That's right. This pilot is Hanna-Barbera's attempt to rival Jim Henson. Specifically THE MUPPET SHOW. B. B. Beagle is like the show's answer to Kermit the Frog, there is a female dog who is a stuck up starlet who doesn't like this show "It ought to be illegal" as she said in the theme song. There are two burly guys in the bar who love the show and they are their answer to Statler and Waldor.
If THE HANNA-BARBER HAPPY HOUR was round one on aping Henson, then this is round two. If people say that there is no such thing as a MUPPET SHOW knock-off, show them this video on YouTube. You're warned.
