Yep. But again, to see that the 'munks & Pooh (and all the rest) know what drugs are at all is shocking, IMHO.

I remember Alf saying when he saw the drugs, "Toto, I don't think we're in cartoon territory anymore!"

The reference to Alf's "adult" puppet counterpart (i.e. Alf's cat-eating habit being used as the reason for Garfield to help) is proof enough that the 'toons were getting into something they've never dealt with before.

Hey, remember the cartoon all-stars where a whole bunch of cartoon characters like Alf, the Smerfs, Garfield, Kermit and Piggy, Michaelangelo, Bugs Bunny, Slimer, and others come in?

Yeah, I remember it. Very freaky stuff...

Freaky indeed. One never thought that they would merge cartoon crossovers with anti-drug PSAs, but the networks did just that.

Here's yet another Saturday Morning favorite from 80's ABC called, Wrappers of their Own.

I call shenanigoats! They had ALL these PSA's about healthy living and eating, and these CO-EXISTED with the McD's, Lay's, Count Chocula, Peanut Butter Cup commercials without complaint. I don't understand why they couldn't have tossed more PSA's, and let the junk food commercials exist, and let kids make their own freaking decisions, instead of having a bunch of busiybodies KILL kid's television like they did. But hey, that's just you're friendly, unemployed animation student talking.

Hmm... I don't remember those PSAs... actually, the only thing from Saturday Morning that managed to get me to eat fruit was Pee Wee's Playhouse - no joke XD

Oh, there were hundreds of them. Some I remember better than others... like the Hanker for a Hunka cheese guy... They weren't even just confined to Saturday mornings, either. i remember seeing them in local syndication. That's where I saw the bestest PSA Ever

I love this PSA! Very funny! Good example for human beings? They should be able to smoke all they want too with out the same consequences.
