We never anticipated that the show would be available on video -- let alone small, shiny discs played by a laser! That was science fiction stuff. So the idea that fans could play and replay (and replay! ;) episodes, taking in every detail, never occurred to us. I only have a couple episodes o...

No, I don't know anything about a Canadian dub. I was surprised to learn of it from all of you. I don't know why such would be necessary, unless Nippon TV sold rights to the series like franchises, country by country, with each providing its own new voice tracks. We got weekends off. Usually...

Hmm. Those are some flattering questions. Well, my life and career choices just sort of happened. Yes, I still do voice work, but it's for radio. From time to time you can hear me on The Onion Radio News, which is syndicated in the U.S. and airs on The Howard Stern Show. I'd love to do more ...

It wasn't broken down into seasons per se, but we were told when we advanced into the next year. We did keep track of where we were and how many more were coming.

Nuts! And here I was hoping the DVD producers would fly me to Australia! You'll all have to come here, then. I'll pull all my stuff out of storage and await all your expert questions. One funny story that immediately comes to mind was how we had to change the scripts. The translation...

Hello, all, and thanks to Tom for e-mailing me today. My name is Jay Rath, and I was Skunk -- and many other characters. I have dozens of photos of our cast and recording sessions, all of our scripts, some raw audio tape and other materials. I'd love to assist the DVD producers and answer any qu...
