Well, I discovered, and have been enjoying,
Wander Over Yonder... and, while that how
does have a few heartstring-tugging episodes [The Black Cube-focused one and several focused on Wander's and Sylvia's pasts, both together and separately], my favorites are the more giddy, goofy ones. Surprisingly, Hater gets just as many of those as Wander, like "The Breakfast", "The Cartoon" and "The Bad Neighbors". With his violent outbursts and propensity for throwing tantrums, he's like Skeletor's weird socially-maladjusted cousin.
When comedy shows experiment with "very special episodes" full of pathos and character-building, it can go very well or very
bad. Anyone remember that
Animaniacs* episode "
One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock"? That's an example of it going
royally bad....
* Not Disney, I know, but some of their top writers and talent--Peter Hastings, Rusty Mills, Paul Rugg--did later move over to The Mouse after the series wrapped.
