Some of you secretly or openly loved these garbage shows the first time around -- I never did, because I'm so sales averse you couldn't even sell me the penicillin that would save my life -- and these repackagings are indulgences that let you enjoy this dumb shit all over again

Or--and I realize this might be a hot take--those shows were genuinely good at the time and you just had/have shitty taste in TV comedy? :)

I guess I did enjoy the various vintage cartoons where characters dressed in drag to trick each other, but that was more my dad's thing than mine
