I think I might be the only one who thinks this show could have had potential with at least SOME form of effort behind it. If somebody were to re-make this I'm sure it would practically be "Vintage Muppet Show" levels of quality. Like what if Lilli and Sebastian had some form of chemistry and Sebastian constantly tries to steal the spotlight from everybody else to win her over or if Barnaby was more like the "Fozzy" of the group and tries to tell jokes that obviously wouldn't work in the show. There's so much to this show that can easily be implemented and touched upon.
As for the top sketches, the first one was based on a brain fart of Jim Cummings saying something unsafe for work in his "Lionel" voice. While the second is basically a "what if" scenario of what would happen if "Canon" Dumbo met Puppet Dumbo.
