When it ran on Sky one (even before BSB were gone) it certainly did have the skits. UK tv was often more concerned about axing the psas (Sonic Says, Sailor Moon's etc) than anything else.

I remember getting a promo box for the FoxBox when it started up with a CD-rom in it. Fox really pushed it hard against WB's mainstays of Pokemon and YuGiOh. There was a time in the late 90s however where ABC wss really trying to be competitive with its own programming with shows like Recess and Fillmore on their block called "One Saturday Morning" Fox and WB were huge into the M-F after school kids programming wars too

So I'm like six pages behind, but I saw that David Tennant as Scrooge has been covered, which leads me to a question. Is anyone else not a fan of major Hollywood stars doing voice acting gigs? I mean, nothing against Tennant himself, but I just dislike the idea of using star power as a hook for your show. It's one of the reasons Dreamsworks movies bugged me a lot.

I thought he had achieved geekdom fame with Doctor Who, but I've only heard of him in TV and cartoons so far. It doesn't bother me in english because Patrick Warburton is the only guy I recognize immediately anyway, but I do have a problem when it's in my native french.

Yeah, I don't think Tennant has broken full Hollywood yet. He's mostly just done TV.

To be fair, Alan Young was already pretty famous at least as far as TV goes prior to him voicing Scrooge so it's really not all that different in this case.

It's the kind of role that appears on "movies you never knew actors were in" click-bait lists. Way to go, Disney. Cashing in on that love eight year olds have for David Tennant.

He was the villain in Azkaban. Granted, it didn't amount to much total screentime but to me that signals that big name people knew who he was.

He was the son of a Ministry of Magic official, who was convicted of being one of Voldemort's Death Eaters and sent to Azkaban. Later, he brakes out, kidnaps Mad-Eye Moody, and poses as him at Hogwarts until he is found out and captured. His actual screen time is about 14 minutes, and the movie came the same year he started his run on Doctor Who. So, he had zero brand-recognition. So yeah, it is the kind of role that's significant only after you've watched him in other things and doesn't really factor into his star power at all.

You know, I never thought about it much, but the Jetsons left nowhere near as big of an impression on pop culture as the Flintstones. I guess rock puns and using dinosaurs instead of technology was way more appealing than fancy future gadgets and every problem being more trivial than your average first world problem.

Its a bit of both. There's a whole issue where they use marriage as a metaphor for gay couples until they drop it and just say "this is about gay couples"

It helps that it's written by a person who doesn't like the original Flinstones, so it's actually more digestible than you'd expect. No kissing rear end to the original show plus an actual new spin on things mixed with a good editor overseeing stuff.

It's left a subtle impression, in that you still hear that buzzing sound of the flying cars sometimes in comedic depictions of the future. But yeah, for the most part it was Silver Hawks to Flintstone's Thundercats.

If I have to live in a world where the only comic ideas that are considered for publication are the ones attached to an existing IP, I'm not going to complain about some passable commentary about modern society hidden by the set dressing of the Flinstones.

I've given half of dozen episode of Bunnicula a watch. It's very hit or miss. It's hard to put my finger on what's wrong with it. My best summation so far is that it tries to match high-paced slapstick with lots of dialogue. The delivery of the one-liners lacks oomph, it sounds like the actors are just getting through the line so they can get to the next joke. The relationship between the three main pets is something you seen before- it's the Spongebob-Patrick-Squidward dynamic all over again. Some episodes have been good though, usually the ones that lean away from one-liners.
