It seemed as though Total Television was content with just having Klondike arrest Savoir in every episode, rather than find other miscreants for him to track down. As I said, this was meant to be a parody, but the joke got old real quick.
Worse, each short, including intro, lasted barely 5 minutes. Today, cable networks waste as much as 5:00 on repetitive commercials while editing classic toons to death. A revival now would require Klondike needing to find other, more dangerous crooks, and using his wits.

Yeah I remember this. It was ok, but as you mentioned, it was a one trick pony and the entire affair being boring. The best part though was it encouraged me to take French in JR High.
ReplyDeleteI was going to take French myself, since I'm 1/4 French on my late father's side of the family, but then I transferred to a private academy before my freshman year, and that went out the door.
ReplyDeleteIt's exhibit A on how not to do a parody.
