Heathcliff – Rebel Without a Claws

Posted 11 years ago by Television

Part of the fun of enjoying nostalgia is finding out whether stuff you once liked are “rewatchable” or not. Its great when you end up enjoying things more than you did the first time around, like Alf and Fraggle Rock for me. It’s not so great when it turns out like this.

I knew that 80s and 90s television animation was pretty horrible from a quality point of view, but I did not remember them being this bad. Everything from the writing to the sound effects and music is absolutely terrible. But, I will admit I was laughing pretty hard at how bad it was, so I guess in a way that makes it good?? Maybe?

Not so much. Heathcliff isn’t a very likable character, even though he’s voiced by Mel Blanc. And, this episode revolves around Tracer, an evil looking creature that Heathcliff says is a kitten. I think he looks more like a rabbit on meth, or maybe a Chupacabra.

I was going to further discuss this episode, but April Fools! I’m not, because I already had to watch it once, and I don’t want to watch it again. But don’t fret, you can see it in all its glory below.

What shows have you tried rewatching lately? Were you disappointed or delighted?
