## Resource

In part one of a two-part episode, Frank welcomes animators-directors Robert Marianetti and David Wachtenheim ("Hugo," "Hotel Transylvania 2," SNL's "TV Funhouse") and author-historian Jerry Beck ("The 50 Greatest Cartoons," "The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons") for a ridiculously deep dive into the best (and least memorable) Saturday morning cartoons spun off from primetime series ("The Brady Kids," "Jeannie," "The Mini-Munsters," "Star Trek: The Animated Series," etc.). Also in this episode: Filmation animates the Marx Brothers, DePatie-Freleng spoofs "All in the Family," "TV Funhouse" sends the Harlem Globetrotters back in time and Hanna-Barbera sends the Partridge Family into outer space. PLUS: "Rover Dangerfield"! The "Ed Wood of animation"! The genius of Hoyt Curtin! Joe Besser meets Luke Skywalker!? Robert and David pitch a Mad magazine series! And Jerry reveals (some of) the worst cartoons of all time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
