There are incredibly stupid cartoons on prime time television now that are so loved by the childish twenty something's of this generation. Today I want to remember a real bad attempt to translate a popular television program into a cartoon. One of the worse attempts was the creation of The Dukes of Hazzard cartoon series. I have seen this a few times and it is really shameful to watch especially if you were a fan of the television program. I thought it would be cool to see the General Lee jump even higher or to see Daisy and her cousins in animation but after watching a few episodes I can see why the cartoon never caught on with the youth. 
Kids learned right away the voices were the same but the material was so dumbed down as compared to the television program which many of the same audience of kids in the eighties watched. How the networks or fools that produced this thought that a Saturday animation imitation of this awesome television program would succeed is beyond wonderment. Whoever drew this cartoon obviously must of not turned the program or studied Roscoe and Cleatus as they look nothing like the television versions and the artist even could not draw a basset hound appropriately. They did a Christmas version of the Charles Dickens classic Scrooge and it was just plain awful. They should just never make cartoons from old great movies or television programs no matter how desperate for cartoons although these days they are more geared for adults in prime time than kids on the weekends.
