Garbage Pail Kids (1988)
THIS is what parents were so up and arms about?????????

For years, this has been the holy grail for Saturday Morning cartoon addicts like myself. After finally seeing an episode on Youtube, all I can say is, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE BIG DEAL! If these parent groups actually watched the damned show, they'd see that it was about as offensive as "The Get Along Gang". And it's no where near as awful as the movie!!!!!
The show is pretty damned light weight. The thing that made the trading cards so much fun was that they were taboo. They were the kind of gross out humor that adults hate, and therefore, kids love. Not since Jay North played "Dennis The Menace" did network executives so miss the point.
