ASK me: Network Interference

Another "Name Withheld" person — but I know who he is and he worked on a lot of cartoon shows back in the eighties — sent me this…

I marvel at your occasional remark that during your seven seasons of Garfield and Friends you never had any interference from the suits at CBS or even from Standards and Practices. Did you ever write a cartoon that you thought would prompt them to demand changes?

Yes. This one. And they said absolutely nothing…

The voices, by the way, were done by Gregg Berger, Thom Huge, Howard Morris, Julie Payne and Kevin Meaney. I cut a few jokes because the cartoon was running long but the network folks didn't say a word. To their credit.
