How the Grinch Stole Christmas (MGM Television, 1966)...

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/12/25

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 Christmas and a happy holiday season, and we'll see you all in 2024!

Huckleberry Hound (Hanna-Barbera, 1958-1961)

2023/12/08

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, Scooby Doo and everything else that followed. He's near and dear to James' heart, so join him, Pemmy and Krissi as they give the dog his due.

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

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/12/01

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 it while it was still new and relevant. But be warned, there are SPOILERS ahead, so if you want to watch the Amazing Digital Circus first, you

The New Shmoo (Hanna Barbera, 1979)

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/11/24

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 teen mystery/adventure cartoons not to involve Scooby Doo himself that HB would bring to Saturday morning, and watching this, you can kind of

2023/11/10

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 cartoons featuring the pup. It's a tale of network executives meddling, writers reaching and Fred Flintstone's catchphrase being turned into yet

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/10/27

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 first time, just in time for Halloween.Because nothing is scarier than Disney lawyers.

Batman The Animated Series Part 1 - Harley Quinn...

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/10/13

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 testament to the series and her creators Paul Dini, Bruce Timm and especially Arleen herself. Enjoy, puddins!

2023/08/25

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 of an English language dub, but there was a prior project that saw a small amount of this series dubbed for the home video market, and we check

Pac-Man (Hanna-Barbera, 1982-1983)

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/08/11

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 stellar voice cast. Friend of the podcast and all-around Pac-Man expert Cary Woodham joins Pemmy and James to find the cure for Pac-Man Fever.

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

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/07/28

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 translation from cartridge to cartoon. Krissi Harding returns once more as we try and make as comprehensive a look at this show as a trio of silly

The Flintstones (Hanna Barbera, 1960-1966)

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/07/14

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, cementing Hanna Barbera as a force in entertainment for decades to come. What else but a caveman with mood swings could sell children

Highlander: The Animated Series (Guamont Multimedia,...

2023/06/30

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 animated series that in many ways feels like a product of the previous decade. And sadly no soundtrack from Queen, either.

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/06/16

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 back in time with us to the radical 90s as we see if this cartoon has the juice to get us to 1.21 gigawats!

Jabberjaw (Hanna-Barbera, 1976)

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/06/02

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 company's more memorable characters, and this week we explore the ocean depths of his unintentionally humble start. Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk...

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

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/05/19

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!...

The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny... ·

2023/05/05

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 Porky's Last Stand, before diving into a trio of Bob's masterpieces from the tail end of his tenure at Warner Brothers: Draftee Daffy, Book revue

2023/04/21

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 started modestly, but ended with some of the most unusual parody work the company would ever do. X marks the funtastic spot in this episode, so come

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 his time as part of the Huckleberry Hound Show and 2 shorts from his own headlining program, we hope you'll find this to be smarter than the

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 than life and sometimes very un-PC, and some of the worst animation errors we've seen to date on the podcast.

Break out the varied polyhedral dice, it's time to revisit the first major piece of D&D related media ahead of the big movie coming out at the end of the month! 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) Venger. It racked up a solid three seasons, but how does it hold up now? Krissi Harding returns to the couch to help us put the show in
