So...
One day I was over at an old friend's place.
He wanted to play some video games, however his younger kids aren't really at the age where shooting zombies would go over well.
So instead of playing games he switches on Netflix and starts playing a show called "Shaun the Sheep."
I wasn't expecting much, even though the show was made by the same crew as Wallace and Gromit.
Oh how I should've known better.
Shaun the Sheep follows the daily escapades of Shaun... The sheep.
Each primary episode consists of 3 smaller episodes with 2 interludes.
There's no huge main plot driving the series. Just the episode title which tells you what'll be happening.
The animation is primarily clay based (at least it appears to be), and I like it. The team are masters at their craft.
The music is simple, yet loveable.
The gags are clean and good fun. There is some farting humor throughout the series, however it's spread out.
If you're a fan of the Wallace and Gromit cartoons, these ones should give you a nice laugh. I definitely recommend them.
You can watch them on Netflix, or if you feel so inclined you can by both seasons 1 & 2.

(So does Netflix.)
If you're a stickler for that kind of thing you'll have to do your own research in getting the normal copy.
Enjoy! ^_^
