and the Family Dog episode - it was far funnier than any of the actual Family Dog series, and seemed strangely similar to Bart simpson's encounter with a dog-training school, which came first???


It's funny. I was just telling someone about the original Family Dog episode. Two names on that one you should be familiar with; Tim Burton (who designed it) and Brad Bird (who directed).

Yeah, the Amazing Stories Family Dog segment predates The Simpsons. I think the Family Dog "series" got greenlit because of the success of The Simpsons.
