Piggsburg Pigs! | comment |
Piggsburg Pigs! is a forgotten little series released in 1990 by Ruby-Spears as part of the very first season of the Fox Kids block. It took place in the town of Piggsburg, which as the name implies was inhabited by anthropomorphic pigs, and focused on the adventures of the Bacon brothers Bo, Portly and Pighead, and their (pet?) duck Quackers.They were constantly ducking the schemes of the wolves Huff and Puff to eat them for lunch, but supernatural danger would also frequently appear from the Forbidden Zone, the menacing swamp on the edge of town. The heavy usage of some pretty genuinely menacing monsters for a cartoon where the main characters were silly anthropomorphic animals probably explains a lot about why this show isn't more remembered.The series had a limited Region 2 DVD release, but has yet to be seen again in the States. | |

Piggsburg Pigs! / int_1f14978d | comment |
Talking Animal: Of the Funny Animal variety, the pigs and the wolves, who can be understood perfectly by human scientist Dr. Sargasso and his minions, one of which is a werewolf-type creature. He even attended one of Piggsburg's universities before being kicked out. | |

Book Ends: This show is one half of a pair for Fox Kids as a whole, being one of the first shows to be produced for the block. Before the block went defunct in 2002, one of the last shows it would produce would be Pig City, another show about a city of anthropomorphic pigs. | |

Piggsburg Pigs! / int_704d7e91 | comment |
No Ontological Inertia: At the beginning of one episode a vampire brings the eponymous Vampire Dogs From Mars to life from a movie at a drive-in. When the vampire's destroyed at the end of the episode the dogs turn into a poster for the movie. Likewise in "Carnival of Evil" the monster falling victim to his own power automatically changes all his victims back to normal. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show | |
Piggsburg Pigs! / int_7431b974 | comment |
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: As noted the talking pigs are pretty typical of most Funny Animal fare, but each episode ends up being about some monster or other being that's portrayed as menacing as they could get away with on a Saturday morning cartoon. The wolves are also into wanting to eat the pigs and openly express it, but difference was they were never presented as being an actual threat. | |

Swiss-Army Superpower | |
Piggsburg Pigs! / int_787a34e7 | comment |
Swiss-Army Superpower: Quackers was often used as a replacement for whatever tool the pigs needed to get out of the current problem, from a harpoon to a squirt gun to an axe (!) to an outboard motor. One of the more common (and weird) uses he was put to was having a flashlight shoved in his bill with the pigs then walking around holding him up by the feet. | |

Chekhov's Skill: In "Case of the Troublesome Monster" Pighead's learning to imitate voices at the beginning of the episode. At the end it lets him imitate the voice of the only person who can say a magic spell to de-animate a giant killer statue, saving everybody (even though he doesn't sound a thing like the person he's supposedly copying). | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: There were a couple episodes such as "Pighead's Brain" and "Mystery of the Swamp Mansion" with human characters who never thought anything at all of meeting anthropomorphic pigs and wolves or vice versa. A few times the guys' pigs were shown being attracted to beautiful human women, with the girl pigs getting jealous of the beautiful human women too. | |

Piggsburg Pigs! / int_f651b980 | comment |
Forbidden Zone: The swamp outside town, and actually called the Forbidden Zone, even. Home to all manner of swamp monsters, evil spirits, undead and more than one Mad Scientist. However since every episode ended up there eventually, there was really nothing keeping anybody from going in (or out...), so the "forbidden" part seems to have been more of a suggestion that nobody really followed. | |
