This show had talented actors (Jim Carrey, Jack Gilford, Jay Tarses, Don Messick, etc.) and an interesting premise (life behind the scenes of an eccentric cartoon factory). But it never quite clicked...the writing was mediocre, and the network never gave it a chance to develop into the decent show it might've become. In a way, it was a show ahead of its time -- with the '90s animation boom, perhaps this would've drawn a bigger initial audience and the show would've had time to find itself. For animation fans, though, it was a rare chance to see longtime voice-over artists such as Messick, Janet Waldo and Bill Scott. And, of course, there was Carrey -- only 22 at the time -- who might've had more opportunity to showcase his wackiness had the show continued.
