A satirical send up to the late 80s, early 90s Saturday Morning Cartoon Block. Complete with original cartoons that despite being ridiculous, adult concepts repacked for children, painfully written corporate/government PR campaigns and nothing short of a 30 minute commercial to sell you yet another piece of plastic shaped like a toy. In short exactly like how it was back in the day. The show loosely follows show hosts Skip and Trevor. The brothers act as VJs trying to pump up the audience for each new cartoon. As Skip's career suddenly takes off based entirely off a single stupid catch phrase, while leaving his brother Trevor behind. Simultaneously breaking news of a celebrity murder peppers the show. Ultimately ending once Skips ill advised live action movie of a cartoon show crashes and burns. After a fist to face, heart to heart, the brothers get back together and become the new hosts of an MTV clone, M.E.A.R.S.H (Monday Early Afternoon Rock Song Hits). Overall the show does try to evoke the feeling of the time. The picture is heavily "fuzzed" to recreate that low rez SD on a tube TV feel. The VJ segments are incredibly hammy, as they were in reality. The cartoons themselves are decently done. All of them are obviously playing off of real shows. I won't say this show is for everyone though. I suspect it relies heavily on the nostalgia factor. So viewers not from the time period likely won't get the overall "joke" of the show. Instead they'll probably find it ham fisted, somewhat schizophrenic and generally lame. The "joke" being that this IS how ridiculous Saturday Morning Cartoon Blocks were. It was adults, guessing what kids liked, pushing lame jokes as hard as they could. When they found something that worked, they'd inevitably over use it. All for the singular purpose to sell toys. This probably would have worked better if they had peppered the show with more fake commercials to complete the effect. You likely aren't missing anything if you skip this one. But if you are in the mood for a distorted trip down memory lane its a decent ride.Read more
