Garbage Pail Kids is an American animated television series which was produced in 1987 and 1988, based on the popular Garbage Pail Kids bubble gum cards, produced and directed by Bob Hathcock and co-written and developed by Flint Dille. The series stars the characters Split Kit, Elliot Mess, Terri Cloth, Patty Putty, and Clogged Duane as normal kids who can transform into gross looking kids with abilities to help others. (However in the first two episodes they had normal alter-egos, episodes 3-13 showed them in just their garbage pail forms). The show also featured parodies of movies like Indiana Jones, Superman, and The Fly. It also had segments like "Garbage Pail Groaners" and "Would We Lie To You". Though an entire season was ordered and slated to be aired by CBS, it was pull before the premire and replaced with Muppet Babies (which was now expaned to 90 minutes).
