Cut per this


* GenreKiller: This series and ''WesternAnimation/YoYogi'' are considered the shows that killed the SaturdayMorningCartoon (alongside the Children's Television Act of 1990, which merely set the footprint), as their piss-poor reception (and the success of live-action series ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' which also aired on Saturday mornings) led to NBC finally killing their children's programming block and set the stage for other networks to wind down their blocks (or, increasingly by the mid-90s, outsource them to other companies).
