Take off eh? Bob and Doug McKenzie to return in cartoon form

Posted by ChuckyG, April 29, 2008
Fans of the movie Strange Brew and SCTV will be happy to hear the duo have reunited and are going to be animated for an upcoming cartoon version of their characters. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis are going to be doing the voices as well, no lame imitations!

The Bob and Doug characters launched as a two-minute skit on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp's sketch-comedy series SCTV in 1980, in part to mock federal government rules that require the public broadcaster to air identifiably "Canadian content" in its homegrown TV shows.

I passed my driving test in 1980 and my first car gave me so much freedom. Carefree days and no worries like mortgages and things.

My son (10)wanted to be Tupac for Black History Month, my children also didn't know that Michael Jordan played basketball they thought he only made shoes. My children think that they are two Michael Jackson's, the black one and the white one. I had to explain it to them, they still don't understand. I gave up. I remember having a rainbow bright lunchbox in Kindergarten. I'm 30, will be 31 in August. My son always say "Mom did they had this/that back in the day?" I remember most of the 80's, I think it was the bast decade.
