2 Stupid Dogs

2 Stupid Dogs is a animated television series created by Donovan Cook and produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons.

Plot
The show is about two unnamed dogs—neither of whom, as the title states, are very intelligent—and their everyday misadventures. The Big Dog tends to talk much less than the Little Dog. When the Big Dog talks, he usually talks about food. The animation style in the first season is unusual for the time: a very flat and simplistic style similar to the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the 1950s and 1960s, but with early 1990s humor and sensibility. The wilder, more absurd second season has more fluid and exaggerated character animation.

Why It's Not Stupid

 * 1) The Big Dog and The Small Dog are both funny and likable characters. Along with many other characters that appeared on the show, like Mr. Hollywood, Cubby, Kenny Fowler and Buffy.
 * 2) Good animation, which is a big step up for the animation produced by Hanna-Barbera.
 * 3) Great art-style, since it uses the iconic thick-line style that was used for some Hanna-Barbera shows before, like The Flintstones.
 * 4) It also know for launching the careers of Rob Renzetti, Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken, with both would later work on Dexter's Laboratory.
 * 5) Some clever and hilarious running gags, like when the small dog needs help from the big dog to scare the cat away.
 * 6) Mr. Hollywood's line: "Isn't that cute, BUT IT'S WRONG".
 * 7) It was followed by a revival of Secret Squirrel titled "Super Secret Secret Squirrel"  which was also great, and even better than the original.
 * 8) Even Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole have made a cameo in the episode "Let's Make a Right Price".
 * 9) Decent soundtrack, like the music used in the theme song.

Stupid Qualities

 * 1) Some annoying characters, like Red.
 * 2) Speaking of Red, most of the episodes involving her always have some bad endings (except for Return of Red).
 * 3) Sometimes, The Big Dog and The Small Dog can sometimes cause some confusion that is more frustrating than funny.
 * 4) It only lasted two seasons due to low ratings and because Ted Turner found the show to be a bad clone of Ren & Stimpy.
 * 5) Some use of inneduos, like the ones used in the episodes "Door Jam" and "At the Drive-In" (which the latter being controversal enough to make the entire episode, along with the segments, banned.

Trivia

 * Hanna-Barbera wanted to change out each season's middle segments with other reboots of their older shows, including The Hair Bear Bunch, The Cattanooga Cats and Snooper and Blabber.
