A Bonkers fact that blew my mind and makes it worse

[horsemen4ever]

The cartoon Bonkers with all its messy production history, the crappy Raw Toonage shorts, and the title character just annoyance. I have always been on record, the Lucky episodes are good, the Miranda are mostly bad but has its moments, and the Raw Toonage shorts are garbage.

I discovered something about the voice casting that I just don't want to know. Did you know the person that voiced Bonkers fem fatle Catwomen esque love interest Katya, do you know who else she voiced on the show? Marilyn Pickel, Lucky's daughter. Now I can't watch that episode "CasaBonkers" ever again. Which is a shame I think it might be the one of the best Miranda episodes of the series, not that they is saying much. Kataya is one of the better characters to come out of the Miranda era that I wouldn't mind being in the superior Lucky episodes.

Okay maybe I am being over dramatic, but now I do want to watch that episode and listen if I hear any glimpse of Marilyn's voice.

And in other news, I got too much time one my hands.

Bonkers bonk you out.

Yeah Bonkers is one of those "I am not making this up" type of shows when you hear about its messy production and what they presented on screen. If it ended up being another Bob Hartley dream I wouldn't be surprised.

Pfft, I always enjoyed Bonkers, it was cute. Not like a top tier cartoon or funny as Animaniacs (who always loved to bag on it because apparently that was Animaniacs’ title in development) or Pinky & The Brain, but it was silly and harmless.

Well there's a name I had long since forgotten.

I am with you at least with the Lucky episodes. I think the show gets a bad rap, mainly because of its comparison, weather it is Animaniacs or the Disney Afternoon shows that proceeded, not measuring up. Or the crap that is the Raw Toonage shorts that brings the score of the show down.

Personally I think, had Robert Tyler been there from the beginning, and it was always the Bonkers and Lucky team. And the shows wasn't hamper with having to eventually write Lucky and those other supporting characters out,etc., it might not be looked as bad at it is.

Also a personnel thought belief, Robert Tyler couldn't use the Raw Toonage cast much, because they couldn't use it the way they wanted, because the people that made the Miranda episodes were stupid to have Bonkers relationship with his co stars be the same as it was in the He's Bonkers shorts. If you watched the two part premiere, his relationship with his co stars was that of they were just actors and they were his friends, but Bonkers didn't have the same type relationship with Jitters that he did in the shorts, nor Fawn Dear. Which is a shame, because I would love to have seen those characters in the Robert Tyler version as his old friends maybe Bonkers and Lucky on a case or need their help on a case. But they couldn't do it, because Duane Capizzi and Robert Hathcock didn't get that. Do they think Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep are ex husband and wife?

The Lucky episodes did have more of a mystery to them. Most of the episodes, you have to figure out who the villain is and stop them, and while watching as an adult the mystery is so obvious, I could see kids having fun with the mystery. Of course Lucky is a detective, while Miranda is not, so them dealing with villains of the week and no mystery on who the adversary kind o makes sense I guess.

If I could reboot Bonkers, one thing I would do, I would have Bonkers and Fawn Dear off screen relationship that she has an obvious crush on it and he is oblivious to it, (maybe even have Katya added as a foil, and Bonkers is crushing on Katya) like Hinata and Naruto, just so obvious to the audience and every other character in the show except for him. Also live action humans.

I have not thought about this show in probaby two and a half decades.

Wait, what's the issue in the OP?

A lady voiced two roles.

Ah yes, Sherry Lynn, who went on to voice a lot of characters in anime dubs, notably a lot of little girl characters.
