Garbage Pail Kids

Garbage Pail Kids was an American-Canadian cartoon series which was produced in 1987, based on the popular Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, produced and directed by Bob Hathcock and co-written and developed by Flint Dille. Due to controversy themes it never aired in the United States. However, it did air in most countries in Europe . The series stars the characters Split Kit, Elliot Mess, Terri Cloth, Patty Putty, and Clogged Duane as gross looking kids with abilities to help others. In the first two episodes, they have normal alter-egos, which transform into their "Garbage Pail" identities;... later episodes show them exclusively in their Garbage Pail looks . The show also features parodies of movies like the Indiana Jones series, Superman, and The Fly. It also has segments between stories, such as "Garbage Pail Groaners" and "Would We Lie To You?" . CBS ordered an entire season, and heavily promoted it in the run-up to the 1987-88 season.
