It’s a clever show for the youngest tykes and more than tolerable for older kids and parents. I saw parts of six or seven streaming episodes a few months ago while sitting for a friend’s one-year-old.

It’s like an animated “Bennie Hill” w/out the nasty dirty Old Man and w/out the Hot Chicks!

We watched it on Netflix streaming. I don’t know where else it might be available. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip, sailor

I see it’s from the Wallace and Grommit gang so it’s bound to be great fun !!

Been watching it for years. My mother even bought the DVDs. Great fun and creativity from Aardman Studios who gave us Wallace and Grommit and Chicken Run.

It’s very clever animation./ stop time animation

Shaun is a spin off character from Wallace and Grommit.

I especially like the baby sheep Timmy and his binky.

I love it! I’ve watched all the way through, alas, so I have to give it a breather before going back. Btw, my kids are all grown and I watch it on my own because it’s really funny but non-political.

Wow! Thanks - we have the coolest stuff on FR!

I just watched a few on youtube. I may be wrong, but I'll bet these animators used to do the stuff on Pee Wee's Playhouse. The stuff they do with the eyes looks like the animations Pee Wee had - Penny, the toys, food in the fridge, ect...

I think we have all of them...maybe a dozen different DVDs by this time plus Timmy Time. Got most of them at Costco although I found a couple we didn’t have at Frys. All ages love it including my 1 yo. No language to speak of, just brilliant facial expressions, sound effects, and sound track. We watch them over and over.

Nick Park did do Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” video- not sure about Pee Wee.

I googled and found that Nick Park and Richard Goleszowski DID do Penny on Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I’ll bet they did the dinosaur family too!
