Score One For The Lower 48!! Bob & Doug MacKenzie Cartoon Takes Off For Fox Network, Eh??
I am – Hercules!!
It looks like the Bob & Doug MacKenzie cartoon being produced for Canada’s Global TV network has found a U.S. home in the animation-friendly Fox Network.
The 13-episode series, based on the beer-swilling Great White North characters created for “SCTV,” will reunite the voices of Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis. The pair earlier spun the characters off into a (hilarious) 1983 big-screen comedy titled “Strange Brew.”

That is all.

Damn, that movie's good for a chuckle.
-
I predict.
-
I used to use that to "test" hi-fi systems back then in the stores, once and awhile people would recognize it. Had to love the Geddy Lee bit, too. Ergo, I'll watch the cartoon :D
-
a beer
-
as long as Red Green has anything to say about it!
-
He has a powerful thirst for the hops as well.
-
I remember it being vaguely disappointing. How old was Herc in 1983 anyway? Ten?
-
The Simpsons; King of the Hill; Family Guy; American Dad; The Cleveland Show; Sit Down, Shut Up; the Bob & Doug Mackenzie cartoon; I still think that Pitts animated reboot is waiting in the shadows, ready to ambush us...
-
...but if you don't like Strange Brew, you probably don't belong here. It's kind of a nerd cred litmus test.

PERIOD

two turtlenecks and a beer (there should be more there...).
Just keeping it alive chrth. Best. X-mas carol. Ever. -
In my mind it does. Haven't seen it in a minute though. My father used to show it when he taught Hamlet to high school seniors. That's some good teachin'.
-
Geddy Lee's voice is still stuck in my head. "TAKE OFF!"
-
It was in grade 9 and the older kids told me too. Was worth it though, it was the Gym coach, football was big, crew cut ect... real Lynard Skinard type thing.
-
FOX is really gonna have their work cut out for them next season, that's a lot of shows to cancel.
-
Two bowls of split plea soup to go, eh.
Man I hope they bring something fresh to the Great White North, that movie was so quotable. There's no way I'll crash this, this is a beer truck, eh! -
I loved Bob & Doug. I loved Strange Brew. But this cartoon isn't going to be funny... looks too cheap.
-
It will air Sunday nights, presumably, after football games. Which means "we now return to our regularly scheduled program already in progress followed by local news" so pretty much 8 minutes of the show and four minutes of commercials followed by cancellation for low ratings.
-
Koooo doo koo koo koo koo Koo KOO KOO!!
-
I think I used to know Strange Brew word for word. Max Von Sydow, eh? "I could CRUSH your HEAD. Like a NUT. But I WON'T. Because I NEED YOU."
-
I'm australian, but I can tell you right now, as long as Trailer Park Boys exists, canada will always be renowned for having funny people.
-
Snowpuff, I was nine, and I watched this, SCTV and Star Wars religiously, as well as listening to Bob & Ray. But what does a nine year old know about funny...
