The hits just keep on coming for Tardy queries. So, I thought I'd share my favorite things about the dim little turtle from Greg the Bunny. Like Barney on The Simpsons, Tardy gets the throw-away one liners. They're usually brilliant non-sequiters or add that perfect touch of lunacy to a scene. After four episodes I can honestly say he's my favorite character on the show, and that's saying something. The show is great. It's this generation's puppet show (my generation had Alf, and the one before it had all those Sid & Marty shows and The Muppet Show). The idea that puppets are real people, like with the Muppets, is a great one, and they've really pulled it off. But, Tardy stands out. With his quiet song and "I'm dead, Gil." from the paintball episode, the "I am strong now!" from the blackmail one and "People aren't allowed to touch me where my bathing suit covers" in the first one, he has captured my heart. I will forever be a Tardy fan. Well, at least until he sells out and goes Hollywood.
