Piggsburg Pigs (Ruby-Spears, 1990)

2025/10/03

We turn once more to Fox Kids, the legendary Saturday morning programming block that gave us Bobby's World, X-Men, Eek the Cat, the Tick, and... this show. Piggsburg Pigs, created by Fred Silverman's daughter Melissa and produced by Ruby-Spears, feels like the last gasps of the 70s and 80s style of Saturday morning fare before the revolutionary creator-driven works that would define the decade took over the zeitgeist. These pigs only made it one year before hitting the butcher's block, and

Heavens to thunderous theatricality! Hanna Barbera's scenery chewing mountain lion finally takes center stage after popping up here and there, and everywhere even! Whether matching wits with Major Minor or just trying to achieve his dreams of stage notoriety, few characters in the company's repertoire were quite as verbose. So don't exit stage left, or any direction, before checking out this episode!

Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates (Fox Kids, 1990)

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

2025/08/15

Alternate Title: The Ballad of a Brooklyn Broom BanditWhat started as a spat over DuckTales turned into Fox making their own kids entertainment, with an ambitious take on J M Barrie's tale of the boy who never grew up. It's a story of the intricacies of the public domain, schedule slip-ups, ensemble darkhorses and the brilliance of the one and only Tim Curry. We hope we did right by this almost forgotten gem.

Super Chicken (Jay Ward Productions, 1967)

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

2025/08/01

Looks up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a bird in something akin to a plane!! Super Chicken was a project Jay Ward had tried to get to air for over seven years by the time it reached ABC in 1967, when it finally did as part of George of the Jungle. One sip of the super sauce and Henry Cabot Henhouse III fights like a comet! I mean, comets can only fight by crashing into things, so I'm not wrong, am I?

2025/07/18

After 100 episodes of pratfalls, birdcalls, stock gags, flea bags, wild takes and corn flakes, we finally get REALLY TWISTED! It's the wild story of Felix the Cat's 1990s revival series that was as turbulent behind the scenes as it was surreal on the screen. Marc and Jordan from the That's Not Quite All Folks podcast join us as we break down and build up a true cult classic first season that took a drastic turn in the second.FUN!!

2025/07/04

Righty-O! It's Felix, the Professor, Poindexter, Rock Bottom, and the rest of one of the most enduring 1950s television animated series of all time. It's also DEEPLY strange with oddball gags and the episodes being split in two roughly three and a half minute parts. So does it hold up at all? Would you believe "maybe"? Come see what we pull out of the bag of tricks this time!

Record of Lodoss War (Madhouse Inc, 1990)

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

2025/06/20

Unbeknownst to a much younger James, Western sword and sorcery tropes, motifs were a big deal in gaming in 1980s Japan, and from that wellspring would arise one of the most enduring fantasy franchises in that nation. Record of Lodoss War has it all: goblins, dragons, wizards, thieves, and leggy Elvish women that a young Pemmy fell in love with. So come join our return to the world of tabletop gaming tropes in animation.And remember... it's Falis with an F, not a PH.

X-Men Evolution (Film Roman & Marvel Studios, 2000-2003)

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

2025/06/06

It's the X-Men as most kids hadn't seen them before at the dawn of the 21st Century, as teenagers! With the Fox cartoon so fresh in people's minds, this was a way to get a new angle on these now pretty well-known characters, and a match made in heaven for the youth market-oriented WB Network. But as one of the "middle child" adaptations of this franchise, it's not very prominent today. Does it still hold up? Justin Toner joins us to find out!

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

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

2025/05/23

The Hooded Claw is ransoming this podcast description to lure Penelope Pitstop into yet another one of his traps, so I'll keep this one brief: it's the writing of Michael Maltese, the voices of Janet Waldo and Paul Lynde, and one of the most memorable women of animation in the 1960s, all coming together for a true cult classic. Please join us, and maybe help us untie this rope while you're at it?

The Mighty Heroes (Terrytoons, 1966-1967)

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

2025/05/09

And as a raven shouts defiance, the call goes out for the mightiest heroes of all! ... so how did these five guys wind up being the ones to answer it?? A break-out success for Ralph Bakshi in the 1960s, the Mighty Heroes were a bunch of cartoon cut-ups who wouldn't make the cut for the Great Lakes Avengers! It's up and away with this formative superhero parody that has some issues but still somehow holds up.

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

2025/04/25

To follow up DuckTales, did Disney think bigger? Nope, they thought smaller. Rodent size, in fact, by returning Chip and Dale to prominence with a 65 episode run of high adventure in tiny spaces. It's pompous feline crime bosses, nefarious cults centered around soda, and one lady mouse that some people are still strangely fond of, all in this episode with special guest star Cary Woodham!

Dog City (The Jim Henson Company & Nelvana, 1992-1994)

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

2025/04/11

Detective work in the cartoon world is a dog-eat-dog racket. Ace Hart, Private Eye, he'd know. This animated German Shepherd deals with every case thrown at him by his animator Eliot Shag, and even has the nerve to talk back if it's not going so great. Yup, it's a fusion of animation and puppetry courtesy of Nelvana and the Jim Henson Company with some of the cleverest film noir parody ever on Saturday mornings. With special guest, artist Will Carroll!

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

2025/04/04

After post-apocalyptic beasts, a cosmic trilogy and a successful feature film, the Transformers return to animation like never before! Quite literally as Transformers Animated has as much in common with shows like Ben 10 and Teen Titans as it does past iterations of the franchise. And yet it worked so very well, becoming one of the more loved iterations of the robots in disguise to this day!

Gay Purr-ee (UPA, 1962)

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

2025/03/28

It's the only animated appearance by Judy Garland! It's the movie that got Chuck Jones fired from Warner Bros! It's... a box office flop. Gay Purr-ee is a fascinating movie both by its circumstances and the fantastic artwork that went into it, and Krissi helps James on a journey to 1890s Paris through the eyes of a starstruck Mewsette. Best enjoyed with a champagne or at least a soda with lots of Bubbles! Bubbles!

The filthiest language ever on Saturday mornings! Q*Bert hopped out of the arcades and into a pastiche of Happy Days courtesy of Ruby Spears, for a cartoon that was... just kind of mostly there. Atari Archives creator and frequent Retronauts host Kevin Bunch joins Pemmy, Krissi and James to talk about the game, the show, and the circumstances surrounding the video game industry around this time.

World War 2 Propaganda (Multiple Studios, 1942-1945)

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

2025/02/28

Is this trip really necessary? Or rather, is this podcast a little too of the moment?? Well, half of it, anyway. The animation industry became pitchmen for rationing, selling war bonds and other ways to help our men and women overseas during World War 2, while also taking every pot shot the Hayes Code would allow them to at the fascist powers we were opposed to. Can we bring that energy back? Please? Anyhow, we've got Donald Duck, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker and a batch of oddly familiar

Bailey's Comets (DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, 1973)

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

2025/02/14

Would you believe that in 1973, Evel Knievel wasn't done in by a motorcycle accident but a bunch of bumbling roller skaters? Bailey's Comets, another DePatie-Freleng production conceived by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, attempted to out-do Wacky Races in every regard. More characters! More teams for these characters! More outlandish situations! More memorable protag... no, we can't say that with a straight face. Dastardly and Muttly these bozos AIN'T!!

2025/01/31

Rally Ho and away we go! As Hanna Barbera entered their first, brief action/adventure phase, their old comedic roots would still be showing with this particular series at the same time. Thus you had the boisterous Ted Cassidy-voiced Frankenstein Jr bellowing his way through madcap monster battles while the Impossibles took on various eccentric criminals between jamming out. Hard to believe today this show was considered too violent for TV, when it was kind of mild even back then!

2025/01/17

In-between Garfield's own segments was US Acres, a short subject series based on Jim Davis' other, less widespread comic series. The tales of Orson, Roy, Wade, Bo, Lanolin, Booker and Sheldon got pretty popular as part of the show, outlasting the comic they were based on by a good few years, and giving the show's team vehicles for more gags that wouldn't work with Garfield himself. So come down to the farm, y'all!

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

2025/01/02

Arguably the magnum opus of both Jim Davis and Mark Evanier, Garfield and Friends entertained audiences and pushed cartoon writing into some genuinely funny places it hadn't really gone since the heyday of Jay Ward. It's held up remarkably well, and our hosts look at four of their favorite short segments that star the fat cat himself. Tune in for US Acres coverage in two weeks, too!
