Mother Goose and Grimm

Mother Goose and Grimm is a 1991 American animated television series. It was created by Mike Peters and based on the comic strip of the same title. Co-production was done by Film Roman, Tribune Media Services, Grimmy Inc., Lee Mendelson Productions, MGM Television, and MGM-Pathe Communications.

Plot
The days in the life is spent with a yellow dog named Grimmy, who has various misadventures in a nursery rhyme and fairy tale-themed world. He lives in a shoe-house with his owner, Mother Goose (who is an elderly, literal goose) and a purple, high-strung cat named Attila. Grimmy is well-meaning and tries to be helpful, but sometimes he inadvertently does more harm than good, wreaking havoc.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The art style is the same as Garfield's (even though both comic strips/animated shows are by different creators) and the animation is flawless. The look of it remains faithful to the comic.
 * 2) The writing is both clever and witty, and is used in great ways to take full effects, and advantage of the ideas that are put into motion.
 * 3) The character designs are also accurate to those of their comic counterparts.
 * 4) Many great, likable, memorable characters, especially the titular main character, Grimmy, himself with his moments of hilarity and melodrama.
 * 5) The theme songs (both of which are bluesy tunes) are fine in their own ways. The first intro sequence features original animation whereas the latter has clips of various episodes. As far as the visuals of the intros go, the former may be better. The incidental music is simply quaint.
 * 6) Voice work that sounds well-acted.
 * 7) Creative jokes, gags, and lines of dialogue.
 * 8) Inventive takes on nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters, references, and parodies.
 * 9) Enough moments to keep things entertaining and exciting.
 * 10) Grimmy's nickname is a nice nod to the Brothers Grimm (who were known for their fairytales) and the nursery rhymes reference for Mother Goose complements Grimmy's fairytales reference.

Trivia

 * The late SpongeBob creator, Stephen Hillenburg, was involved in work on the animation of this show early in his career.
 * Grimmy cameos in Garfield Gets Real, as well as Dagwood from Blondie while Snoopy from Peanuts in mentioned.
