Thanks to the generous support of patron Alex Irish, this week we're exploring some uncharted Disney Afternoon territory via Goofy's very first TV show! Disney had done action and adventure with their afternoon cartoons before 1992, but with Goof Troop, they created their very first animated sitcom. And though this series went through quite a bit of development hell, it ended up redefining Goofy and Pete for a new generation—and let two brilliant actors totally own these roles to this very day. On this week's podcast, join us a we explore an episode that highlights the very entertaining dynamic between Goof Troop's two animated dads: "Nightmare on Goof Street."

I love the animation that came out of Australia. I remember they also did the Timon & Pumbaa cartoon which has the same eye circles and giant jaw animation of Goof Troop and Return of Jafar. It seems Chris Bradley would have been there at the same time (1996), but has no credits on the show. I would love to know who defined my childhood!

Toon Disney used to play A Goofy Movie all the time in and mid and late 2000s. I didn't know it was based on a TV show until my older brother told me. I guess that's why there's more Goofy Movie rep in the parks than Goof Troop, because there's a younger generation that grew up on Goofy Movie and don't know that Goof Troop existed. I skimmed through some old Toon Disney schedule listings from 2004 to 2008 and reruns aired at 3:30 AM, 11 AM and 12:30 PM. So it aired when the target audience were asleep or at school.

Henry's mom is right, Yoshi's Island is not a Mario game.

I take the proclamation that Marsupilami will be the last Disney Afternoon show to be covered as a challenge. Seriously though it was already on my short list of potential patron picks for the future. One thing did occur to me from the discussion of the one executive always trying to put a giant gorilla in everything is that he may have gotten what he wanted in Marsupilami. Maurice the gorilla voiced by Jim Cummings was not in the original comics. He was a creation just for the Disney cartoons.

I watched this episode and the pollution episode that Henry mentioned before listening to this podcast. Glad I'm not the only one that didn't like that one. It was dumb, like the factory was literally just a pollution factory. It also ends with Goofy becoming mayor, which I'm assuming never comes up again in the series?

Pete was actually a BEAR when he first appeared in the silent Disney Alice Comedies, but when he became Mickey's mortal enemy, he was indeed clearly a cat. Because cats hate mice, remember? You wouldn't believe how much Toontown turns up as a mandated locale from corporate. Back in the mid-2000s, they were trying to push that as Mickey's hometown in the U.S./localized comic books (disregarding decades of established continuity that Mickey lived in Mouseton, a neighboring city to Donald's Duckburg), but some editors put their feet down and refused, to everyone's benefit.

Channel Umptee-3 is an interesting oddity, and is one of those shows that not only no one remembers, but still has over half of its episodes listed as missing or “lost”. The show was educational for the most part, with each episode being about the characters putting on a show teaching kids about different topics, all while a group of businessmen led by Jonathan Harris try to stop them. Maybe one of those low-quality mp4s that people managed to upload off an old VHS tape will be the subject of a future episode

I do think part of the reason Goof Troop isn't as celebrated is for the reason you touched on that it just doesn't have an enthusiastic creator (like Weisman) boosting the show today. Though I'm also curious if the fanbase could be a bit undersized due to the show's broadcast history. Afternoon lineups probably differed across markets, but in 1992 when the show premiered in my market it was on at 4:30. Airing a little down the dial at 4:30 on Fox was Batman: The Animated Series. As a result, I watched very little Goof Troop even though I thought the show was fine, I just wasn't going to pick it over Batman. I even remember one occasion when the Disney Afternoon was running a promotion to win a free Super Nintendo. My friend wanted one so bad that he came over my house that week to watch Batman while his mom watched Goof Troop so she could record the secret code or whatever the promotion was that would be broadcast during Goof Troop. He didn't win. The short Henry mentioned as being one of his favorites is Mickey's Trailer. I had a recording of that on VHS as a kid and watched it at least 100 times. It featured a classic gag where Mickey and Donald eat corn on the cob to a typewriter sound effect. Goofy solo shorts are pretty consistent though, usually funny, but not quite on the level of Donald or the trio shorts as far as Disney cartoons go. I always found the later era shorts, the "Every Man" era, a bit off because Goofy sometimes lost his ears. Especially in shorts where there are just hordes of Goofy people who will be ear-less and sometimes Goofy will be differentiated from them by being the only one with ears. Did Walt just hate his ears or something? It's bizarre.

Always loved Goofy (I made sure to get a Goofy hat when I first went to Disney World in the 90s).

Has anyone clarified that rescuers down under is official a Disney animation studios film. Only Down Under, Fantasia/2000, Winnie-the-Pooh (2011), Ralph 2, and frozen 2 are “official” sequels

Gotta say that transition from A Goofy Movie clip to the Good Troop talk was pretty seamless.

I for one am disappointed that despite this episode's title, it has nothing to do with Nightmare on Elm Street. I guess the show really is like The Simpsons in more ways than one, with a weird title fake out like that. -- Despite not having strong memories of watching this show as a kid, THIS Goofy and THIS Pete are always what I hear in my head and sound the most "right" to me so I must have seen a decent amount of it, at least compared to other stuff starring Goofy & Pete. Though, I definitely had a VHS of A Goofy Movie, so that probably helped cement these voices in my head

Goof Troop is just such a distinctly 1992 show. There's stuff in there that I don't even think would have made television, let alone kids tv even in 1996. One episode ends in Pete getting confronted by the Mafia, with realistic guns and everything. Another has Pete essentially turn his house into a Wacoesque compound complete with a government standoff. But it doesn't matter. Goofy went from clumsy but well meaning suburbanite in the fifties to a savant on par with God in Goof Troop. It borders absurdity and frankly this absurdity makes for outstanding existential comedy in 2020. The next morning after every episode of Goof Troop, Pete wakes up, everything back to normal, but there's a new scheme and a new descent into the madness that is life in the realm of Goof. After hearing the Frank Grimes podcast from you and the Chapo fellows back in 2018, I just can't help but get Grimey vibes from Pete, minus the comedically sympathetic backstory. "Gawrsh. Change the channel, Maxie"
