"I remember being a very, very devastated 11-year-old when Kratt's Creatures disappeared, and out popped a new Kratt Brothers show featuring a stuffed animal and people hopping up and down. I'm still holding a deep-rooted grudge." -Pamela

Same here, except I was nine.

Well, seeing as I've met them both (along with their wives, siblings and parents) I can personally guarantee you that they are brothers.

Maybe you should start being a little more observant and a little less homophobic.

Come on, those guys aren't brothers, there gay. I haven't watched the show in years but caught it this morning. I can't even begin to count how many homosexual innuendos there were. Example: they were going to travel to Africa and as they were leaving they sang a fruity little song about "going into the closet together to grab their bags". I don't have a problem with them being gay, I just think think it's ridiculous that they expect people to buy into the B.S. that they are brothers.

Gay couple? Are you for real?

This show didn't "become" Zoboomofoo any more than Nightrider became Baywatch. Just because the same people are in it, doesn't make it the same show. Kratts Creatures ended, Zoboo began. Zoboo ended and eventually Be the Creature began. THREE DIFFERENT SHOWS PEOPLE!

I thought the reason why they changed the format and name was because the "Kratt's Creatures" was a little too presumptuous (it's like saying the Kratt brothers made the them, instead of saying "God's Creatures.") Whatever the reasons was for retooling the show, I still like it, but the previous was better. I realised the brothers show more skin on the this new show.

That environmentalist girl on the computer was way, way too shrill to handle per episode. Otherwise it was pretty good.

I don't really follow the show but whenever I see it, they'll act like they are encountering an animal and then they'll cut to stock footage of it shot, obviously, at another time and place. Lame!

The exact second they decided that just because us really smart kids were the only ones watching that they were aiming at the really stupid little kids with a stupid plushed lemur named Zaboomafoo...that was when they totally killed themselves. My god, there was never such an annoying character as Zaboomafoo.

I loved Kratt's creatures, but I hate Zooboomafoo or what ever the hell its called. Kratt's creatures had kind of a gritty, amateur feel, where it seemed like the guys were just having fun. It sucked when it became more high-tech and dumbed down. They need to bring back Allison and Ttark!

I wholeheartedly agree with the point being made that I thought they were an adorable gay couple when I first saw them. I'm thinking my goodness when it comes time to do a documentary on the California grey squirrel I hope they do one on me. I also want to know where was the union when that upstaging primate thing was cast. Weren't there any adorable North American animal co-hosts to chose from?

Forget the Croc Hunter, Kratts' Creatures was the best nature show ever. The Kratt BROTHERS (I don't know why finding that out would make you stop watching. They make brother jokes in every episode.) are both smart and entertaining. That Alex girl was kind of dumb, but at least when she actually went with the bros I could wish she'd get attacked or something. And the cartoon dude, I think his name was Tark, was hilarious. Thankfully they kept him in a TV set. The only time that physical toon-human contact was good was in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?". The new show, Zoboomafoo, ditched Alex & Tark in favor of some retarded baboon puppet that Chris & Martin treat like a *real* talking primate.

But it came close to jumping...after I read the comment about them being an "adorable gay couple"... I can't stop laughing! But seriously, Chris and Martin are stellar human beings, who have given up a lot of things in life to do what they do. I, for one, appreciate them. A lot.

For the *longest* time, I thought this show was fabulous because of the adorable gay couple that hosted it... Then I found out they were actually brothers... I immediately lost interest and was also sufficiently icked out.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the Kratt brothers didn't start talking to the stupid puppet until the show became the rip-off "Zoboomafoo," one of the worst mistakes the PBS people ever made.
