TV Funhouse
Series Overview
In this spin-off of the Saturday Night Live TV Funhouse cartoons, happy-go-lucky Doug hosts a children's show in the vein of Pee-wee's Playhouse, wherein he chooses a theme for the day (Caveman Day, Western Day, Spaceman Day, Mexicans Day, etc.) and encourages his puppet friends, the Anipals, to participate. Of course, the depraved felt animals are far more interested in other activities, including going to a cockfight, visiting a bordello, becoming lab tests, and even getting (literally) high on Christmas cheer!
