Description:

This oddly stylistic cartoon features Poochini, a talking dog who dallies in mischief while living with a 1950s suburban family. Four short flicks comprise this half-hour program providing snippets of the pooch's new life after leaving an upper-crust home to be adopted by an eccentric inventor. In one tale, a coffee-brewing invention goes awry, turning Poochini into a caffeine-crazed canine on a neighborhood frenzy; in another, a bad bump on Poochini's head causes him to try on new identities as he grapples with amnesia. The best of the bunch begins when a gopher ransacks Billy's perfectly manicured lawn. When he and his dad team up to catch the critter, Poochini joins forces with the rascal rodent and slapstick antics prevail. Accompanied by smooth jazz, the cartoon is drawn in similar style to the famed Jetsons (1962), doused in avocado greens and mustard yellows suitable to yesteryear. While never ascending beyond Saturday morning fare, it's mildly engaging as such. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson
