NINETEEN EIGHTY-THREE! A young man has just been promoted to Head of Creative Development and Marketing Liaison for CBS Television's Saturday Morning line-up. NOBODY knows what he's supposed to actually be doing, but he sits at the head of the meeting table in his slightly oversized business suit, listening to the representatives from Hanna-Barbera pitch ideas for new cartoons. Be cause he wants to look like he's actually doing SOMETHING, he rejects EVERYTHING they suggest. Then, once the Hanna-Barbera guys have run out of ideas, they ask the young executive what it is that he IS looking for in a new Saturday Morning cartoon. The young executive leans forward, smiles slightly and says "You know that show, The Smurfs? I'm thinking... what if the SMURFS... what if they were... DOGS. Like, *really tiny* dogs? THAT'S the future of Saturday Morning TV, boys! Tiny little Smurf-Dogs! MAKE IT HAPPEN!"

The yooung executive was fired the following day, after a record-breaking 4 days as Head of Creative Development and Marketing Liaison for CBS Television's Saturday Morning line-up. But somehow the Smurf-Dogs made it through to Saturday Morning TV and history was made!

SO let's hear it for The Biskitts! Leave some kind words in the comments below, and if this was a favorite of yours don't forget to go and vote it up in oour Best Cartoon of 1983 Poll!

I loved the Biskits when I was a kid. I was a dog kind of kid, so anything with dogs in it I loved.

It is not often that I forget a cartoon from my childhood, but I COMPLETELY forgot about this one until your post. And now I remember loving it so much. YAY! Thanks for the memory jog!

It was cute, but not terribly creative. I watched it and enjoyed it, possibly because nothing better was available and I didn't know better. XD

They're little chibi dogs who ride tiny frogs. I almost want to squee.

As long as they didn't switch words like 'Smurf' this and that or engage in quasi-Communism, I think it's the greatest thing, evah.
