h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The series was a hit in our home. It was active and funny enough for our son, and the humour mostly adult enough to keep our interest, something like Rocky & Bullwinkle where some of the humour was intentionally aimed over the heads of the kids.
Wasn't Greenback a Toad? Didn't see him described, animalwise.
And, what was the name of the space alien with the robot named, unfortunately, Grovel? His episodes were pretty funny, too.

Just a point on Danger Mouse's car; it didn't seem to run without his music going. In fact, in one episode all the world's music had been sucked up, and DM had to resort to a hilarious, but unfortunately timed, back-up cassette.

Yep, he was a toad. And the alien you're mostly thinking of there is Quark. He had a space ship that was a Q ball. He was cool

And I got that episode on tape. I think it's brilliant that the cast have to sing the end credits

Quark! Yeah, that was the guy!
Sorry master, sorry master.

I'm sure that only a portion of them made it to the channel on which my son and I watched them. I'd be interested to know if the DVD's ever become available.

And, I think it was Ducula that stole all the music and forced the team to resort to the back-up tape.

He he There're over 60 episodes- there should be a link to a list of all of them on my space, if it still works Are you in america? Only there're over 6? 7? now

And it was some random wolf bloke that stole the music. All Duckula was interested in was being on the telly.

Okay, this geek's gonna hide now

Yes, I'm in the state of Michigan, USA.
Thanks for clearing up the music theft. That one went over particularly well with my family!

I like that one too

Hello, there. I always seem to come late to the interesting topics. i remember the music episode well. I'm also American, and was wondering on the availability of DVDs, either stateside or mail-order or however. I wouldn't mind paying BBC's sometimes horrendously overpriced fees for a Danger Mouse collection. I saw every American aired episode, which i believe was about two seasons, maybe three?

There's a email list that I subscribe to that has a lot of Americans facing the same problem. It may be worth checking out a few of the sites on my space if you want to find some, but I'm not sure they're issuing them over there

I see that their is a DVD with six episodes available in the UK and Ireland, going for Retail Price: £9.99.

As a bonus, it includes the first Count Duckula episode.
