I'm a Chicago native born the same year this aired. Damn I'm proud to be from the Chi!!
BJ and dirty dragon! Holy Cow I forgot about them- I used to watch them all the time! I'm 62 now....UHF Baby! Welcome to underground TV....lol
My favs were Blob getting ready for a date and Weird---who, to me in an odd sort of way, looked similar to or certainly reminded me of comedian Marty Allen.
When I was a kid, I thought they put cigarettes in Dirty Dragon's nose to it to smoke like that..lol

I actually saw a live BJ and Dirty Dragon show at the mercury theater at north ave and harlem ave. I was let down because Dirty Dragon didnt talk he just nodded yes or no. Tickets were a dollar...later years i watch the theater being knocked down.
I loved this show and even held a carnival for Muscular Dystrophy back then. I don't remember the year but BJ and the gang were encouraging viewers to hold these "Carnivals for Muscular Dystrophy". He would read the names of those who held them along with the amounts raised during the show. What a amazing treat it was to hear BJ mention my name during the show. I only wish I could find some more clips of Cartoon Town, they seem pretty scarce.
