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.

Latest Additions to Fads and Fashions of the Eighties Pages
When this site started, it was all about how people born in the 80s were freakin' everyone out, well people born in the 90s are 1000 times creepier then people born in the 80s ever were. It's just bizzare to get it around your head what those guys weren't around for or way too young to remember. Even 2000 would be nostalgia for them. Plus if you're techincally old enough to be their parent...UGGHHH. I know our parents and other older adults thought the same thing of us, and we definately gave people older then us horrified stares when they told us they were around in the 60s, but it stinks to be on the other of this. It was more fun when you were on the younger end of the generation gap and could brag about not being around "in the old days".

Cocoa Wheats
Cocoa Wheats is a chocolate flavored hot cereal, sort of like grits. It is also similar to chocolate multi meal. This cereal is very rich and yummy. You make this cereal with sugar and water or you can use sugar and milk.

Pac-Man Cereal
Similar to Lucky Charms. The cereal consisted of round Pac-Man pellets and marshmallows shapes. The marshmallows were the shapes of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and the different colored ghosts.
