    It was the succesor to PBS children's program ZOOM.
    The host is named Ruff Ruffman.
    Ruff Ruffman hates cats (or at least until his co-host named Blossom joined the cast).
    The host is morbidly obese.
    Ruffman is often quirky and clumsy.
    It is basically a ripoff of a variety of reality shows.
