The cartoon CBS never aired
CBS made a full season of Garbage Pail Kids for the autumn 1987 Saturday line-up, promoted it, and then cancelled it the Friday before it was due to start, after complaints from parents' groups and advertisers backing away. The thirteen episodes went out in the UK and other countries instead. American viewers had to wait for the DVD in 2006.
