I couldnt wait to get this for the grandkids. Cartoons today are crap. I grew up watching this on Saturday mornings and believe it or not my son remembered this one. There were more cartoons on when at least my 2 boys were young. My daughter wasn't as lucky. Anyway if you grew up with and loved Saturday morning cartoons this will take you back and I still laugh while watching it
As with all children's cartoons viewed later in life, a little of GRUMP goes a long way and the music is annoying. Watch it as it was broadcast, one episode per week. But the artwork is fantastic--imagine a composite of Dr. Seuss, Jules Feiffer, and Palmer Brown (who wrote and illustrated a wonderful now-hard-to-find book called BEYOND THE PAWPAW TREES.) The stories are (of course) childish, but also clever like the Oz books, featuring a "Blabbermouth" who was vaccinated with a phonograph needle, a community of talking shoes (including a swamp full of dangerous genuine alligator shoes), a pet with a detachable nose, and the title character, the Grump himself, a crafty wizard who talks and behaves more or less like the rural degenerates in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (edited for kids of course).
