One of the newest cartoons on HBO Max which is Chowder creator C.H. Greenblatt's vision of Hanna-Barbera. Been watching a lot of it and I've been absolutely loving it. Might actually be my new favorite modern cartoon. It's such a chaotic and silly show that plays right into my wheelhouse. And some of the reinventions of the characters work really well, especially Top Cat and the gang. Even gender swapping many of the characters has given them some new depth. Plus so many references to obscure HB works that really works in its favor.

I’m seeing a lot of clips and I really wish HBO Max was over here so I could watch it properly because it somehow ticks my box for a new Hanna Barbera show and ticks boxes I didn’t know I had.
Like, there’s an episode that uses characters from Heeyy! It’s The King!, a show I had zero idea existed until this show was made which is kind of like doing a new Looney Tunes show with Gabby Goat.

Well turning a couple of the Top Cat gang into girls works for me, Top Cat rarely had female characters on the show ever.
I am not sure about Jabberjaw, I can only imagine how the female Jabber would annoy Shelly.

Well yeah, Jabberjaw was also based on a member of the Three Stooges, a man's man's comedy act if there ever was one. Maybe this Jabberjaw is the original's daughter, like the new Donkey Hodie? |

I have ideas for season 2 or season 1 part 2, whatever.
I want to see Secret Squirrel, wouldn't be something if he is already there and no one knows yet.
Another idea, grown up or at least teenager Ogee, who comes to visit her old pal Magilla.
Also a Goldielocks and the 3 Bears parody, and the hospital is the place that Goldie invades. Perhaps Augie Doggee can be the Goldie of that episode.

Great show. I didn't have high expectations going in, but it's the perfect amount of chaos and silly humor, and the reinvention of all the classic Hanna Barbara characters works surprisingly well.

Love seeing Grace Helbig, who voices Cindy Bear, get work. We went to college together and while I didn't know her too well, we had a few mutual friends.

"What do you want Spook?" *Spook puts up her hand and makes blaster noises* "A blaster? That's not really our style" *Spook, again, makes blaster noises* "Ok, I'll give you one but it's an accessory, not for use" |

I can't get past that hideous animation style. This. Same reason why I don't want to watch the Park Tales Chip 'n' Dale series on D+. And why I am not shedding tears if the so-called Raccoons reboot isn't happening, as it seems. With animation, it needs to be pleasing to my eye as well as entertaining. |

I can't stop giggling at that Top Cat clip. Same, it's just so stupid The rest of it is pretty great. “Hold up, why do you draw yourself like that?” “Like what?” “With those gorgeous beefy arms and legs” “Errr, because this is what I look like.” “….” “ This is what I look like!” |

This would’ve been real handy when Malakai Black was lame for flapping his gums about all the stuff he had planned in WWE that he didn’t get to do, but before he got cool again by actually doing some of it in AEW (very specific timeframe here)...  |

Also, I really didn’t expect a Dana Snyder Snagglepuss to work as well as it does. Like, you can tell it’s him but he at least plays it like Snagglepuss.
Also also, he’s in this and The Ghost and Molly McGee and I’m all in on Snyder crossing channel barriers in 2021.

Caught a few episodes of the show and I'm in agreement that it's pretty good, it gives off the right amount of chaotic energy without being too annoying, silly or try hard.
My favorite episode thus far would the Top Cat featured episode that was mentioned a few times already, especially since it introduced us to otaku Peter Potamus. The brief scene with Choo Choo looking at Peter's cat girl body pillow and stating "I don't know how to feel about this." had me laughing for a good solid ten minuets.
