The Biskitts (Hanna-Barbera, 1983) 48:41

6d ago48:41

48:41

Sometimes a good idea on paper turns sour in the execution. The Biskitts, a show with a strong resemblance to the Smurfs at first glance, could have easily been its own thing if it played more into the Robin Hood-esque outlaw aspects of the characters hiding treasure from a greedy despot and helping others. Instead we get repetitive slapstick, stil…

Be Cool, Scooby-Doo (Warner Bros. Animation, 2015-2018) 1:18:24

21d ago1:18:24

1:18:24

Like, Scooby and the gang get a whole lot more talkative and a lot sillier in this one, man! Swinging the pendulum in the direction of comedy after the darker Mysteries Incorporated, Be Cool was advertised as a more back to basics approach, but only in terms of storytelling. Between one daffy take on Daphne Blake and the major increase in gags per …

Beetlejuice (Warner Bros & Nelvana, 1989-1991) 1:25:27

1M ago1:25:27

1:25:27

It's showtime! Just in time for Halloween and in the wake of his massively successful comeback movie, Beetlejuice fever is running wild once more, so what better time to revisit the characters' kid friendly incarnation in animation? Nelvana, with Tim Burton himself helping develop the show, brought the Ghost with the Most to ABC Saurday mornings an…

The Smurfs (Hanna-Barbera, 1981-1989) 1:32:10

2M ago1:32:10

1:32:10

9 seasons, 101 little blue fellows, and one nearly inescapable cultural force. The Smurfs, straight out of Belgium and the pen of creator Peyo, sang and played while evading Gargamel to the delight of 80s kids and no doubt the annoyance of their parents. Behind the Hanna-Barbera created cartoon is a long history of comics and other animations exten…

Danger Mouse (Cosgrove Hall, 1981-1992) 1:05:19

3M ago1:05:19

1:05:19

He's courageous! He's amazing! He's... a mouse in a London pillar box. Danger Mouse protects the world from the criminal activities of Baron Silas Greenback and various other would-be world beaters alongside the hapless helper Penfold, all with the stiff upper lip we associate with our friends from across the pond. Running for over a decade in its …

Sport Billy (Filmation, 1980, US Broadcast in 1982) 1:00:28

4M ago1:00:28

1:00:28

A semi-major FIFA mascot who came from a comic book isn't the craziest choice for a cartoon subject, but Sport Billy did not deserve to be saddled with the bizarrely bad acting of Lane Scheimer. A mid-season replacement on NBC in 1982, the show would be the last Filmation product that network would pick up for their Saturday morning schedule. No am…

Gumby (Premavision/Clokey Productions, 1956 through 1989) 58:50

4M ago58:50

58:50

No dammit necessary, he's Gumby! The little clay fellow who could go anywhere, do anything, and wound up in all sorts of messes because of those very attributes. With friends Pokey, Prickle and Goo, Gumby's adventures enchanted generations, inspired numerous stop motion artists to come, and could quickly go from adorable to WILD in a heartbeat! Joi…

Laff-a-Lympics (Hanna-Barbera, 1977-1978) 1:27:52

4M ago1:27:52

1:27:52

Heavens to athlete's foot! With 20 years under their belt, Hanna Barbera plunged into their character archive to assemble three teams to compete in a pastiche of Battle of the Network Stars in Laff-a-Lympics. Just getting there, though, was a long, winding race to rival any carrying of the Olympic torch! Pemmy, Krissi and James line up on the track…

Robin Hood (Walt Disney Feature Animation, 1973) 1:22:59

5M ago1:22:59

1:22:59

Oo De Lally, this movie had a wild and winding history to its making! Robin Hood is arguably the cult sensation of the various Disney feature films, not nearly as big as the Silver Age and Rennaissance Age hits that sandwich its release, but still much adored by those who grew up with it. Linwood Knight joins James and Krissi to break down why the …

Tiny Toon Adventures (Warner Bros Animation/Amblin Entertainment, 1990-1992) 1:20:54

5M ago1:20:54

1:20:54

They're tiny, they're tooney, they took the fight right to Disney for syndicated dominance! Tiny Toon Adventures brought Warner Bros' animation division back to top form, with the help of Steven Spielberg and a host of talented writers, artists and voice actors. Krissi and James are joined by friend of the podcast Meiou to discuss the wild comedic …

Duck season! Rabbit season! Elmer season! Podcast season!! Arguably three of the most memorable Looney Tunes shorts ever created, Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck! have made generation after generation laugh hysterically. Pemmy and Krissi are happy to be along for the ride as James tries to find something, ANYTHING new to say ab…

Help! It's The Hair Bear Bunch! (Hanna-Barbera, 1971) 56:55

6M ago56:55

56:55

Hogans Heroes comes to Saturday morning?! Well, in an indirect way, as these three bears are trying to work around a very authoritarian zoo administrator and his bumbling zookeeper assistant. The Hair Bear Bunch became a cult hit in reruns on USA and Cartoon Network long after it didn't do so hot in its first network TV run. So get out all your bes…

Flashback 1983! 1:02:02

7M ago1:02:02

1:02:02

Pemmy, James, Kyle and Justin return to see what a difference 10 years really could make in the world of Saturday morning. Scooby Doo had jumped from CBS to ABC, the Smurfs were dominant, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Littles and Dungeons and Dragons were ascendant, and Richie Rich kept having to prop up other properties. So come along and join us!…

Flashback 1973! 40:14

With plans having gone up in smoke more than once, we're breaking the glass on an emergency episode, which turned out so long we had to split it into two parts! So here's part 1 where Pemmy and James were joined by Justin Toner and Kylepedia to talk about the entire Saturday morning schedule of 1973!…

Shake Rattle & Roll (Hanna Barbera, 1977 as part of the CB Bears) 39:06

7M ago39:06

39:06

Three goofy ghosts running a moribund motel for the dearly departed? That's a GREAT idea for a cartoon! Then how the heck did Hanna Barbera make this so... so... below average!?! It's a sad thing when even the likes of Paul Winchell, Joe E Ross AND Alan Oppenheimer cannot salvage this mediocre effort. If they couldn't, what hope do us ameteurs have…

Alf the Animated Series (DiC and Alien Productions, 1987-1988) 1:18:37

8M ago1:18:37

1:18:37

Hide your cats, the old Alfer is back, and NOT in pog form! With the smash success of his sitcom, Gordon Shumway quickly joined NBC's Saturday morning roster in 1987 courtesy of DiC. And you can tell they were given a budget for this show since it's downright lavish compared to a lot of that company's output. In fact, this is a better than average …

Dr. Slump (Toei Animation, 1981-1986) 1:16:12

8M ago1:16:12

1:16:12

N'cha! Too few American fans of Akira Toriyama have seen the anime that first made him a household name in Japan, and that includes James and Krissi. So Pemmy and special guest Kylepedia help them fix that with this examination of the first two episodes of this absolutely goofy series. So come join us in Penguin Village where pigs announce the morn…

Challenge of the Super Friends (Hanna Barbera, 1978) 1:26:10

9M ago1:26:10

1:26:10

Faster than a speeding plot device! More powerful than hammy voice acting! It's the most famous season of the show that defined the DC Comics heroes and villains for an entire generation of kids! The Justice League versus the Legion of Doom across 16 episodes of some of the most over the top camp ever seen on Saturday morning, cramming a massive ca…

The Legend of Zelda (DiC, 1989 as part of the Super Mario Bros Super Show) 1:06:35

9M ago1:06:35

1:06:35

In part 2 of our coverage of the Super Mario Super Show, we hustle to Hyrule and check out the Friday feature of the series, The Legend of Zelda. In this Moonlighting-inspired take on the then-fledgling franchise, Link and Zelda butt heads and fend off the warlock Ganon together in a cartoon that's turned campier with age. And yet it's... surprisin…

The Super Mario Bros Super Show (DiC, 1989-1990) 1:11:54

10M ago1:11:54

1:11:54

Is there any more consistently enduring 80s icon than Mario, the mascot of Nintendo's platforming games? Well, whether you agree with that or not, Mario Bros Mania was indeed everywhere by the end of that decade and this cartoon was the ultimate proof of that. A wild mix of live action segments and goofball cartoons putting the plumbers and company…

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century (DiC, 1999) 1:03:25

With Pemmy away visiting his kid for their birthday, Krissi leads James on a cyberpunk-style take on the Holmes Cannon courtesy of DiC and Scottish Televison. With writers absolutely game to make the most of their 20-minute time allotments, this series comes so close to perfection you can almost taste it!…

DuckTales (Walt Disney Television, 1987-1990) 1:25:04

11M ago1:25:04

1:25:04

This podcast isn't much like a hurricane, but it come at you fast! DuckTales was Disney's biggest step into television animation to that point, and it was the single biggest harbinger of the 90s Animation Renaissance, paving the way for much of what would follow. Justin Toner joins the podcast crew as we dive into the Money Bin to check out two cla…

Donald Duck (Walt Disney Company, 1934-1959) 1:25:45

11M ago1:25:45

1:25:45

We've dipped our toes in Disney content in the latter half of last year, but now it's time for one of their most famous stars to get the spotlight. Donald Duck is by far the most prolific Disney character between animation and comics across the globe, making him a natural first choice for our dives into the material that built the foundation of the…

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (MGM Television, 1966) & Mickey's Christmas Carol (Walt Disney Studios, 1983) 1:13:33

11M ago1:13:33

1:13:33

Two tales of holiday redemption, together in one podcast to close out the year. Pemmy and James look at the very first TV special inspired by the works of Dr. Seuss as Chuck Jones builds upon a 9 minute read and makes a masterpiece, while Disney tackles Charles Dickens' literary classic while squashing it down to about 25 minutes. Have a Merry Chri…

Huckleberry Hound (Hanna-Barbera, 1958-1961) 1:03:14

12M ago1:03:14

1:03:14

You've seen the meme "Every so often a blue dog comes to guide the generations," right? Most folks today can speak to Bluey and Blue's Clues, but what of animation's OG cyan canine, Huckleberry Hound? This gentle, optimistic fellow broke Hanna Barbera's TV animation company to the big time, setting the stage for Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Top Cat,…

Bonus Episode: The Amazing Digital Circus (GLITCH, 2023) 31:26

12M ago31:26

31:26

Surprise! We have an episode as unexpected as the success of the show in question! On October 13th GLITCH unleashed onto YouTube this demented little treat of a cartoon aimed at a slightly older crowd than much of the fare we've covered on this podcast. Pemmy loved it, and he talked James into making this quick bonus episode of the podcast to cover…

The New Shmoo (Hanna Barbera, 1979) 46:21

1y ago46:21

46:21

Al Capp, the cartoonist behind Lil' Abner and (thereby) the original portrayals of the Shmoo, passed away just two months after this show made it onto the air. We can't even begin to imagine what the outspoken Capp must have thought of his parable for the Earth's bounty being turned into a mystery solving shapeshifter. It was one of the last of the…

Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (Hanna Barbera (and Ruby-Spears) 1979-1982) 1:21:33

1y ago1:21:33

1:21:33

Puppy Power Goes Wrong! Or rather, it first goes right then goes wrong? Or goes right in all the wrong ways? The legacy of Scrappy-Doo, one of the most maligned characters Hanna-Barbera ever created, isn't as simple as some make it out to be, and Pemmy, James and Krissi sit down to hash out what happened, when and why, while looking at three cartoo…

The Ghost and Molly McGee (Disney Television Animation, 2021 to Present) 45:40

1y ago45:40

45:40

In comedy, the law is that diametric opposites are inevitably pulled together just because the universe wants to see personalities clash. Hence, in this modern Disney Channel favorite, the ever optimistic Molly drags curmudgeonly Scratch into misadventure after misadventure. Pemmy and James dip their toes into the house that the mouse built for the…

Batman The Animated Series Part 1 - Harley Quinn (Warner Animation, 1992-1999 when including the WB episodes) 1:25:30

1y ago1:25:30

1:25:30

In the wake of Arleen Sorkin passing away last August, Pemmy, James and Krissi Harding set out to pay tribute to the character she was instrumental in unleashing on the world. That a snarky little gun moll named Harleen Quinzel could somehow upstage the Joker himself and become one of the most recognizable characters in DC Comics to this day is a t…

Lupin the Third, Part 2 (aka the Red Jacket Series, TMS Entertainment, 1977-1980) 57:10

1+ y ago57:10

57:10

Few criminals in animation history are as notorious or beloved as Lupin the Third, the simultaneously suave and goofy gentleman thief. In his second anime run, which Pemmy and James look at in this episode, the character became TMS' flagship property, running over 150 episodes. Many of his US fans first encountered him via Adult Swim's broadcasts o…

Pac-Man (Hanna-Barbera, 1982-1983) 1:08:28

1+ y ago1:08:28

1:08:28

Video game mania erupted in the early 1980s with the arrival of Namco's revolutionary maze-chase game, so leave it to Hanna-Barbera to turn the property into a dollar store diet cola version of both the Smurfs and the Flintstones. That's just the kind of rut HB was in during the 1980s, sadly, but it's not a complete loss thanks to the efforts of a …

Captain N: The Game Master (DiC, 1989-1991) 1:41:25

1+ y ago1:41:25

1:41:25

Before Smash Brothers, before any of the Capcom crossover fighting games, before just about any significant gaming crossover, there was a humble little cartoon on NBC called Captain N. DiC let kids live vicariously through Kevin Keene as he's sucked into the worlds of Mega Man, Metroid, Castlevania and more... except a LOT was changed in the transl…

The Flintstones (Hanna Barbera, 1960-1966) 1:14:20

1+ y ago1:14:20

1:14:20

50 Episodes?? YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!! As massive Hanna Barbera nuts, Pemmy and James couldn't think of a better show to watch for this little milestone than their most successful foray into prime time television. The Flintstones ran a solid six seasons with the brilliant voice acting of Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl, Bea Benaderet and Mel Blanc at the helm…

Highlander: The Animated Series (Guamont Multimedia, 1994-1995) 49:24

1+ y ago49:24

49:24

Pemmy and James wonder if the makers of the original Highlander movie expected anything like this to be spun off from it: a cartoon set 700 years after the apocalypse, where the Immortals give up killing each other except for one malcontent named Kortan. Still, there's prophecy, Macleods, swordplay and some remarkably done backgrounds in this anima…

Back to the Future (Universal Cartoon Studios, 1991-1992) 56:57

1+ y ago56:57

56:57

Great Scott! The very first original cartoon series from Universal's then newly minted animation firm was a direct follow up to the Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale-helmed movie trilogy. Except... not precisely. The series isn't considered canonical to the films, and looking at these episodes there's any number of potentially valid reasons why. So head…

Jabberjaw (Hanna-Barbera, 1976) 1:04:31

1+ y ago1:04:31

1:04:31

Underwater adventures! A teenage rock band! Exotic monsters! And best of all, a talking shark! How could Jabberjaw possibly be bad?! Well, there was the fact that the writers at Hanna Barbera have been going to the same "teenage mystery/adventure" well for seven years now and it was starting to dry up. Despite this, Jabberjaw remains one of the com…

The Ant & the Aardvark (DePatie-Freling, 1969-1971) 45:28

1+ y ago45:28

45:28

Arguably one of the most popular series of shorts DePatie-Freling put together that's not directly tied to the Pink Panther film franchise, a debonair ant is perpetually pursued by a back-talking aardvark. What separated this from other chase cartoons? SASS. So much SASS. That and a really catchy soundtrack from Doug Goodwin!…

Daffy Duck Part 2: The Clampett Corneal Catastrophe! (Warner Bros, various years) 1:02:06

1+ y ago1:02:06

1:02:06

Daffy was most frequently at his Daffiest under the directorial vision of Bob Clampett. The rubbery animation and wild, exaggerated takes he employed made the screwy duck probably his most effective character to express his individual sense of what was funny. Pemmy and James explore one of Bob's earlier Daffy cartoons co-starring with Porky Pig in …

Yogi's Treasure Hunt (Hanna-Barbera, 1985-1987) 51:41

Hey kids! It's a fresh syndicated start that'll warm anyone's heart! Well, at least it'll make it laugh. Yogi's Treasure Hunt was a key part of the Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera block of shows, bringing the first generation of funny animal characters back to form and returning Dastardly and Muttley to the company after a rights dispute. It start…

We've had a lot to say about Hanna-Barbera's meddling kids style shows of the 1970s, but what of the properties that made them a household name in the first place? The best place to start is by packing this pic-a-nic podcast for a trip down to scenic Jellystone Park for a look at one of their most popular characters, Yogi Bear! With 2 shorts from h…

1:21:12

With Wrestlemania just coming around the corner, Pemmy and James are joined by the Uncharted Territory's podcast's own Chad Olson to turn back the clock to the era of the very first Wrestlemania and the WWF's quest to broaden their audience. Partnering with DiC, we got cartoonish exaggerations of personalities who were themselves already larger tha…

Six kids get stranded in a non-specific realm loaded with D&D beasties via an amusement park ride, and regularly match wits with the ruthless (and not very wise, just look at his stat sheet…

1:10:02

Podcast listeners, Transform and ROLL OUT! No other boys toy line to get a cartoon in the 1980s seems to have had nearly the longevity that the Transformers have had. The mix of science fantasy, boisterous characters and imaginative designs just clicked into place like a well built Leader Class toy, in spite of all the wild animation errors and goo…

Ed, Edd & Eddy (aka Cartoon, 1999-2009) 45:04

2y ago45:04

45:04

JAWBREAKERS!! They were the odd ducks of Cartoon Network's first real burst of original programming. The brainchildren of Danny Antonucci, Ed, Edd & Eddy's misadventures in their cul-de-sac usually ended in pain and humiliation in equal measure. The unique animation and bizarre slant on the kids' slice of life format made it a sleeper hit that ran …

Room-a-zoom-zoom! The Josie variation of the Scooby Doo mold is put into action on the race track as Speed Buggy adds elements of Speed Racer and the Love Bug into the mix. Is Tinker the most unlikely mechanical genius out there? Is Debbie the most underrated female character in Hanna Barbera's library? Can James withstand the sheer number of times…

1:03:50

From her roots as Dan DeCarlo's creation named after his wife, Josie McCoy's eight year journey from comic books to cartoons took some interesting turns before she and the Pussycats even hit the airwaves. Once they did, their show was somehow more than the sum of its parts, and sits alongside the likes of Top Cat and Wacky Races as one of Hanna Bar…

The holiday season is wrapping up, and as Krissi Harding helps Pemmy and James warm up from their misadventure, they enjoy a look back at two more vintage Christmas specials. A Garfield Christmas and A Claymation Christmas Celebration both debuted on CBS on December 21st of 1987, making them natural fits to review together, and possibly set the sta…

Seriously, folks, a lot of what we've been looking at this fall has pointed us to this very Christmas special, one of the four most well known of its ilk. It's a tale of the consequences of bullying, of misfit toys and oddball prospect…
