Capitol Critters: An Embarrassment of Roaches- part 1

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

What were they going to do with the net?

[jellywillreturn]

What a terrible, racist show.

[Mammalmage]

I know the humans aren't the stars of the show, but why is it no one notices the traps?

[veight84]

doesn't the rat/mouse watever @ 00:56 sound like chicken from Cow and Chicken lol

[y0utu8ewatch3r]

@veight84 your right its the same person



[jellywillreturn]

Racism in television. And not a parody. AND we are supposed to feel for the racists. Zipideedooda.

I remember this show being on cartoon network for a short time around 1997, of course it was just reruns but I don't remember it lasting long on their either.

[DigiTan000]

I was in office when this happened.

[AlexanderRaccoon]

in office? Which ?

[crancrab1]

heard it only had 13 episodes and lasted for 2 months so this show was tremendously unsuccessful, hence, why no one knows about it. Seems funny as hell though. Just goes to show you that if shows get low ratings just means people are too dense to not watch it

[MrWoofington]

This is really an ill-conceived concept... "Tom & Jerry" style idiotic violence mixed with hamfisted attempts at tackling the issue of bigotry... and that creepy scene at the end where the elderly female roach gets up and leaves behind a pile of EGGS... yuck! Really makes you wonder what the creators were thinking...

[Greatsaiyakirby]

5:18 Wow, did he just say "Crap"? Somehow I don't think this is a kid's show, despite the animation style.

[draktyr]

This was actually shown in the evenings on ABC and was aimed at a more mature audience. Hence, the dialogue. :)

[doggygenesis]

@Greatsaiyakirby no it's not a kid show. it's acutally an adult show. they mentione vilolence, sex, drugs, and alot of other words. even hell and "jammit" which sounds like "damnit'.

[bobobobo568]

Racism, Yeah!

[Jezt1990]

Gee, subtle racial undertones.

[FurryFan]

irionicly i remember watchnig this show when I was little and I really loved it a lot I never realised it was this adult untill watching it today.. its a shame it was canceled so fast

[sonicsuks]

that line is sooooo awsome! at 00:54 lol

[JennieBunnie1983]

i loved this show growing up...i wish i could get it now!

[GrandMasterLynx]

the woman is way to old to be laying eggs

[boru25]

Guess Hanna Barbera over looked that detail.

[boru25]

This episode is kinda disgusting. The thought of roaches or any insects laying there eggs is a disturbing idea! It really is! 6:23. There 1st Lench Mob. All they need is Ice Cube & there set.

[HoodwinkHighbrow]

Lynch mob? Funny. Odd for a Kid's Show. Interesting, none the less.

[TheManAbove]

I read that this show wasn't really meant for kids, as it aired on primetime, but the look for seemed like one.

[westman34]

They sold kids toys. Trust me, they were not too cautious on that side of it.

[TheManAbove]

I know what you mean. It was an attempt to compete with The Simpsons but it failed. Of course, I did read that toys of this show were sold at Burger King and such, but some of the elements of this show weren't really child friendly.

[odc26]

I love that this show did stuff on racism.
