This show, this show.......it makes me wonder what my pets are thinking, and that's what it does, it shows a point of view of a dog who doesn't want to be a dog, and that's creative and something Gary Baseman would actually do, and he did it. The cast contains Nathan Lane,David Ogden Stiers,Mae Whiteman,Jerry Stiller, and Wallace Shawn, hell even Pamela Adlon and Rob Paulsen voices characters, and there performances are astounding, including rob, it was his time to just goof off as Ian Wazselewski and act so retardly hilarious. The only problem i have with the show is that, it barely has any attention. Back then people from miles began watching stuff like Recess, Pepper Ann,Teamo Supremo,Mickey Mouse works, and Disney's Doug, it just makes me cringe that not that much people even watched Teachers pet, and this was Gary Baseman's magnum opus, hell it even got a successful movie that still people haven't even seen it due to that there currently either watching Rugrats or Ren and Stimpy or any other 90's cheese, this was just underrated yet it was good, hell i can consider Nathan lane was jumping around at Disney when they made it, so it has lots of consideration in the show,which is good. Personally, I suggest you watch it if you haven't heard of Gary Baseman
... View MoreNathan Lane has the perfect voice for animation. It's energetic, yet childish! And this vehicle is perfect for him. And to be honest, I'm not even a Nathan Lane fan.Don't waste your time with Digimon. "Teacher's Pet" is great for you who are still young at heart.And the bird (Pretty Boy) and the depressing cat "Mr. Jolly" are wonderful! Not to mention the Opera music they play now and again...
... View MoreI haven't been a kid for too many years to count. Generally speaking, Saturday morning is my least favorite time to watch the tube. I like to laze around on weekends; and I have no interest in modern cartoons. Usually, there's a choice between boring cartoons and infomercials.Now sneak 'Teacher's Pet' into the mix. I'm entranced by a likeable dog who turns into the 4th grade class genius the moment he's on his way to school. The excellent Nathan Lane does the voice for Spot/Scott, the budding dog/boy genius, and he is superb. The mark of any great kid's entertainment is how well it holds up over time, and how well it plays to different levels. That's why The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was so beloved by younger views and the adults who care for them. This is a great cartoon, great entertainment, and great fun. I predict a long, successful run on Saturday morning. I'll make sure I watch!
... View MoreTEACHER'S PET is a surprising choice for an ABC Saturday morning cartoon, especially as part of One Saturday Morning. It can be very trippy at times. But it's pretty zany, which makes it a cool cartoon. Nathan Lane is the (oddly) perfect choice for the voice of Spot/Scott. Debra Jo Rupp (THAT 70'S SHOW) adds her usual charm to the voice of Mrs. Helperman. Jerry Stiller and David Ogden Stiers also give amusing relief to the voices of Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly.The show is on ABC Saturday mornings at around 9:00 A.M.
