Monster Tails was the other animated component of the short-lived Wake, Rattle, & Roll 30 years ago. These monsters are meant to be the pets of the familiar ghouls (i.e. Dracula). When you're only given 5-6 minutes per short, 5 days a week, you need to make a good first impression. Since the series was cancelled, with rerun rights granted to a then-premium Disney Channel, you can imagine that they didn't, even with talent like Charlie Adler (Tiny Toon Adventures) and Jonathan Winters (ex-Smurfs, Mork & Mindy).
In "New Corpses on The Slab", Igor, Jr. (Adler), shut out of getting tickets to see The Graveyard Gang in concert, creates his own band (a parody of New Kids on The Block, who had their own show on ABC that same year).
I think viewers took one look at Igor, Jr., a nerdy hunchback, and said, thanks, but no thanks.
Rating: B-.
