Featured review
Vintage John Candy.
I remember this one quite well. It used to air on NBC's Saturday Morning line-up back in the late 80's-early 90's, and later on Fox (Now ABC) Family. This cartoon featured John Candy in animated form operating a summer camp with an assortment of kids. There was your cool kid, your snobby kid, your athletic kid, your geeky kid, and your small fry kid (these are the kids I do recall were on this cartoon). Overall, this show was great. I hope they bring this one back, but knowing TV networks anymore, that sadly won't be likely.
This gets a 10/10.
