Not only that, Mo does voices on the show and a lot of Sesame Street actors, actresses, and puppeteers help out with voices too. And former MTV VJ, Kevin Seal voices the main character as well as the main villain. You can find the Sheep episodes on Youtube.

BRADLEY GLENN: additional voices
FRAN BRILL: additional voices
DAVID WAIN: additional voices
And special guest voice JERRY NELSON as General Public

This was a great show, and I thought it had potential, too bad it didn't last long.

It reminded me a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and that was a smart show, so I thought this show was quite smart as well... to a degree anyway...

And what made the show even more enjoyable was the fact that so many people from Sesame Street were involved.

And the writing had Sesame Street and Electric Company like humor as well. They usually did jokes about letters and math on Sheep. And it was interesting hearing famous Muppeteer voices on a Cartoon Network show.

Wow, how neat! Very cool focus! I've actually never seen this show, but it sounds so cute. And as both you and Snowthy have said here, it's awesome to see so many familiar names!

And here's the Sheep episode with the great Jerry Nelson as a guest voice. I knew it was him when I first heard General Public speak.

Don't forget Fran Brill did a couple of guest voices on Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Yeah, thank you for the links, Xerus!

Oh your welcome. General Public did sound like Pa Gorg. And some of these episodes were written by Muppeteer, Joey Mazzarino.
