What an awful show for the Disney afternoon just the worst of the worst show ever in history made by Toon Disney terrible this show is just a piece of scrapped rubbish who came with the idea of making it back in 1995.
When I looked at this show, the only thing I could see was that it was a combination of both Tom and Jerry(The violence) and Ren and Stimpy(The gross out humor), but without the charm or humor of either. The animation was passable at best, but at worst, it was boring. Most of what happens is attempted slapstick humor that doesn't qualify at being slapstick. The characters also resemble Ren and Stimpy, but with reversed personalities, and yet, I couldn't give a damn about either of them. The lack of stakes or tension also leaves the plot of each episode nothing to get invested in. At least in Tom and Jerry, Tom would be punished greatly if Jerry destroyed the house, but in one episode, Shnookums and Meat can be seen destroying a house without no consequence coming as a result...that's boring. Ren and Stimpy excelled with its over the top animation and gross out humor, but this show was too scared to go anywhere near Ren and Stimpy's level, mostly because this was a Disney show. Seeing as Disney hardly if ever took risks or pushed boundaries like the two shows mentioned, it's no wonder it was pretty boring.
There is no point in making a gross out or violent show if you are too scared to go above and beyond with those themes, obviously Disney didn't do so with this show.

I don't recall much anymore from the few episodes that I caught - and I know there were only 13 or so - but this is MUCH better than the "Garfield And Friends" show (...) that the so-called "coolguy" here was eagerly awaiting way back then!
It is, if memory serves me right, also less crude than the Ren & Stimpys or Beavis & Buttheads of the day... and a whole lot more intelligent fare than the Itchy & Scratchy portions of the Simpsons! As for any "connection" to Tom & Jerry... sheesh... T&J were BORING - this was not!
None of you guys noted that Shnookums & Meat = S&M! The show is RIFE with hidden meaning! NO OTHER TOON made recently compares to it - not Cowardly Dog, CatDog, Grim Adventures of (I forget their names!) and the rest! The cat & dog duo was priceless. The super-hero parody was priceless (I mostly remember the "Superwaterbuffalo-oooooh" baritone voice... *lol*) and the Western serial send-up was priceless too!
And another thing none of you guys underlined... this was directed by SETH McFARLANE! It led to FAMILY GUY! It was, in effect, his stepping stone! Personally, I can't stand Family Guy (or King of the Hill... or The Simpsons themselves!). But if THIS SHOW was resurrected - I would want to WRITE FOR IT!
Shnookums and Meat... Action League Now!... Futurama... those are the few toons I have liked - ever! All short runs... all under-appreciated... and all innovative! (And all three with more potential for longer runs than The Tick or Earthworm Jim - IMHO!) "S&M" (*lol*) may have been shunned by both Disney fans and the opposite breed of fans (...) but it found the audience it was worthy of in Canada - as it was the main piece, week after week, of a Saturday morning line-up on the CTV network... Goes to show that someone"s "trash" is another's treasure... hmm?

Personally i hated the part of the show with the dog and the cat. It was too much of a cartoon cliché. We'd already seen enough Cat&Mouse or Dog&Cat rivalry's in cartoons. This show pushed the limit as far as grossness. Sometimes it was too gross even for me as a kid to watch. But it was directed by Seth MacFarlane, what can you expect...
However, I loved the other short cartoons on this show. "Pith Possum: Superdynamic Possum of Tomorrow!". Hilarious!! I'll never forget that stupid possum superhero. He cracked me up.
Even more hilarious was that stupid cowboy cartoon. I can't even recall what exactly it was called, "Tex Tinstar" I believe. Stupid, but funny. The possum one was no doubt the best on the show.
I give it a 6/10 but only because of the possum/superman parody...

This cartoon was and still would be very good. Its too bad its not on the air anymore. It was just pretty off the wall, violent comedy. I'll admit its not for everyone but if you like itchy and scratchy on The Simpsons, you'll enjoy this show as well. One episode had Shnookums and Meat getting brain power from some liquid formula and their brains got as big as a tank at one point! The violent battle of brains was unforgettable, not to mention unique since no other cartoon thought of that before!
Lo sapevi?
- QuizA canned SpaghettiOs pasta meal from Franco-American (a division of Campbell's) featuring pasta modeled after the characters Shnookums and Meat was produced as a tie-in product. In a surreal note, the label had a disclaimer stating that the product itself contained no meat, but the "meat" referred to on the label was the character "Meat" (although it was also available with meatballs, which did, obviously, contain meat).
