The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast

He's courageous! He's amazing! He's... a mouse in a London pillar box. Danger Mouse protects the world from the criminal activities of Baron Silas Greenback and various other would-be world beaters alongside the hapless helper Penfold, all with the stiff upper lip we associate with our friends from across the pond. Running for over a decade in its native country and doing good business in the States for Nickelodeon, the secret agent gave many 80s kids in America their first real taste of British comedy.

A semi-major FIFA mascot who came from a comic book isn't the craziest choice for a cartoon subject, but Sport Billy did not deserve to be saddled with the bizarrely bad acting of Lane Scheimer. A mid-season replacement on NBC in 1982, the show would be the last Filmation product that network would pick up for their Saturday morning schedule. No amount of penalty kicks can make up for this! Pemmy, Krissi and James have been wanting to get this out of the- I mean, examine this now rarely seen cartoon for a while, so come join them!

No dammit necessary, he's Gumby! The little clay fellow who could go anywhere, do anything, and wound up in all sorts of messes because of those very attributes. With friends Pokey, Prickle and Goo, Gumby's adventures enchanted generations, inspired numerous stop motion artists to come, and could quickly go from adorable to WILD in a heartbeat! Join us as we watch how a molded figurine broke the mold!

Heavens to athlete's foot! With 20 years under their belt, Hanna Barbera plunged into their character archive to assemble three teams to compete in a pastiche of Battle of the Network Stars in Laff-a-Lympics. Just getting there, though, was a long, winding race to rival any carrying of the Olympic torch! Pemmy, Krissi and James line up on the track to talk about the mother of all cartoon crossovers!

Oo De Lally, this movie had a wild and winding history to its making! Robin Hood is arguably the cult sensation of the various Disney feature films, not nearly as big as the Silver Age and Rennaissance Age hits that sandwich its release, but still much adored by those who grew up with it. Linwood Knight joins James and Krissi to break down why the movie turned out as it did, especially with all that notorious recycled and traced over animation, and discuss what worked and what could have worked better.

They're tiny, they're tooney, they took the fight right to Disney for syndicated dominance! Tiny Toon Adventures brought Warner Bros' animation division back to top form, with the help of Steven Spielberg and a host of talented writers, artists and voice actors. Krissi and James are joined by friend of the podcast Meiou to discuss the wild comedic lunacy of a trio of short subjects from the first season, and a pair of music videos. If you know the show, you probably don't need us to tell you which music videos they are.

Duck season! Rabbit season! Elmer season! Podcast season!! Arguably three of the most memorable Looney Tunes shorts ever created, Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck! have made generation after generation laugh hysterically. Pemmy and Krissi are happy to be along for the ride as James tries to find something, ANYTHING new to say about these brilliant cartoons. All this, and Rabbit Rampage, too!

Hogans Heroes comes to Saturday morning?! Well, in an indirect way, as these three bears are trying to work around a very authoritarian zoo administrator and his bumbling zookeeper assistant. The Hair Bear Bunch became a cult hit in reruns on USA and Cartoon Network long after it didn't do so hot in its first network TV run. So get out all your best hair care products and join us at the Wonderland Zoo for this diamond in the rough of a cartoon!

Pemmy, James, Kyle and Justin return to see what a difference 10 years really could make in the world of Saturday morning. Scooby Doo had jumped from CBS to ABC, the Smurfs were dominant, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Littles and Dungeons and Dragons were ascendant, and Richie Rich kept having to prop up other properties. So come along and join us!

With plans having gone up in smoke more than once, we're breaking the glass on an emergency episode, which turned out so long we had to split it into two parts! So here's part 1 where Pemmy and James were joined by Justin Toner and Kylepedia to talk about the entire Saturday morning schedule of 1973!
