Fleagle, Smeagol, Trumpy and Woot!

I watched this show as a kid (that's how old I am) and if for some reason I wasn't allowed to watch it, I'd scream like I was on fire till my Mom gave me something to scream about. THAT's how kick-ass this show was to a five year old.

All Kroftt-related videos need to bear the "kids shows for stoners" tag. This was fairly sane compared to Lidsville.
