Did I say that already? The clay is kinda a whiner. The lobby seems kinda empty... no props? no budget for a good stage background? WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SHOW?!?!?! lol. Wow Inspector, you are GOOD! I remembered more but still can't recall the name. I know I didn't watch it a lot but I don't know why. And it is fun to type with your eyes closed in case you were wondering.

(Not like handsome Gumby or adorable Pokey, lol) He was just a blob. With eyes. And he was grey. I can't remember a single other character. Even the girl and boy that I have pictured in my mind aren't really clear at all and I may not even have that part right. You guys are so nice to stick with me and try to solve this little puzzle! It really has been driving us crazy trying to think of it. You know how it is.

Looking at the youtube link I can see that he clearly has a mouth so I got that part wrong. But it's easy to see why I thought he didn't have a mouth - he never said anything! LOL. He just made all those TOTALLY creepy grunts and weird noises. LOL. You guys are so great for finding this for me. I never would've been able to figure it out without you all! THANK YOU!
