Hilarious show!!!

I don't remember much, but I know this was one of the few TV shows that really made me laugh. I have very fond memories of this. It had so many grotesquely drawn charachters ( like "Cow and Chicken" ) and satirical situations, it was a real treat!

The funniest thing, and I really do mean THE FUNNIEST THING, I ever saw back then in a long time, was in some episode ( help me out if you know it's title ) where Mighty Mouse and some other charachters went to some dinosaur land (?). There they met 2 dinosaurs, one with a head of Fred Flintstone and the other with that of Barney ( Fred's neighbor). When those two dinosaurs started to fight, using a feather (!) attached on a tail to tickle the opponent, I was lying on the floor from laughter. It was so random and non-sensical!

Anyone else have a favorite moment?

Batbat and Tick, the Batman and Robin parody. They drove the Manmobile, a car sporting some serious gluteus maximus. Twisted, funny stuff. Also the episode "Don't Touch That Dial" was absolutely hilarious! They lampooned every popular cartoon on the air at the time: Scooby-Doo, Transformers, anime in general, others I can't remember. This is the episode that come to my mind when I think of the series. I missed out on the infamous cocaine sniffing scene.

Yes, "Don't touch that dial". That was brilliant. Simply brilliant. It's still available on youtube.

And I also loved "Mighty's benefit plan" featuring those characters that were an obvious parody of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

But I still haven't found that Fred Flintstone parody episode.

"Ha..... ha, ha ...... ha, ha ...... mooooooooooooooo"

The cow was my favorite. A male cow? With udders? Classic. One of my favorite John K cartoons (even before I knew who John K was). Why isn't this show on DVD? That is a crime that it isn't available on disc yet.

I agree with you 150%!!! This show really needs to be on dvd. I have very fond memories of this show as well. One that comes to mind (besides "the Cow")as the the episode when they were on a pirate ship and the funny song they were singing "Ohhh the captain....." Anyway they were spoofing Marlon Brando in this one.
By the way, I remeber the infamous flower episode very well and I think a person would really have to looking for some dirt to see it being anything other than a funny cartoon.

PS
I'm probably older than most of you writting on this board, I was about 27 at the time this thing aired. (But lets face it, an appreciation of quality humor has no age limit. My child was 8 years old at the time and if I had to do it over again, I'll still let her see it.

That was just some misplaced fear, someone wanting to make a bigger name for them self (cause fans of the show already had a name for whiney folks like that) and I personally believe someone had it in for the creators fo the show.

...There was one episode where characters were somehow escaping from Scruffy's comic books - One was a dead ringer for Schwarzenegger's version of Conan The Barbarian (who promptly runs outside to a little sports convertible, tears out the driver's seat. jumps in, and drives off!) ( LOL )

Way too many, but my favorite episode(s?) was the Gandy Goose/Pirate one.

Everything from the writing, animation, and voice performances were perfect in this show.
