Well, I watched both episodes of “Creature Comforts” tonight on CBS even though it turned out they were reruns of the two already-aired episodes, both of which I’d seen (I missed the first few minutes of the first episode).

I know this show is quirky, and not for everyone, but I strongly encourage you to give it a try the next time it airs. For the uninitiated, it’s an American remake of a British series by Aardman Animations, the people who made “Chicken Run,” “Wallace & Gromit” and the old Chevron commercials. “Creature Comforts,” in fact, is very much like the Chevron commercials, only with animals instead of cars.

Here’s how it works: the producers did man-on-the-street interviews throughout the U.S. on a variety of topics. Then, the stop-motion clay animators put the audio into the mouths of humorously animated animal characters. So you have a polar bear agonizing over the fact that he never learned to swim, or a pair of husband-and-wife honeybees bickering over whether or not it’s always wise to tell the truth. The choice of animals is charming — for example, an artist talking about the joys of printmaking becomes a dog who has left dirty pawprints all over the kitchen floor. And there’s often a lot of charm and humor in the raw interview material itself, even before the animators add their touch.

Not for every taste, but definitely worth a look. If you have broadband, you can watch an episode here.
