Kate and I decided we wanted to see a Buddhist version of Bibleman...
...and then we suddenly realized, that was "Monkey".
I have no idea why that seems less inherently tacky than a Christian show. Is it because the Buddhist stories being used there are inherently fantabulous and rather funny, but we've been taught to take the Christian mythos Very Seriously And Respectfully Indeed?
There seems to be a certain underlying sobriety to Bibleman which is lacking in "Monkey". (Hmm, sounds like I'm saying its makers were off their face!)
