Muzzy
First of all, OBAMA WON!!!!
So, I found my Muzzy discs, everything except German. We used to watch German Muzzy all the time, I even automatically say his name in German. I really wish I could find the German one but because I can't, I'm going to play the Spanish and French one once a day for the kids.
