I have had images of this show engraved in my head since I was practically a baby and I couldn't for the life of me find what it was called. All I remembered was the contrast of the live-action main character and the animation that accompanied him. It took 26 years for me to find this again.

Same here, but I actually remember this from when it aired on Saturday mornings in the late 1980s. It's the kind of show that stays with you, yet makes you think you dreamt it up during a really bad childhood flu. Thank God the Internet proved that this show, Gravedale High (which I never knew was actually called "Rick Moranis in 'Gravedale High'"), Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, Camp Candy, and Pee Wee's Playhouse existed, even if some don't hold up so well now.

Talk about pure GOLD! Is this a real show? I love RARE shows like this. I wish The Hub, or Cartoon Network would focus on getting blocks of these to air on Saturday & Sunday Mornings. Imagine the ratings they could get. All of us retro fans now have kids, nephews, young cousins. We would watch it, then also get the kids in our family to watch it. Networks would make money on shows they don't even pay to produce now. Why can't they get that in their heads? Thumbs this up, and spread the idea.

It came on in 1988 and only lasted a few months due to low ratings and a really long Writers' Guild of America strike that happened around that time. It's the only time a Saturday Night Live character has had his own kids' cartoon (there was also the Coneheads, but that was never made into a real series. It was just an animated pilot).

Count Floyd (Joe Flaherty) also premiered on SCTV along with Rick Moranis of Gravedale High and John Candy of Camp Candy. There was also a Bob & Doug MacKenzie cartoon, but while Dave Thomas reprised his role as Doug, Dave Coulier of Full House provided the voice of Rick Moranis' Bob MacKenzie.

Animation Bliss! You're not wrong. Given that Hanna-Barbera produced this in 1988--right at the height of _Pee-Wee's_ popularity--you could almost say that _Ed Grimley_ was NBC's attempt at stealing CBS' thunder (CBS, of course, had _Playhouse_, whose big draw was that it was a live-action series in a cartoon-dominated world).

This cartoon aired whilst I was a Sophomore/Junior in high school, and I religiously watched it every weekend, out here in the suburbs of the South Puget Sound, in the PNW. I haven't seen the series or even the intro since around that time, now well over three decades ago. I've been going through quite a bit of binge viewing of SCTV segments and episodes as of late, so it was bound that this would also appear in my suggested feed. Aside from both of my maternal grandparents passing within 7 months of each other between the summer of '88 and early '89, and my questioning of a lot of things that I still haven't found any answers to, it was a far better time to be alive than this 21st century has turned out to be - which jumped into the toilet within its first two years, and has been absolute shite.

It's DVD-R format which is WHY I won't buy it. It's cheap media guaranteed to decay with 10 years unless you back it up on MUCH better archival media like stone disc DVD-R's which will last up to 20 years minimum; they're saying archival quality (lifetime) but I'm not so sure about THAT. I'm serious -- if you buy anything on DVD-R, you'll want to back it up ASAP because it WILL go bad within 10 years. It's pathetic that well cared for VHS tapes will outlast DVD-R media but I'm finding that to be the case as I find more and more of my DVD-R videos just won't play all the way through after the last time I played them 5-7 years ago because they've rotted in spite of the fact I keep them out of direct sunlight AND air-conditioned. It's a losing war with DVD-R... That's something I hate about both Warner Archives and Sony Archives. They manufacture their low print run movies on horrible -R media that is VERY unstable no matter the brand name (except M discs allegedly). They could STILL afford to print these movies on PRESSED DVDs and Blu rays but won't do that much in an effort to pinch a few pennies. Speaks volumes about their opinion of the consumer! Furthermore, I think there are enough SCTV and Martin Short fans that they COULD have done a PRESSED disk (normal DVD) run of the Ed Grimley animated series with decent extras from Martin Short and the cast not to mention all the promos and commercials announcing the series. It's amazing to me they never promoted the fact that this show was a literal reunion of a bunch of SCTV talent! You have the voices of (confirmed) Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, and (probably) Andrea Martin! That's virtually everybody except John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Harold Ramis that was part of those guys' runs on SCTV!

Remember when I watched Betty Boop's Hollywood Mystery on KZfaq in honor of its 35th anniversary this year? Well, since Betty Boop's Hollywood Mystery was released in 1989, The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley ran for only one season with 13 episodes the year before in 1988. So The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley, from 1988, and Betty Boop's Hollywood Mystery, from 1989, were both animated by the now-defunct Colossal Pictures. Does that make sense or what?
