Cartoon Chronicles: Teen Sleuth Toons: #4
Before I get back into the Cartoon Chronicles, I have quizzes!!
How to make a ManicWebb |
Ingredients: 5 parts intelligence 1 part crazyiness 3 parts leadership |
Method: Add to a cocktail shaker and mix vigorously. Add caring to taste! Do not overindulge! |
In the words of Coupling's Oliver Morris... "Craziness!"
Before you ask, yes. Deshun really is my middle name.
Now that those quizzes are out of the way...
Goober and the Ghost-Chasers
The Partridge Family... Teen Sleuths... An Invisible Dog? Once again, "craziness!"
Alright, here's the scenario. Three teens (Ted, Tina, and Gilly) write a magazine called "Ghost Chasers." Their mag is for fans of the unknown, and most of their articles involve them investigating paranormal activity. Think of the X-Files, sorta. Anyway, Goober is their pet dog, who has the ability to turn invisible when scared. Seriously. The dog wasn't dead or anything, but it turned invisible-- leaving only a floating dog collar in sight.
So where do the Partridges come in? Well, 4 of the kids from the popular TV series The Partridge Family (you know, that family that played music and toured around in a bus) make frequent appearances on this show. This includes Danny Bonaduce as Danny Partridge, Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge, and those two little Partridges who never got any lines and were overshadowed by the teen hearthrobs and redheaded Danny. For no reason beyond a sad ratings ploy, every Partridge except the mom and oldest son showed up and helped these pseudo-journalists take pictures of weird supernatural happenings.
Oh yeah, and Goober doesn't talk. He talks to himself, but it looks like none of the humans can understand him. Sorta like the babies on Rugrats.
Would I recommend it? Maybe. Goober had quite a few observations, and this is the type of show you could watch if you're a fan of Susan Dey or Danny Bonaduce. Granted, you're only hearing their voices. Plus the Partridges did get their own animated series soon after.
Next Time: Jabberjaw. A talking shark... and he won't shut-up!
Much Love |
