Fan Page: Alvin & The Chipmunks

Are you guys serious??? Alvin & The Chipmunks is FAR AND AWAY the absolute MOST POPULAR SHOW OF 1983 according to our Best Cartoon of 1983 Poll!!! Don't get me wrong, I certainly enjoyed the show... but in a year where you could also vote for awesome cartoons like The Littles, Dungeons & Dragons, Mister T... how is it possible that this cartoon nearly DOUBLES the amount of votes it's nearest competitor is getting???

My biggest memory of The Chipmunks while growing up was that I was 99% of the time disappointed by the cartoon. Like they would build it up and then I'd watch and then... and then it was over and i was all "Oh that's 30 minutes of my life that just passed without incident". YMMV? Feel free to disagree with me in the comments, I look forward to hearing about why this cartoon is so beloved!

In the meantime, here's my favorite Chipmunks-related memory via comedian Patton Oswalt (NSFW due to language)

File this one under "Holy smokes, I... did I... I *think* I remember this?" because WOW that robot looks familiar and I was in to anything with dogs and anything with space ships and and and...

Okay, just ordered the DVD off of eBay. Let's just see where this goes, shall we?

I think I am the victim of a slick marketing machine that forced me to love The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show. It was all planned just too perfectly...
