This has been on mst3k.com for a couple of days, but I just noticed it. Two of my favorite worlds are colliding: the whimsical wonder of Frank Conniff, and the cartoon expertise of Jerry Beck. The two are co-producing a live show/podcast called "Cartoon Dump!" that will showcase the worst cartoons ever made in a spoof of a children's show. More info over at Cartoon Brew, the show's official site, and the MySpace page. Looks like Cartoon Dump! will draw material from Beck's vast library of classic and not-so-classic animation, which he presents every year at Comic-Con in a panel called "Worst Cartoons Ever." I caught it last year and it was so much fun. I even contacted Mr. Beck afterward and procured a DVD of the featured toons. (One of them was Pow Wow the Indian Boy, whose theme song was frequently referenced during the Joel years of MST3K).

Jerry Beck rocks. If it weren't for him, the Looney Tunes DVD would all be edited to remove violence and un-PC material, and the Woody Woodpecker cartoons would never have gotten released.

Sam, thanks for posting that picture. There's a lot more on their myspace page too, folks. It's worth it just to see the hot spandex be-suited ladies that co-host the show. Frank, you pimp! It's good to see him finally, uh, doing stuff.

The episode page is up, but the video doesn't seem to be working just yet.
On Friday night I attended this year's "Worst Cartoons Ever" event, and they were promoting Cartoon Dump by handing out postcards to everyone waiting in line. Sadly, Frank was not on hand.

Aye, video's still not working shamefully. This and the new episode of Consolevania getting delayed leaves me cursing internet shows. At least the latter got sorted. Let's hope Cartoon Dump's up tomorrow.

Not bad. A little slight, but a good idea. Good to see Frank in action again.
Mighty Mr. Titan opens the "Worst Cartoons Ever" presentations, and the crowd reaction is hilarious. I think these crappy cartoons are best viewed in groups.

It was pretty good, and I've gained some invaluable exercise tips to boot! Thank you Mighty Mr. titan. And thank you Cartoon Dump.

Pardon the shameless plug, but I've written up a short review of the first episode here, for anyone who's interested.

Not quite as exciting as the Volume 12 news, but Cartoon Dump Episode 2 is now available.
