I thought me and my siblings were the only ones who knew about this show and it was some lost treasure. I remember this so vividly from around the time I was 5 years old. I can't believe how many people out there feel the exact same about the hard-core nostalgia this evokes!
I *love* this show ! I can still recite the Mom's diatribe by heart : ) "Do I have dreams? Do I have aspirations? No! But my toilet bowl is springtime fresh and I'm as pleased as punch to be playing short order cook to a dog!"
I got to say this episode at least succeeds in presenting a desperate presentation of a residential suburban hellscape, complete with disfunctional family Dynamics and passive aggressive abuse on all ends. I feel so bad for this poor dog..
I actually had the game when I was little and recently rebought it today. I can’t believe someone developer thought it was worthwhile making a game based on a 10 episode series.
Awww Poor dog 🐶 is so neglected 😆. I remembered this cartoon from when I was like 7-8 years old We had a few episodes recorded on a vhs 📼 tape and since then have always wondered what it’s called and if it was real!! So thanks it’s a vibe!!
I remember watching this as a teen with my brother and dad. The line, "Whoooaa! He's whizzing on the carpet!" Has stuck in my head for all these years. It was the funniest thing we'd ever seen in a cartoon, and none of us could believe what we were seeing. (That was pre-Simpsons, of course) I couldn't remember the name of the show, and Googled "He's whizzing on the carpet!" lol... that actually found it! :) :) :)
this show was buried so deep in my brain. I haven’t watched this since I was maybe 4-6. I feel so nostalgic watching it...It’s literally 2:30 am, I’ve been trying to find this/figure out what it’s called the past hour or so... so crazy to relive this episode.
I’m in a different dimension where Family Guy never existed, it’s always been Family Dog here. And although Dog looks like Brian, the mom looks like Lois, there’s a strange feeling about the dad, he’s def no Peter Griffin. But all their voices sound as if they’re done with A.I.
Nowadays this seems kinda depressing... How these human characters are totally unaware of the dog's needs and the dog's body language is absurd. ;) So, it seems like the merit problem was depicted perfectly. :)
I played the SNES video game based on this series, and I was like "Wow, this is messed kinda messed up." Then I came and watched the show, and found out it was made by Tim Burton. Okay, now I see why!
I arrived here through the internet rabbit-hole. I was listening to a 2001 song by the Gorillaz, a virtual anime band, and I decided to search the animator of those interesting band anime characters. The anime artists name is Jamie Hewlett, and his Wiki page mentions "Family Dog" animation as an early influence. So, I decided to find an episode of "Family Dog" since I had never actually watched one before. I can definitely see the similarity between "Billy Binsford" (the son) in this series, and the anime style of Hewlett for the band characters. Interesting evolution of cartoon/anime art work. Thanks for the upload.
No wonder critics despised this… I know the goal was to be unlikeable on purpose but it’s not endearing enough to make me wanna keep watching. Decent animation, however.
I really wanted to know what's the music that plays on the TV at 6:42 I heard that same music on the Simpsons Tracey Ullman Short "Watching Television".
Since the original short of this was 1987 Amazing Stories movie could Billy be the reference for Chucky he sure looks the part. Childs Play was released 1988.
I agree tom ! Someone should give him a space to call his own!! Lol........... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . see what i did there ...... Smh lol
i bet a lot of families, wrapped up in their own self centered lives, ignore their animals needs... the animals become another self serving possession. just to be clear: i don't think this makes them evil or bad people in any way though. this is just the new deal for our little friends. so instead of hunting for food and living with heart worms, they get to live healthily with us as long as we can cuddle them! :D
I read about this show and looked it up. As a dog lover, breeder and exhibitor, and owner of two Miniature Bull Terriers I did not like it at all. The family’s callous treatment of the dog was awful. Maybe, I’m taking it too seriously.
Yeah its one of those shows you'd have to have grown up watching with the shit they have now robot chicken, family guy, brickle berry, south park etcetera,
@@SONPitbull1986 yea all those shows are old now.. but i don't think id like it back then. it's not my taste. more of a fan of stuff like rocko, ren and stimpy, angry beavers, etc from back then. not really a fan of the style but hey each their own.
Burton really loved to draw this kind of dog
Oh my God thank you for posting this. I was starting to think I imagined this. It’s like my brother and I were the only people that know about this🤣
Your welcome! Same

I remember this as if it were yesterday, I needed this.
Watching this dog struggle for water makes me dehydrated. Lol

That was in Amazing Stories, the best one they made.
@@jona5517 That's right! I still remember😄☺
Same here!!! For some reason that popped in my head last night out of nowhere 😂
Man we were lucky to grow up in the 80's....feel bad for those who missed out, no school shootings, no social media...
I got to say this episode at least succeeds in presenting a desperate presentation of a residential suburban hellscape, complete with disfunctional family Dynamics and passive aggressive abuse on all ends.
I feel so bad for this poor dog..
Poor doggie. I always make sure my dogs have plenty to drink!
I remember my mom had VHS recordings of this that I grew up on. This was a great part of my childhood :,)
Visit and beta tapes yup kids now will never know the struggle lol
@@SONPitbull1986 what struggle?
I loved this cartoon as a kid. The little girl was my favorite character
Little cutie
Anyone else have this game on the SNES? I had never seen this show aired in England but always used to rent the game out. I loved it!
I actually had the game when I was little and recently rebought it today. I can’t believe someone developer thought it was worthwhile making a game based on a 10 episode series.

I know right. I feel bad for the dog.
Cartoon with broken but loving family dynamic? Yep, that's Brad Bird's work.
This is one of the cutest shows I've ever seen I was glad they made into a series albeit brief

Same!!! I swear!!
I've seen a cartoon with these characters in the Amazing Stories collection. I didn't know Family Dog was its own separate series.
Omg! My brothers & sisters & I STILL do "inside jokes" & quotes from this! ❤️

Poor dog. All he wanted was something to drink!
thanks for posting i grew up watching this show!
I loved Skip he reminds me Eustace Stupid Dog
i remember watching this on tv in the 80's, still love it. they should have created more episodes
They should reboot it
Most people hated it back then therefore the ending
90's
I'm so glad I found this! No one else knew this show and I have been trying to look it up on and off for years!
Do you remeber the shorts in theater
80s baby’s version of Family Guy 😂
Oh my Odin! I loved this cartoon growing up. ❤️ Thanks so much for the upload.
I loved it as a kid too! Funny because I was just thinking about it this week!
Your welcome lol

@@SONPitbull1986 no
I have been looking for this cartoon FOR YEARS!!!!! Finally I found it!
YAY!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. It's so freakin cute and funny 🤣
It seems like the show is trying to be funny, but I just feel bad for the dog being stuck with this horrible family.
I am from brazil. 🇧🇷 I watched this show when i was a kid. I remember that are a SNes game too.
I’m in a different dimension where Family Guy never existed, it’s always been Family Dog here. And although Dog looks like Brian, the mom looks like Lois, there’s a strange feeling about the dad, he’s def no Peter Griffin. But all their voices sound as if they’re done with A.I.
This poor dog all he wants is a drink, and he can’t even get a single drop!
FINALLY A good quality video!!! Bless you! haha I was just telling my sister she needed to watch these.
your very much welcome :) I'm glad others enjoyed the show as much as I did when I was younger
Thank You. Subnoize. Didn't even hear of family dog until I finally (after all these years) watched Amazing Stories.
you welcome glad everyone's enjoying it
It feels so weird to see a tim burton show without anything spooky or dark yet keep his style, well up until 13:45 Halloween town must be nearby.

OMG I forgot about this show!
***** I almost did too.
As a kid i always felt bad for him in this episode because he just wanted some water and they didn't even understand that he wanted some water
Do you think they should reboot the show?
@@MorganNyeeh i mean i guess
@@dbzking510 if you become new director if they do make a reboot of the series, what would you do to this episode?
@@MorganNye make the dog have way better owners and make everything good
@@dbzking510alright
When my parents sold weed to the manager of video chest we got to watch cool demo tapes, this one was great!
Hey, Danny Mann! Loved him on Space Goofs!
omfg dude. I remember watching this as a kid
why isnt this show on DVD
I called my sister. “What was that cartoon that always made us laugh so hard?” Immediately: “Family Dog!” Now I’m here. Thank you!!!!
Billy looks like chucky from child's play😂😂
I loved this show as a kid, influenced my art style a lot.
Billy looks like Chucky.
Billy Binsfords looks like Chucky from Child's Play.
Krang100 proto-Chucky since the Amazing Stories episode premiered a year before Child's Play did
Various Nostalgic Classics from The Big Breakfast
The Chucky design for the son. 😶
dang, pretty short lived cartoon! i been looking for this for some time cuz i thought this never got released outside of broadcast
Poor Fellow Pup he must by very thirty
Always felt bad for the dog seem like everyone else ignored him. Animation is really good though wish this series would have made more episodes
Looks interesting 😊
There's a video game of this show, worth it
I remember these shorts in movie theater before it was made into a series .. quotes( the dogs wizzen on the carpet !)
I wish we could get downloadable versions of all these episodes

Design of family dog created by tim burton....love tim burton
Who remember a
Capital Critters as well.
I really wanted to know what's the music that plays on the TV at 6:42
I heard that same music on the Simpsons Tracey Ullman Short "Watching Television".
Organ, Circus
Thanks a lot :D
How did all of those different things show perfectly shaped credits? 🤔
Did that little boy look like an animated Chucky?
Since the original short of this was 1987 Amazing Stories movie could Billy be the reference for Chucky he sure looks the part. Childs Play was released 1988.
hamhockbeans That was the BEST! It was hard to watch the series, it just wasn't the same for me 🤐
I always thought there was a similarity between the boy & Chucky too.
Possibly (?)....
I loved this cartoon
ME... Too!! Lol
@@SONPitbull1986 maybe they can bring it back as a reboot on Disney channel or nick?
Ho…….ly……..Jesus
I was born in ‘81…….I can’t remember when I saw this the first time, but it stuck with me
If Chucky and Elvira were related in a multiverse
The theme song sounded similar to Back To School staring Rodney Dangerfield.
I saw this on a dvd before
Jeez I feel exhausted watching this. Poor little thing :(

Is it too much to ask for water?

Ooooooh all the 🐕 wants is a drink
Not to be confused with Family Guy
©️1993 Amblin Entertainment, Inc. Universal City Studios, Inc. and Warner Bros, Inc.
I think the show deserves a reboot but give the family a better personality (for example treating the dog better)
I feel the pain of the poor dog oh my goddd
Why does Billy look ikr chucky
Was there ever an episode 2? I don’t remember ever seeing more than one
Yes there is, obviously

The dog only wants to drink.
Was this on the Tracy Ullman show or liquid television ?
Please let this get a new 4K scan and Blu-ray release!

This was a segment of Amazing Stories

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
For some reason I have vague memories of this show being aired as a Twilight Zone episode, but I could be wrong
You're awfully close. The show originated as an episode of "Amazing Stories", which is Steven Spielberg's version of "The Twilight Zone".
***** Thanks! I remember watching Fish Police too, which I was a fan of at the time....But I was 11 or 12 too..
