Round 1 Match 10: Animal Division
 |  |  |
The Mice that Roared!
Muffy: The rhyming mouse from Today's Special. Aided the others in their nocturnal adventures around the department store.
Matty: Hammy and GP's (just wait folks they're coming) nervous and jittery mouse companion. Like piglet on caffeine.

This contest (?) is teaching me a lot about my own intolerances. I found the little mouse so indecisive...and yet was there anything Matty couldn't do? (Or was that all Hammy and GP's doing?). The point is these guys travelled and it wasn't talking to the camera (an early television no-no!). Muffy, muffy, muffy (sadly shaking my head).
Neither one wins my nomination for Best Rodent in a Supporting Role. If I had to choose, it would be reasons less than ironic. Here's a half-hearted vote for Matty because he had a speedboat and because he was live action.
(Were any animals harmed in the filming of those episodes? Were they "humanely" treated? Maybe that's the irony: a puppet of a mouse enjoyed a better quality of life than a living one).
Nonetheless, my vote remains for Matty and his suffering.

Matty all the way! While everyone else seems to have no feelings for the little guy, I appreciate the fact that he taught me that grumpy old bachelors are annoying and whiny!
Never really appreciated (read: liked) Muffy, but i was definitely one of the many kids who named their hamster Hammy.
Matty mouse, Hammy's curmudgeon-y friend, gets my vote!

Ack - I believe I have already lamented about my Today's Special nightmares as a child. Mannequins coming to live - that's terrifying! Seeing Muffy on this forum just about gave me a heart attack. Give me Hammy - even just for my sanity!

I have two disclosures to make:
1) I also think gay is cool.
2) I knew the producer/director of Today's Special, and he was a great guy. Although it never was one of my favourite shows (by time of its airing, I was no longer its target audience), I know of its pedagogical merits, and won't say anything bad about it.
Still... Matty.

it's going to be matty...
muffy's poems too batty
for even my young ears to hear.
when she'd jabber on the show,
I'd yell out "Oh NO!"
and wish that she'd just dissapear.
(sorry, couldn't resist)
