The Moxy Show
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Moxy Show
The Moxy Show is a short lived 3-D animated show about a 3-D animated dog named Moxy and his sidekick, Flea, introduced in 1998. Together they have wacky, but cool, adventures. The series was arguably Cartoon Network's first ever original series. The show began in 1994. The show consisted primarily of classic cartoons which were padded out by short bumpers featuring Moxy and Flea. Since it was not a full-length series, but instead a method for repackaging old material, some do not consider it Cartoon Network's first original series, instead giving that distinction to Space Ghost Coast to Coast
In its natal year it was called The Moxy Pirate show and ran for 60 minutes This masterpiece was produced and animated by the Hanna Barbera animation studio. In 1995, it was renamed The Moxy Show but still kept its 60 minute format. In 1998, Flea was introduced to the show to give Moxy someone to play off of. Because of this, the show was renamed The Moxy & Flea Show. The show was also cut down from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, which eliminated the 3-D effects the show had. This was considered by many to be the death blow to the show. On April 1, 2000 the show was removed from Cartoon Network entirely. This was the same day that many classic Hanna Barbera shows were removed from Cartoon Network, such as Josie and the Pussycats, Top Cat, and Wacky Races. These series were drafted to Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang leaving only the most popular classic Hanna Barbera cartoons such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo, and Tom & Jerry.
