Watching Dr. Sam Beckett travel through time and save people’s lives was so epic. Each week we’d get a different sample of the lives of people from around the world, often so foreign from our own lives that we’d learn something new about culture, people, and life.

Without Tex Avery we’d have none of our favorite cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Droopy, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and a host of others. We’d also be years behind in the “do anything” department of animation. The crazy antics, cartoon physics, and quantum anomalies that are abound in cartoons may have never been realized if it weren’t for Tex Avery.
