It’s 70s Saturday morning animation in the trendy hot pink, orange, lime green and purple of the psychedelic era.
It’s got a lot of episodes written by TOS writers that got reworked from live action, but also some very out there original stuff. Roddenberry really pushed the writers to take advantage of the animated medium.
It’s trippy and worth your time. A couple of episodes, including Yesteryear, are S-tier.
We had one that would push the bowl or plate off the mat and into the middle of the floor.
Replaced the mat with a small plastic food service tray. Which off course proved easier to slide across the floor.
Ignoring the behaviour is the only solution, but it takes cats 2 weeks to believe any behaviour changes are real. Why did we leave to fall for patient predators as pets?
It was popular. Don’t let those brigading against the mere idea of a musical distort the facts.
Some of the review sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ended up with average scores in the 7/70% range merely because of the large number of 1/10 votes.
If you check out the vote distribution, it was a small but very vocal minority who opposed the episode on principle, who created the impression that it wasn’t well received by the fandom.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of American musicals, but I enjoyed and have certainly included it in my rewatches already.
I’m continually positively surprised how many memes here kick off more serious discussion and speculation about the shows. It’s one of the things that sucked me in.
I’m not convinced that I will ever quite have the right sense of humour to have my own original memes take off here, but you guys make me want to stretch beyond my comfort zone.
Going to be that person and suggest the OP try Voyager.
It seems to be the most accessible of the older shows for younger, newer viewers. It was the most watched of all the classic shows on Netflix.
It covers all the classic tropes and provides endless fodder for memes here.
It’s uneven throughout its entire run, but also has some of the very best episodes ever. New fans really attach to the characters, and there’s no refuting that it unabashedly leaned into the weird.
