I am Kyle's self-indulgence

I've just recently discovered the TV show Shaun the Sheep. I love just about anything from Aardman Animation, and this show is a spin-off of Wallace and Gromit, featuring the little sheep from A Close Shave, so I knew I would probably like it.

I'm happy to say it's even better than I hoped.

The show is about the adventures of a flock of sheep on a quaint little English farm. Each episode is only 7 minutes long, and there is absolutely no spoken dialogue--even the farmer communicates in gestures, grunts, and mumbles--and what the show's creators manage to do using only visual jokes is excellent.

I decided to show it to Daniel to see what he thinks of it, and he also became obsessed with it immediately. He always asks to watch more, and after watching "Timmy in a Tizzy," he kept pointing to the TV and saying, "sad," meaning he wanted to see the sad baby sheep again. We watched that episode three times before I insisted we quit. Here it is:

Unfortunately, this show has not been released in the US on DVD (watch out for Region 2 DVDs that don't work in American players), but resourceful Internet users should know how to find it online.
