O Show do Sábado

Pros: Some Saturday Morning veterans voicing this series (Maurice LaMarche aka the Brain and Cree Summer aka Suzie Carmichael, little known fact: latter was also on The Care Bears Movie); dinosaur cartoon turned college drama known as Randy, Create-A-Crittles (think Care Bears in the UK), Strongimals; Lil' Bruce (spoof of Howie Mandel's underrated Bobby's World), vaporwave VHS aesthetics Cons: Uuuuuuuuh.. subs? ;)

A really well observed and skilfully produced homage to 80's and 90's Saturday morning TV ( which is sadly non existent now). Not only is it very clever and cool, it's really well written and genuinely enjoyable. It absolutely transported me back to a very happy time in life, lying in bed enjoying those wonderful cartoons. It somehow has bottled the energy, fun and optimism of that time. More art than skit. Fantastic.

Saturday Morning All-Star Hits is an adult live-action/animation show that serves as a parody of cartoons from the 80's and 90's. Hosted by Skip and Treybor (who are an obvious parody of NBC's Saturday morning cartoon block having two teens hosting), the show is basically like Comedy Central's version of TV Funhouse, complete with cartoon parodies and fake commercials. However, making this different is that the cartoons are parodies of the ones from the 1980's and 1990's (like Randy, which is a parody of Denver The Last Dinosaur, The Create-A-Crittles, which parodies Care Bears, and the Strongimals, which parodies Thundercats). This is a good adult cartoon series, with some good voice actors (like Kyle Mooney, Cree Summer, Frank Welker, and even Eric Bauza and Kevin Michael Richardson), and the cartoons and fake commercials are well done. If there's one thing I wish they can improve on, it's the Skip and Trybor segments, as they seem to be too generic and out of place among the cartoon carnage (although one episode, DANGER, makes fun of the horribly bad Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue, especially the messed up moments). And best of all, the cartoons are all tied to one specific plot, as are the live action scenes. This is one show worth giving a try if you are into parodies and want to relive the glory days of childhood (only in adult form).

If you've been a fan of Kyle Mooney since even before his SNL years, you'll love SMASH. Mooney perfectly encapsulates his brand of comedy in this show and you won't be disappointed.

The Create-A-Crittles are perfect. Randy is a real joy to watch. And it was heartwrenching to see Lil' Bruce get canceled.

The Strongimals and Pro Bros didn't work for me. The Live-Action Scenes were great though. Keep it up Kyle.
