Vent: My whole weekend got hijacked by a show called 'The Weird World of Wally Wombat'

I was cleaning out my parents' attic in Akron and found a box of VHS tapes, one labeled 'Wally Wombat Halloween Special'. I popped it in, and it was this bizarre 80s puppet show about a detective wombat. I got so hooked I spent the next two days watching all six tapes. The best part was an episode where Wally had to solve a crime at a cheese factory, and the villain was a mouse with a tiny fake mustache. Has anyone else ever stumbled on this show? I feel like I'm the only person who's seen it in 30 years.

Hold up, a mouse with a fake mustache? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. I can picture the whole cheap puppet bit perfectly. Sounds like you found a real treasure in that attic.

Real treasure" feels like a stretch for a dusty old puppet.
