The bees are my favorite

I must know: Are any of you watching the show Creature Comforts on Monday nights? It is actually quite funny, and it's certainly a dry sense of humor going on there. The premise is a documentary news crew going around the country and asking questions of animals throughout it. The questions are fun bits of fancy such as, If you could change anything about your appearance, what would it be? What do you think of flying? These are from tonight's episode, and even though I can't remember any from last week or the week before, I know that they were pretty funny. The whole thing is a giggle. Now imagine that the guys behind Wallace and Gromit are the puppeteers behind the animals, and you've got a great 30 minutes of television. (This picture is just one example of the animals that "participate" in the surveys. Think pigs in a pen, cockroaches on a counter, dogs on a street corner, poodles in a kitchen, birds in a cage, lobsters on a pier, and a fish in a brook, and you get the idea.) As it is, the cast is a clever one, the questions are well staged, and the animation is charming. I highly recommend this one, as a perfect solution to a long Monday!
