This is the probably the show that most deserves to be put back on the air!

Animal from the Dr. Teeth band is one of my roll models :)

Just an observation but shouldn't the country(ies) of origin be US and UK? After all, the US networks rejected the idea and it was taken up by British station ATV and filmed at their studios in Elstree, near London.
