Quick review

Take interviews with the best and brightest middle America has to offer and make it look like they're coming out of the mouths of claymation animals. That's CBS's Creature Comforts.

It's based on a British show (that was based on a film) and run by the guy who did Wallace and Grommit and Flushed Away. Good start for a little half-hour throw away type show. It's helped by the fact that it can be really funny at times (and even funnier when you're picturing the people who're actually saying this stuff).

For an easy visual, imagine a discussion about the type of nose a certain wine has -- but coming out of the mouths of a pair of dogs sniffing another dog. Or a laboratory rat discussing medical care. Or a pair of horses talking about pheromones.

It's cute and funny and is on the brink of being OK for families. Most of the time the entire atmosphere they create on screen has a lot to do with the comedy. I'll continue to watch, though its potential for consistency is questionable.
