With Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons, nee What a Cartoon!, for every Powerpuff Girls or Johnny Bravo, there were clunkers like Sledgehammer Opossum, whose creator, Patrick Ventura, managed to get 2 shorts on the air.
Actor T. K. Carter (ex-Good Morning, Miss Bliss) voices Sledgehammer, who's looking for a warm place to spend the night, but.....he picks a mailbox?
It's easy to see why this didn't go to series. Sledgehammer lost me within a couple of minutes on the plot alone.
Rating: C-.

In case you haven’t guessed, Pat Ventura was influenced by Tex Avery - one of his What A Cartoon projects was his take on George and Junior (which also consisted of two shorts). I think of Sledgehammer Opossum as his answer to Screwy Squirrel.
And a bad one at that.
