My sister and I had a newfoundland dog when we were little, when this show was on. Like afghan hounds (which What-a-mess was), Newfoundlad dogs have VERY long hair. They also grow very big very quickly, so he was always so clumsy and he would get into a lot of mischief. When he was a pup he once took a bag of potting soil and shock the entire thing, coating the living room in it. When we got home my dog got us home he freaked and yelled "what a mess!" and my sister and just broke down laughing.
Yes Isn't It Wonderful To Remember The Good Old Days Of Being A Child Of 7 Or 8 (Thats How Old I Was When What A Mess Was Airing Saturday Mornings After The Bugs Bunny And Tweety Show On ABC) Would It Be Nice To Go Back And Live Those Wonderful Times Again
My sister and I LOVED this show when we were little, so when we got a newfoundland puppy and he tore open a bag of potting soil and coated our living room with it, we couldn't do anything other than laugh. I miss cartoons like this!
This Brings Back So Many Memories Mostly The Day It Premired- I'm Watching The End Titles Of School House Rock During The Bugs Bunny And Tweety Show When The Announcer Says Now Stay Tuned For The Premire Of An all New Show What A Mess Next Then I Wonder Whats It About And Will I Like It Then It Turns Out What A Mess Is A Dog And The Show Is Mostly Of Cats And Dogs So Then Yep Its A Show For Me

omg. this used to be my favorite show when i was like, three or four. and still to this day, i remember it. awh. memories. really puts a contrast on the crap modern television airs. :\
Awesome Show I'm Glad Back In 1995 This Show Came Along And Took The Time Slot Of The Show Cro Which Was On ABC's Saturday Morning Line Up After A Lifelong Favorite Show of Mine - The Bugs And Tweety Show
I Love This Cartoon I enjoyed it alot as a kid Except for one thing this show gave one of my relatives a dumb idea- He'd Call Me What A Mess If I didn't Bath
I love both versions of this show! I'm biased...I raised and showed Affies years ago, and I have a 2 year old Affie....they are mischief makersin the extreme, lol
Actually, it's more that they are like cats, lol! Very independant, at times aloof. I had one Affie, Candy, who was an escape artist! If she heard you talking about a weak spot in a fence, she'd go right to it, lol
i loved this show but i remember the ending was sad or something.. i wish i could see it again so i could remember. can anyone explain the last episode?
This was actually the second British version of the What-a-Mess stories. A previous series of 13 short animations was made by Smallfilms for the BBC in 1980, but was eclipsed by this series 10 years later and is now largely forgotten.
This show came at the end of the good saturday morning cartoon era...it was alright. I remembered watching it, and I thought that it was okay, but not as good as reboot that came on in an earlier time slot.
You got right on the nail! This was the "Americanized" version animated (OR RUINED) by DIC animation in 1996. The original British version has a real cool "Big Band" style theme song. I rather want to see the original British version than the Americanized disater!
Ah, when Toon Disney was GREAT!

bluecatcinema 1 year ago
@bluecatcinema Here's my best try for you:
Loveable puppy so fun and unrepressed! (Oh my, What-A-Mess!)
Totally helpful but taken to excess! (Oh my, What-A-Mess!)
He's a scruffy little Afghan Prince.
He could use a little common sense!
When he comes running we all shout What-A-Mess! (We shout: What-A-Mess!)
He's the hero ready for success (Who's that? What-A-Mess!)
But if he's cunning he'll send an S.O.S. (Hey there! What-A-Mess!)
This dog is daring, he's brave and bold (cont.)
Vakshasa 1 year ago
@bluecatcinema
Except when it's spooky or dark or cold!
When he comes running we all shout What-A-Mess! (We shout: What-A-Mess!)
On an adventure, we never know what's next! (Watch out what a mess)
Out in the garden he's on a jungle quest (There goes what a mess!)
Digging a hole just to beat the heat,
Makin' disaster, it's job complete!
Can't have enough of this pup called What-A-Mess! (We shout: What-A-Mess!)
