The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show is an animated television series, created by Walt Disney Television in 1993 as a spin-off of the show Raw Toonage.

[edit] Premise

This animated series actually follows three different cartoon scenarios along with a few other segments.

[edit] Schnookums and Meat!

This involves a dumb pair of animals: Schnookums the cat and Meat the dog. The sequence mentioned in the title was about a cat named Schnookums and a dog named Meat who did not get along very well.

[edit] Pith Possum: Super Dynamic Possum of Tomorrow

A spoof of the Tim Burton's Batman, with Pith Possum and his sidekick Obediah the Wonder Raccoon fighting crime in Possum City.

[edit] Tex Tinstar: The Best in the West

A parody of Western serials, involving the title character, a cowboy, and his team, who always get into trouble. The end of each episode ends in a cliffhanger for next week, not unlike the serials or "Rocky and Bullwinkle".

[edit] Production

It was the first animated television series by Disney to not use a traditional "Disney" style & a more twisted styles such as Ren & Stimpy.

Schnookums and Meat was created and written by Bill Kopp and directed by Jeff DeGrandis, who also created Toonsylvania and Mad Jack the Pirate. He was the voice of Eek! the Cat and Yuckie Duck from The What-A-Cartoon! Show. Other voice actors on Schnookums and Meat included Jeff Glen Bennett (of Johnny Bravo fame, as the voice of Tex Tinstar) and Brad Garrett (from the television sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond).
