Subject: Take off eh? Bob and Doug McKenzie to return in cartoon form
Written By: ChuckyG on 04/29/08 at 9:59 am
Fans of the movie Strange Brew and SCTV will be happy to hear the duo have reunited and are going to be animated for an upcoming cartoon version of their characters. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis are going to be doing the voices as well, no lame imitations!
The Bob and Doug characters launched as a two-minute skit on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp's sketch-comedy series SCTV in 1980, in part to mock federal government rules that require the public broadcaster to air identifiably "Canadian content" in its homegrown TV shows.

This could be a big comeback for Rick Moranis. Haven't heard from him since those 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' movies LOL Dave's brother Ian Thomas, who was a very popular singer in Canada, did the music for 'Strange Brew' so I wonder if he will score the theme to the cartoon?
In the 90s, Rick and Dave donned the Bob and Doug characters for a series of Molson Canadian ads, in one of which they are seen stealing a Molson transport ;D

I love that sketch and I have Strange Brew on DVD. I can't make it through "holiday time" without listening to their "Twelve Days of Christmas" over and over.

The Unknown fact behind Bob & Doug was during an SCTV script submission the CRTC denied some of the scripts as it didn't have enough "Canadian Content"!!??.Lived here all my life & I don't know what that means :o
So Dave Thomas asked CRTC what was Canadian Content & took all that A step further....Thus the birth of the MacKenzie Bros!
I think the Great White North set was more of an inside joke to the SCTV crew..But we all loved it!
Citizens of Mellonville miss Bob & Doug!
