Why was Van Partible obsessed with having Johnny Bravo meet celebrities and fictional characters? He did it a dozen times and the only occasions it was funny was with the Scooby Doo gang and Donny Osmond.
Did he really think Johnny Bravo meets Don Knotts was comedy gold or something?

He grew up with old Hanna Barbera cartoons which did the same.
>Why was Van Partible obsessed with having Johnny Bravo meet celebrities and fictional characters?
He was the 90s equivalent to vivizie pop
What makes you think it was Van Partible when Seth McFarlane went on to make Family Guy?
Because the incessant celebrity cameos happened in both season 1 and season 4, the only two seasons Van Partible was in charge of, and Seth was already long gone by the time the show got a renewal for a second season.
And the Kirk Tingbald episodes age better than the Partible seasons.
true, and that's a widely accepted opinion
Seasons 2 and 3 had Dionne Warwick and Luke Perry.
Seth and Butch worked on the Adam West episode and both would go on to use him in their shows the same way he was used in that episode, true. But they weren't working on S4 which is when you had shit like the Weird Al and Shaq guest spots.
because seth wasn't working on season 4
>Scooby Doo meets Don Knotts
>Johnny Bravo meets Don Knotts
Why him specifically?
He was big with boomers. My dad who was born in the 60s always talked about him
He was like a living cartoon character . 70s kids(the 90s CN class of animators) all knew him
He was a popular comedic actor
>50 year career
>main comedic character in a smash hit sitcom for 5 years
>major roles in several big hit comedy movies and a slew of moderate successes
>main comedic character in another smash hit sitcom for 5 years
There were 3-4 generations in a row that all knew him by name.
Don Knotts is a funny guy
i like when he meets Adam West but that's it.
They were funny even when I didn't know who these people were
Because he always seen himself as a "serious" "adult" producer and wanted to make "serious" work for "adults" and not "cartoons for kids" so he seethed nonstop about it.
because van partiblee was a moron
You're not an interesting person
Was an attempt at trying to get boomers to watch CN mistaken it for an obscure 60s cartoon.
CHAD Tingblad vs chud partible
Cinemaphile vs reddit
Smart writing vs epic pop culture reference
Because he's based and made cartoons specifically for me. I'm Cinemaphile by the way.
>Seasons by Van Partible are widely considered bad
>Seasons by Kirk Tingblad are considered better than the creator
any other cases like this?
Someone should make a documentary about the show’s behind-the-scenes drama that led to Van Partible being fired and the retooling that took place for season 2.
There was no big drama, he was just a casualty of a takeover. Warner Brothers most likely wanted a guy with more experience and that's why they put a dude who was in charge of Animaniacs to helm Johnny Bravo. Among all the "What a Cartoon!" winners, Van Partible had the least experience.

>It was an amazing first season, but I was taken by surprise when the company fired me amid the Warner Brothers takeover of Turner Broadcasting.
Also in that same episode they low-key dissed the Calabrese/Tingblad seasons.
