Flashback 1983!

May 17 2024 62 mins  
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!

May 12 2024 40 mins  
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)

Apr 26 2024 39 mins  
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)

Apr 12 2024 78 mins  
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 cartoon and we were pleasantly sur

Dr. Slump (Toei Animation, 1981-1986)

Mar 29 2024 76 mins  
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 morning, the sun brushes its teeth and

Challenge of the Super Friends (Hanna Barbera, 1978)

Mar 15 2024 86 mins  
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 cast into the 22-minute run time. So

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

Mar 01 2024 66 mins  
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... surprisingly adult??? Tune in for our expla

The Super Mario Bros Super Show (DiC, 1989-1990)

Feb 16 2024 71 mins  
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 into every story the writers coul

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century (DiC, 1999)

Feb 02 2024 63 mins  
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)

Jan 19 2024 85 mins  
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 classic episodes of the seminal after
