   But that's in following with the entire show. The cat never stopped   
   talking about his clothing... The clothing jokes were a mainstay. It   
   would feel wrong if he didn't bitch about things being done to his   
   clothes and hair.   
      
   It seems weird to me that people would expect it to stray from what it   
   was before because if it did, then we would have had complaints about it   
   being a different show. That diving suit that cat had was classically   
   over the top (and kudos to Danny John Jules for being able to carry that   
   off still).

   I'm just overjoyed that Dwayne Dibbly didn't show up... that would have   
   sent me screaming.

   I thought that was really fun too.
