Animation Damnation - The Jetsons
Added 2020-05-28 01:39:57 +0000 UTCOn this month's AD the gang is chatting about the classic animated sitcom, The Jetsons! The episode in question, "The Little Man," originally aired January 13th, 1963 and features George committing corporate espionage for Mr. Spacely, Elroy losing all respect for his father, and multiple people being shrunk down to a six inches tall! PLUS: It's uh.... GIANT WOMAN!

2022-11-20 18:58:05 +0000 UTCI would definitely like to see you do Rayman the Animated Series, which is available for free on YouTube. All four episodes...

2020-06-23 00:46:14 +0000 UTCIt was shown in Costa Rica! And to be fair, since theyre in the US, they might want to be feisty and not do it.

2020-06-18 06:58:26 +0000 UTCGiven that you've done Gumby, which has an audience of the US and nowhere else, I think you can make it up to us with a programme that was on in the UK and nowhere else: The Flumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQtJvP6XWd0 This was a formative part of my childhood, and I'd love to see what you make of it.

2020-06-10 21:09:22 +0000 UTCFish Police. It is a crap show, but it had Tim Curry, John Ritter, Ed Asner, and, of course, Frank Welker. Plenty of bits to “fish out” in this one.
Jacob Nelson
2020-06-06 22:19:39 +0000 UTCI would definitely love to see a month of just animated movies - besides the ones you yourselves suggested in the episode, I would also recommend "Cool World." And to tie it in, your WLM for the month could be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" You've mentioned it enough times as a movie done right that it probably is due for its moment in your spotlight.

2020-06-06 15:39:06 +0000 UTCPlease do Gargoyles for June AD! Season 01 Episode 08 - A very special episode in which a main character gets shot and almost killed in a Disney kids' show!! Also the cast includes tons of Star Trek TNG alum: Frakes, Sirtis, Dorn, and more! Not to mention the sultry Keith David...
Mick
2020-06-04 02:33:53 +0000 UTCYou guys gotta do Captain Planet, not sure if you have before but I’d love to hear that! If I can recommend an episode it would be Season 3-Episode 10-Hog Tide.
Ryan Snyder
2020-06-02 16:16:11 +0000 UTCI second the anime recommendation. I suggest Trigun because there is a GIANT WOMAN episode
Sarah Wiley
2020-06-01 12:24:26 +0000 UTCI could definitely listen to more G. I. Joe episodes. The ones you have already done made me see how insane that show really was.

2020-05-31 00:01:32 +0000 UTCDo an anime like Cowboy Bebop. It's on Hulu.
Christopher Totten
2020-05-30 23:58:04 +0000 UTCI personally think you should return to the original Transformers cartoon, but you should do an Optimus Prime focused episode since the previous ones were Prime-lite. You don't get much more Prime-heavy than Season 2, Episode 34: "Prime Target". IMO it's Optimus Prime at his most awesome. It has good action, it's quotable and a truly goofy villain in Lord Chumley, a big game hunter who wants Optimus as his latest trophy. You will never see Prime as pissed is he than when he's dealing with Chumley, not even with Megatron (AKA Robot Stalin). Hope you give my suggestion weight.

2020-05-29 23:26:18 +0000 UTCYou really have to do the Alf cartoon now.
John Kinsella
2020-05-29 23:14:44 +0000 UTCAn animated movie month would be great. It would provide the perfect opportunity to cover Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for We Love Movies!
Leo Reyna
2020-05-29 17:59:37 +0000 UTCCowboys of Moo-Mesa and the Laverne & Shirley (they’re in the army!) and Fonzie (he’s in space because of a space chick but also appears to be at the Salem witch trials?) are on YouTube. All pretty bonkers.
Boots Century
2020-05-29 14:57:53 +0000 UTCoh man a Doug one would be good. Recently did a rewatch and there a good # of AD worthy episodes
Frank Grimes
2020-05-29 13:28:56 +0000 UTCThanks so much for the laughs over the years and especially the past 8 f’ing weeks! 1. Full Roger Rabbit WLM episode 2. Doug 3. Old ass Mickey Mouse 4. Looney Toons 5. Rugrats 6. Ren and Stimpy 7. Hey Arnold! 8. Dino-Riders 9. Scooby-Doo 10. Tom and Jerry Honorable Mention: The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show (so sexy, so horny)
Graham Trainor
2020-05-29 12:13:03 +0000 UTCUlysses 31, a French/Japanese version of Homer’s Odyssey set in outer space made in the era when Star Wars and disco were the two biggest things on the planet. Best kids cartoon ever and I believe all episodes are on YouTube. The intro and it’s power pop theme song are spectacular.
Anthony Simon
2020-05-29 11:27:31 +0000 UTCif you guys can find a decent cut of an episode of Fillmore! then definitely do it, it's right up your alley
TJ Guiney
2020-05-29 06:02:46 +0000 UTCI love the idea of you guys doing a month of animated movies. Check out Rock N Rule. It's really bad. Also, loving Melro90210, btw, it's a delight.
Convincing John
2020-05-29 05:53:35 +0000 UTCScooby doo mystery inc from a few years back. Teenage Fred gets caught looking at a “trap” magazine centerfold as if it’s porn in one of the episodes...it’s literally just a magazine about traps to catch monsters in. Lewis black voices the over arching season 1 villain “Mr. E”, Matthew Lillard back as shaggy. Pretty decent show.
Eric McNamee
2020-05-29 02:12:24 +0000 UTCWould be down for a animnation month and you should check out the Pat Robertson financed anime Superbook.
Ethan Poe
2020-05-29 00:40:34 +0000 UTCLOVED Tailspin!! That catchy intro song ..

2020-05-29 00:17:17 +0000 UTCAnimation month would be great. Also for next month would love an episode on Biker Mice From Mars.

2020-05-28 21:26:56 +0000 UTCit's a movie, but an AD you could do is the Tom & Jerry meets Willy Wonka. It literally just steals the Wilder version and inserts T&J. It's a glorious disaster
Frank Grimes
2020-05-28 19:09:05 +0000 UTC“We Hate Movies: The Animated Series”? You gotta do it!
Kevin Hagaman
2020-05-28 18:44:11 +0000 UTCAnd a suggestion for an animated WLM: Batman - Mask of the Phantasm
Felipe Sobreiro
2020-05-28 18:16:24 +0000 UTCPlease do an Animation DamnMONTHion! You can cover a couple of Star Trek Animateds for THE NEXUS, focus on a cartoon character for the GLEEP GLOSSARY and even do some Bakshi (Cool World, Fritz the Cat, there's a bunch) as a SIDE ORDER OF SLEAZE
Felipe Sobreiro
2020-05-28 18:14:58 +0000 UTC"The Iron Giant" is a good WLM, "Into the Spider-verse" is also a good pick imho

2020-05-28 16:29:12 +0000 UTCThe opening (Rock and Roll All Night) is even better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWgPSxJdXY

2020-05-28 15:09:06 +0000 UTCSuggestion for next month's Animation Damnation: Bravestarr episode 26 - The Price. Only cartoon episode I can think of that has a kid dying from an overdose.
Bill Williams
2020-05-28 14:52:43 +0000 UTCI'd love an all animation month! The new Mortal Kombat movie could beca palate cleanser for the guys. It's pretty brutal. Maybe The Iron Giant for a WLM episode?
Bill Williams
2020-05-28 14:42:25 +0000 UTCkeep the HB train rolling with Johnny Quest!

2020-05-28 13:48:42 +0000 UTCMy sons love Scooby Doo so I seen both of the WWE Scooby Doo crossovers. Steve is right, these guys are not voice actors. On a bit of a tangent here but there is also a Scooby Doo/KISS cross over that feature and extended music montage of KISS singing Detroit Rock City whole the Scooby gang get into Jack Kirby inspired space ship chase with a big giant head. See the link below. https://youtu.be/18635I-x9WY
Dan sulin
2020-05-28 13:45:37 +0000 UTCBeverly Hills Teens! It would pair well with the 90210 shows and there is an episode called Robot Romance.
tmaccurt79
2020-05-28 12:30:51 +0000 UTCGreat episode guys! If I could suggest just a terrible series that aired in the early 90's, I would suggest The Little Mermaid episode 3: Urchin. It's on Disney + (which is where we found it, thanks to our 4 year-old) and it's got everything you could hope for. From mobsters to phoned in terrible songs to a dad letting his daughter fight crabs without any concern. It's truly terrible in the best way, I feel for whoever had to stick their name on this project.
Anthony Bjørn Green
2020-05-28 12:27:50 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know the name of the Jetson's episode in which George turns a robot at work into an alcoholic and gambling addict? I think the robot was called Uni-Vac or something similar.
Harry Squier
2020-05-28 12:23:39 +0000 UTCWatching this before listening. Competing billionaires, trade wars, GIANT WOMEN. This is going to be good. +1 on Scooby Doo Meet KISS btw, it's craazy.
Andy Ward
2020-05-28 10:36:49 +0000 UTCAll that talk of Vince Mcmann meeting Scooby Doo reminds me of the time Scooby Doo met KISS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooby-Doo!_and_Kiss:_Rock_and_Roll_Mystery. I would absolutely love to see you review this 'film'. Halfway through it turns into something amazingly psychedelic.
Simon Spichak
2020-05-28 09:36:33 +0000 UTCI would love to see you guys have another go at Speed Racer.
Bryn
2020-05-28 09:09:36 +0000 UTCHey, Guys: I went through your entire AD catalog & it appears you've never covered "Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers". As the entire series is available on Disney+, I'd like to suggest Ep. 22 from S1: THE CASE OF THE COLA CULT. Literally, it deals with a cult similar to Scientology. Wholly inappropriate but highly recommended for WHM's AD!!!
Cody Downs
2020-05-28 06:55:35 +0000 UTCI would highly recommend scamper the penguin. It's a Soviet/japanese 80's cartoon that features animal poachers killing a bunch of singing penguins.
William Richardson
2020-05-28 06:28:25 +0000 UTCI wish the ending was like an extended 30 seconds longer version so I can rock out to it more lol
Tyler the Destroyer
2020-05-28 05:24:07 +0000 UTCYou guys did the JETSONS so may I suggest the flintstones season 3 episodes Ventriloquist Barney! It’s a really funny episode that has such dated humor that I would love to hear you guys pull that apart And there is such a terrible sexist joke that Barney makes directly to Wilma and she just laughs it had me stunned watching it in 2017

Paul
2020-05-28 05:09:05 +0000 UTCThere was this cartoon I watched called C.O.P.S where cops are fighting crime in the future. In one episode called "The Case of the Lowest Crime,” there is a drug dealer named Addictem selling a drug called Crystal Twyst. The main villains end up teaming up with the cops to take down the drug dealer. Here is the Youtube link to the episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtdifpdnCAQ and you can stream the show for free on the Tubi App

2020-05-28 05:01:16 +0000 UTCHow about “Scoob!”?
Paul
2020-05-28 04:56:09 +0000 UTCJust throwing out a suggestion for June...Ren and Stimpy? The cartoon that grossed out every adult in the 90s and made me insta-cool in elementary school for knowing the lyrics for LOG (it’s better than bad, it’s good!)
Fernando Rodriguez
2020-05-28 04:55:49 +0000 UTCChip n Dale Rescue Rangers, episode about the Coo-Coo Cola cult. https://youtu.be/jyOBXnfg1Wk
Paul
2020-05-28 04:54:10 +0000 UTCThis year is the 20th anniversary of the Jetsons movie. Saw it earlier this year and its mostly good, but really generic kids 90's movie. Watch it for the innovative animation.
Matt Eldritch
2020-05-28 03:40:00 +0000 UTCI recommend the eye–popping Bravestar episode "The Price." It starts with space miners addicted to "Spin," a drug which makes them see spiders everywhere. It ends with the death of a child at the hands of a drug–dealing dingo. It's like Filmation tried to remake "Panic in Needle Park." You can see it on the official Bravestar Youtube channel, though it's without the opening credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d2cNArHoKA

2020-05-28 03:18:04 +0000 UTCI'd love for them to do an episode of the British 90's cartoon The Dreamstone. Amazing soundtrack, a fun cast of crazy characters and Zordak as the Lord of Nightmares is an ineffective but terrifying villain.
