I loved tuning in to this show as a child, but it was always a little creepy. This show was set in a hotel lobby. There was but one (non puppet)human character in the series and I believe he was the series creator. The puppets were so grotesque, to put it lightly. They for-shadowed those sick looking puppets from Britain's "Spitting Image" series. There was also a sense of palpable tension in the air in the hotel. It's like the puppets were on the very edge of becoming human. There was a depressed clay "mound" named Blob. He was hilarious and in definite need of Prozak. There were apes that fell in love, space aliens, an old couple, and a chain-smoking dragon. It was like an even lower production Sid and Marty Kroft type of a show. And to top it off there was a bell hop named "Weird". This show was a big influence on me and my artwork and still manages to disturb the hell out of me.
