TWant to take a trip down memory lane? We've got a one-way ticket to the unforgettable era of the Fox Children's Network and Fox Kids Network, where the brilliant art deco visuals and spine-tingling theme tunes of the Batman animated series left a lasting mark. From the chilling Joker to the enigmatic Penguin, and the fearsome Bane to the icy Mr. Freeze, we plumb the depths of Gotham's most notable villains. Plus, we shed light on Harley Quinn's unexpected origins and voice actor Kevin Conroy's unsung contribution to the series.

But don't adjust your dial just yet, because we're also rekindling memories of the world outside Gotham. Think back to 'The Simpsons', 'Garfield', 'Heathcliff', and even 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' - didn't they just make your Saturday mornings? We also take a nostalgic look at 'Eek the Cat' and his love affair with the obese Clairbale - a relationship that brought size acceptance to the forefront of kids' cartoons, long before it was trendy. Remember Sharky, the dog like no other, who was hell-bent on giving Eek a reality check? And Annabelle, the morbidly obese Southern Belle, who taught us that beauty comes in all shapes?

Finally, we dig into how cartoons evolved from being just for kids to a form of entertainment for adults as well. We reminisce about the popular Fox Kids Network shows like 'The Tick' and 'Spider-Man', and discuss how they came about, and the talents behind them. By the end of this trip down memory lane, you'll be longing for the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons. So, grab your cereal bowl and tune in for a fun-filled trip to the past!
