Surprised to hear the weird Beetlejuice cameo. I know they had the original voice actor and ABC ran the Beetlejuice cartoon for a time with Fox.

I thought this was the time that Tom Arnold was starting with The Jackie Thomas Show, which had a 2-3 year run, which led up to Tom Arnold being part of the only team to have a perfect Bullseye Bank and winning it on Family Feud in 1994.

Still before the show debuted, and it only had a five month run from December 92 - April 93 |

I dont get the point of this special. If its trying to say that we need more funny cartoons (as opposed to cutesy or action cartoons), there were PLENTY around in 1992. I mean, you had Garfield and Friends, Mother Goose and Grimm, Raw Toonage, Tiny Toons, Bobby's World (it was a good show!),etc. Not to mention all the nickelodeon cartoons. In fact, ABC themselves had darkwing duck, beetlejuice, and a little show called the bugs bunny and tweety show (oh yeah, and hammerman, hey, unintentional comedy counts too doesnt it?) around this time.

I know John K. (creator of Ren and Stimpy) has railed against those 80's cartoons as well (but what doesn't he rail against?). So really about that time we were starting to move from company controlled cartoons to creator controlled cartoons. |

Pretty much. Hell, most of the shows mentioned in the special like Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears were cancelled several years before this special, and the mentality of cartoons was getting smarter and funnier for the most part. And none of the things Rosey and Buddy were adding were original or game changing. They were for the most part stuff that was already done to death. |

I love that Ukinojoe reference for "Bobby's World." Anyway, I only remember seeing a clip of this show when ABC aired its TGIF and Saturday morning lineup that they did either every year or every few months. Even I thought it looked stupid. After reading that article, I, too, wondered if they were supposed to be kids, midgets or drawn that way as Japanese cartoon characters. Did it even make it past the pilot? |

Yeah, the sea change in US animation by 1992 was already in full swing. One could assume Roseanne (who co-wrote this) might have been too busy with her work to sit down and really look at the cartoons of that time to determine whether or not she was actually saying something revolutionary (which she wasn't).
As for John K, he's pretty much Armond White with talent. If it's not from Bob Clampett, Mike Judge or old school Hanna Barbera, he hates it.
