It's a Big Big World - creepy, or is it just me?

My little girl is getting old enough to like children’s shows, mainly for the children running around and she like to “dance” to the music. I have somehow gotten over my snobbishness for Barney and finally figured out that Teletubbies actually makes sense…to toddlers. However, my first time ever seeing It’s a Big Big World I watched for the first 15 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with the show. I still can’t put my finger on it accept that it just seems creepy. They have a giant sloth with the slick surfer dude voice like the half teen/man from Step by Step. There is this old monkey that does nothing but zen yoga moves. The rest are kind of ok I guess, but to me they are guilty by association. I can’t stop myself from slooowly changing the channel once I’m past the morbid fascination of the show.

Anyone else ever see the show and find it weird somehow?

And for those who havn’t seen it and are interested I get the same creepy feeling from the website. It could be just a carry-over tho.
