Hell YEAH! Whoever wrote this was smoking the good crack!
and also ditto on Jim Knopf. :) I loved that show as a kid and even when I read the books later on, I had the images from the tv show to supplement the ones in my head. There's a great example of a successful adaptation. Unlike The Neverending Story, which I thought at the time was an enjoyable movie by itself but had very little to do with the book. The book is in an entirely different league. I wasn't surprised that Michael Ende wanted his name removed from that project.
