Ed goes out with a bang as Laundronauts narrator

Excellent writing, a creative story line and outstanding performances by a cast led by the late great Ed Asner. The Laundronauts delivers with clever dialogue and a fun, unpredictable storyline. Can't guess where the next episode will lead and I can't wait to find out. What fun!
