Saturday Morning Cartoons: Earthworm Jim
Ray guns, random cows, and invertebrates, in 1994 these unlikely ingredients came together to create one of the most popular, best animated, and straight-out bizarre video games the unsuspecting world had ever seen: Earthworm Jim. One year later, the worm rage netted Jim a television debut and—as is often the case—a little something got lost in translation (best evidenced by the theme song and “groovy” catch phrase). But with characters like Princess What's-Her Name, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head (my personal fav), and Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt, the animated adventures of Earthworm Jim have a hard time being forgotten. So, nab your super suit, strap on your rocket engine, and hit the link for a half hour of the most famous megadrile in video gaming!

Sorry if you comments from earlier got wiped. Technical difficulties with the ol'interweb this mornin'. Should be fine now though!
Holy Crap, I was *just* thinking about this show last night... weird.
Yeah, grew up with this show and game. i remember thinking that the show should have been funnier, but I still loved it, especially with the whole "queen pulsating puss filled blah blah slug for a butt" name thing.
As far as cartoons though, it was all about the Pinky and the Brain.
