Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures was an animated television series following the misadventures of two time-travelling slackers as they travel into the distant past and future. It was based on the 1989 film, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Season one (1990-91) was produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on CBS, starring the voices of Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and George Carlin returning to their movie roles. Season two (1992-93) was produced by DIC Entertainment, and aired on Fox Kids, starring the voices of Evan Richards and Christopher Kennedy, the actors who respectively portrayed Bill and Ted on the short-lived live-action series of the same name on Fox. The new episodes introduced a “Squint” phone booth that could take Bill and Ted into literature, television shows, and (after shrinking them) inside the human body. The new show had trouble catching on, and after one more season, Bill and Ted was cancelled.

The show continued the interaction with historical figures—Julius “The Salad Dressing Dude” Caesar, Wolfgang Amadeus “Wolfman” Mozart, and many others—taking the teens to several historical spots in each half-hour episode. A new plot twist was the boys’ helping keep history in its place (building the Sphinx, inspiring Henry Ford to build the first car, etc.) The show also carried on the film’s cheeky attitude toward history, with episode titles like, “This Babe Ruth ‘Babe’ is a Dude, Dude!”

No DVD release of the series is planned, though the first episode of the first season was released as a special feature on the Bill and Ted's Most Excellent Collection box set.
