I would watch it everyday after school. You, Mr. Taylor(sorry to hear of his passing), and the rest did an outstanding job.<br /><br />I do wish a couple characters could've stayed; Debbie (Max's cousin from Leader of the Pack) and Ms. Pennypacker (Max's principle or Guidance Counselor from Date with Destiny). I would've loved to see Debbie trying to babysit Pistol and possibly acting like a big sister. With Ms. Pennypacker, I was glad to see Goofy possibly being dating someone. Max possibly getting a mother-figure and Peg with a gal pal would've been a bonus.<br /><br />I do have a few questions I hope you can answer.<br />1. What were Peg and Pistol? It's assumed they were cats since Pete and P.J. were cats in a world of dog-based people.<br />2. Does Ms. Pennypacker have a first name?<br />3. Is Debbie's last name Goof?<br /><br />Sorry for the long post. Thanks for all the work you put in on a favorite show of mine from my childhood.ThaManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404428321380396251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-17808015870809883342016-07-28T02:19:36.919-07:002016-07-28T02:19:36.919-07:00Thank you Bob for writing and sharing your comment...Thank you Bob for writing and sharing your comments. You and (the other Bob) Taylor were a joy to work with. I was crushed when he passed too. I was trying to get him to join me on a Disney Afternoon panel but he was too ill. I made very sure to mention him frequently that night and to make sure he got the credit he deserved for his outstanding contributions.mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-46993784752908281882016-07-28T02:16:20.023-07:002016-07-28T02:16:20.023-07:00I'm glad you enjoyed Goof Troop Zidders and I ...I'm glad you enjoyed Goof Troop Zidders and I appreciate your writing me to let me know.

I still love it and have so many fond memories of watching it. Same with the movies. I miss it so much. I want to say thank you so much for all the joy you brought into my life thanks to this show. It changed my life in a profound way and I will forever be grateful.

It was a very sad day when I heard Bob passed. I was trying to get him to move to Charlotte, but his health, family and friends didn't really allow for that.The Richardson Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228150307173893821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-68492972135910241942010-10-08T14:15:34.661-07:002010-10-08T14:15:34.661-07:00Welcome aboard Mesterius.

I barely touched on the many "faces" of Goof Troop that were created during development. It was even crazier than I've let on, lol.<br /><br />"Party Animal" was the original pilot and as you said only aired once. PJ is scared about his bad report card and so goes nuts living the day like it may be his last because he's afraid his dad (Pete) will go ballistic when he gets home. Of course he enlists the help of Max to enliven the antics. <br /><br />Many times pilots are not exactly what we see in the final series but still has all the underlying parts. I don't know why they don't just include it as a bonus on DVD. I know some of the Disney management teams read this blog so maybe your interest will help spur just that.mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-59161364013745556372010-10-06T10:28:04.586-07:002010-10-06T10:28:04.586-07:00New reader of the blog, but I have to say that Goo...New reader of the blog, but I have to say that Goof Troop is probably my favorite of all the late 80s/early 90s Disney Afternoon series (yes, I place it above Ducktales). Great to read about its development, and I'm glad you managed to steer the concept towards family life rather than the toontown idea. This show is actually a very funny sitcom... far funnier than many live-action sitcoms from the same period:)<br /><br />One thing I've been wondering about, by the way... I recently heard that Disney originally produced a pilot episode of Goof Troop named 'Party Animal', which was only aired once in April of 1992 and has never been syndicated with the rest of the series. Would you possibly know where to find/watch this episode? I would love to see the initial start of the series...Mesteriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285238124626733583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-11011994816497384432010-09-24T07:57:39.203-07:002010-09-24T07:57:39.203-07:00Always a great way to start the day Daniel, by rea...Always a great way to start the day Daniel, by reading one of your comments, lol.

I was impressed at the quality of character animation their were able to include in many of the episodes. The background design was wonderful. I'm just happy to have had a part in its creation.<br /><br />-Mikemike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-90617664050696310492010-09-21T15:43:53.611-07:002010-09-21T15:43:53.611-07:00"Goof troop" was a good show!
