Originally, Miss Peterson was going to do the character closer to Sharon Tate with diaphanous gowns and blonde hair but that didn’t sell, so she went to Vampira’s source, Morticia (New Yorker comic, of course) and built it around that.
What I recall was that “Frog Baseball” was a B&B short as part of a show called “Liquid Television”, and that there was actually a second one where they go to a monster truck rally and encounter the Roman god of feces.
Office Space also rose out of Liquid TV; Mike Judge’s “Milton” shorts were first shown there in the early 1990s. It’s not a series, but a full movie.
The second B&B short was “Peace, Love, and Understanding.” They weren’t originally made for Liquid Television - They both premiered in Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation first, and were shown on Liquid Television after MTV bought the rights, but before they started the full series.
Okay… ‘first broadcast on Liquid TV’ then?
And FWIW, “Peace, Love and Understanding” is the one with the monster trucks, porta-potties and Roman god of feces.
It’s my impression The Key & Peele Show is essentially their spit balling future projects.
Another Love American Style vignette, “Love and the Old-Fashioned Father”, was the episode that became Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. The animated sitcom provided Tom Bosley three years worth of paychecks to supplement the pittance he was getting as Howard Cunningham on Happy Days.
Right, I wasn’t correcting you, just elaborating.
Family Dog was a sketch on Amazing Stories that became an awful animated series several years later.
