Look at the timing directors. Michael Lah is here. Tex Avery's animator through the 1950's and the first animator hired by Hanna-Barbera for their cartoon studio.

Must be the pilot episode of this short-lived revived DIC Animation City-Spümcø- Bob Clampett Productions “Beany & Cecil” series cause of the classic colorized footage from The early ABC Weekly Primetime & Saturday Morning tv series “Matty’s Funday Funnies with Beany & Cecil” @ 0:37. Also this episode was originally aired on KOVR • TV 13, a local ABC TV Network station in Stockton & Sacramento, CA.

[@d-manthecaptain1382]

But if John was only a producer on this, and this episode was written by Chuck Lorre, then wouldn't that just mean it's Chuck's stab at himself?

[@yosefdemby8792]

@@d-manthecaptain1382 There's a lot to unpack here. In the Golden Age of animation, cartoons were not scripted. They were written straightaway at storyboards. Now, starting in the 1960's, and throughout the 70's and 80's, was considered the Dark Age of animation. Most scripters on these crass garbage animated television shows were indifferent to animation, with ambitions to something higher in television. Chuck Lorre was one of these people. In fact, he only took this job because of a Writers' Strike! John Kricfalusi, the head director and producer on the show, called his scripts the worst in cartoon history. There were conflicts between Kricfalusi, Lorre, and the network. Either Lorre quit or was fired, and he said all his scripts were rewritten without his permission. And besides, Kricfalusi would keep adding jokes in the storyboard, where he believed a cartoon should be written. Credit goes to Thad Komorowski's book _Sick Little Monkeys: The Unauthorized Ren and Stimpy Story_ .

[@danielsrandomchannel1472]

You sure about that? Because look at 1:55.

[@ZakWolf]

I recall ABC wanted to replicate the success CBS was having with "Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures", so they ordered two Saturday morning cartoons for the 1988-89 that were inspired by that series: this from DiC, and "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" from Hanna-Barbera. DiC and the Clampett family even got John Kricfalusi and several of the "Mighty Mouse" veterans involved. Unfortunately due to executive meddling and John K.'s infamous perfectionism leading to production delays, this show didn't last very long, and "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" ended up outliving this until 1991.

[@saladfingersdirector1130]

Okay so this is basically just SpongeBob but if it was out of water a lot plus the creator of Ren and Stimpy has also worked with some of the people who worked on SpongeBob like Vincent Paul Weller and Bob camp

@@FelixSullivan Unfortunately, failing to mention him does nothing to change or prevent his misdeeds, which were unrelated to the creation of this show. John K., for better or worse, was an integral part of how this show came to be. He and Bob Clampett had stuck up a friendship before Clampett's death, and Bob's widow/Bob Clampett Prods. pushed for John K. to be one of the lead artists on this show when they were trying to get ABC to greenlight it. One wonders if this show would have been more successful had John K. not been a part of it, but to ignore his involvement is an oversight.
