALSO want to know if there is any David Letterman connection (his
company is called Worldwide Pants...)?

(...) Wow, have you been deprived! I love those shorts! I first saw "The Wrong Trousers in '94(?) with my father at the Biography Movie Theater in DC, during an animation Festival. It was great!
