Little Miss Fell Asleep on the Couch

I have this habit of falling asleep in front of the TV. And when I fall asleep in front of the TV, it's during the commercial break in the midst of an Adult Swim show that I have been waiting up all night too watch. Take last night for example, when I fell asleep during Blood Plus and managed to miss the ending.

Having fallen asleep during Adult Swim, I, naturally, woke up to the sound of children's television. Today, it was a show called The Mr. Men Show.

Mr. Men? I used to read those books when I was a kid. And wasn't there a show about them that was on cable when I was maybe in kindergarten or first grade? I had to investigate.

In fact, I learned that there have been four series based on the Mr. Men and Little Miss books, the most recent being the one on Cartoon Network. The new version of the show is kind of cool with music that sounds as thought it came from a 1960s cartoon.

I found this clip from Mr. Men and Little Miss that dates back to 1983. The closing theme strikes me as oddly familiar. Did it run on Nickelodeon as well? I can't remember. It's a pretty funny clip, though. Reminds me of Keeping up Appearances.
