Wow, I didn't realize how many celebrites did voices for the characters on this show :eek: A local TV station aired episodes on weekends, but stopped about a year ago. I guess they stopped airing in advance of the DVD sale.

I don't know if the links still work - they require Flash and/or RealPlayer and/or Quicktime, which my PC doesn't have - but this is the official homepage for the show:

It has the theme song, and an interview with Aaron. Even if the interview audio/video doesn't work there is a transcript and some photos.
