Ok, now im only HALF sure that this show even exists, so bear with me. im looking for a show called Grim Tales. it was hosted by Rik Mayall and had a chair with griffon claws and ostrige legs. he told (grusome) brothers grim stories and they were stop motion animated. if you have seen any, or better yet know where ican find some, hit me up

I think I've seen something like that at Wal*Mart... I looked on Amazon, but the only thing like that that popped up was on VHS, and wasn't available... That's going to bother me, because I think I know what you're talking about, even though I've never watched it.

Oh, I think I remember seeing a bit of one of these on TV waaay back. Not that that is any help, though.
