Of all the "lesser known" cartoons, this one is the most memorable, and my personal favorite.
Wouldn't you love to have a parade come by your house from time to time? Not if you're the couple in this wonderful animated gem, who's house it not only on the parade route, but very close to a pothole which causes the sanitation truck at the end of the parade to lose it's garbage...Right on their house! So, our hero goes to the office to complain and hopefully get the parade to use another street. After a few trips, and a few hilarious performances of "ra-ta-ta-tum" (my favorite part), he and his wife think their woes are at an end...But are they?
I haven't seen this cartoon in over 20 years, and I can only hope that Cartoon Network, or Boomerang decide to show it again. I've heard it called a Cult Classic by some animation buffs, and I think that's a well deserved title.
