First of all, I had “Maxie’s World” nicely repressed, and now that “Doozy Bots” has been brought up, mention must be made of The Saban Nightmare:

But none of those get my vote. There are several shows I could pick (”Caillou”, “Fraidy Cat”, “The Little Clowns of Happy Town” [just the title should be enough], “Dino Squad”, dare I even unearth “Loonatics” and the 60’s “groovy” Looney Tunes shorts?) But since “The Littles” (really? Worst cartoon *ever*?) sets our standard, I will vote for this show. This is but a taste, but you can see where there are some fans of the band who are wondering if this wasn’t an elaborate *parody* of cartoons based upon real people:

My husband in some nostalgic fit bought the complete series of Ghostbusters. And it’s not the cool Ghostbuster with Slimer and Annie Potts.

In this episode the climax involves a special mummy, a car wash, and a suppository faced car being driven by a gorilla. These Ghostbusters save our precious precious oil from the differently abled mummy. Yay oil and car washes in Egypt!

The only cartoon that I can think of is that Super Jail show on Cartoon Network. The premiere episode was so bad that I stopped watching Adult Swim, for I had lost faith in the programing block.

Another cartoon that I think is the “worst ever” would be any japanese cartoon featuring characters battling with cards or small animals.

Not sure if this qualifies, but it would feel remiss of me if I didn’t at least point it out.

Most anime fans recognize Sunrise’s legendary brand that is Gundam. Well, back in 1991, long before Bandai started releasing the more well-known series in the US, Sunrise attempted to introduce the US to Gundam through a series based on their SD Gundam characters. The result is an abomination that never was: The Doozy Bots.

All that exists of the show is this short pilot, but it’s packed with awfulness, from the stereotypes plaguing the main characters to the annoying minor character to the hilariously bad writing: “These misguided robots had to be stopped before they carried out their mission to build an army and rob the world of fun!”

Needless to say, the series was never picked up.

Rubik the Amazing Cube. Horrifying. So, Rubik is an anthropomorphic Rubik’s Cube that has magical powers. We don’t know where he came from; he escaped from a truck in a gypsy’s covered wagon.

At least once an episode, his colors would get jumbled, thus rendering him powerless. One of his kid friends would have to solve him again so he could use his magic.

Oh, and Menudo performed the theme song.

To be honest, much of the Saturday morning offerings, especially on ABC, are pretty awful/bizarre (Turbo Teen comes to mind)…

Holy shit, I have to see that. I mean, the Three Stooges cartoon was bad enough with those live action segues starring Curly Jo.

Additional:

I should probably add that I didn’t get it then, but do get it now: These were not meant to be the real stooges. They were fully robotic. Androids. Mechanoids. What-have-you.

But in 1979, all I saw was Larry laying on a conveyer belt, dead to the world, with electronic parts being shoved into his body. Despite the voice over, I didn’t believe that they were “just” robots.

So while my original ideas were wrong, one could hardly blame a kid for thinking it.
