The Saturday Morning Super-Cast

Hey folks! Wanted to let you know what's up with what's up!

It's a two-fer folks! It's all Bill & Ted all the time this week! We start out discussing one of the most intrguing media tie-in cereals, and then we talk about the show that went along with it. Your enjoyment of this episdoe will depend greatly on your fondness for the characters. I think you'll enjoy.

In the '80s, Little-everything was BIG. Muppet Babies, Little Clowns of Happytown...well....Muppet Babies was big. What about tiny magicians? Little Wizards was a show....and that's about it. Should it be better-remembered? Listen and find out. But first, the crew takes on DINERSAURS...which was a cereal. And that's about it. A concept that...well, just listen.

Of all the shows in the "And Son" category, this show is one of them. Popeye and Son takes what could be a great concept and just kinda...well...it's not a TOTAL disaster. Unlike the release of ProGrain cereal. A cereal aimed at tweens that looked like a health-obsessed adult brand. I can't imagine why it failed.

What do you get when a toy line has one toy? A pretty not-bad cartoon! My Pet Monster was a great concept, and the cartoon took that concept and...walked with it. Did they stumble? You'll have to listen to find out. Which is also what you'll have to do to find out how to pronounce Mueslix, a cereal that is aimed squarely at adults who can say the name properly.

We have a bit of a different cereal discussion this time out as we discuss whether Heartwise deserved all the legal obstacles it had to deal with based on the name and the marketing. Trust me, it's more fun than it sounds. Also fun is our cartoon, ALF Tales! See our favorite Melacians tell some earthbound stories from our past!

We're sticking with 1987 again and cartoons based on existing properties. This time, it's Hello Kitty, the international phenomenon that is still going strong today! Did the FurryTale Theatre charm us, or did we throw tomatoes? Listen and find out! But first, we discuss a cereal line that seems so obvious it's amazing it hasn't been more successful: KEEBLER COOKIES! Why do the elves not translate well to the cereal bowl? We try to eat our way to the bottom of this one.

In the 80s, Jim Henson could do no wrong. Fraggle Rock was a HUGE hit for HBO, so someone decided it would also make a great cartoon! Did it? You'll have to listen to find out. Speaking of knockoffs, Crisp Crunch was a Cap'n Crunch clone that spurred the crew to discuss other knockoff cereals that they rememeber fondly. How many of these did you see in your local grocery store?

Hey Willie! The SuperCast Crew is gonna talk about everyone's favorite cat-eating alien, Gordon Schumway, aka ALF! The animated series takes place on Melmac, and Jeff has fond memories of it. Does it hold up? You'll have to listen to find out. But first, the gang discusses Cirspy Critters cereal, which was revived in the 80s for...about a month and a half. But you probably remember the commercial. Trust us.
