>>115784099i really dont see the problem, not all shows have to be serialized. a show inspired by the cartoons of the 30s should work like the cartoons of the 30s: separate stories that involve the characters in different scenarios and situations.
one episode had the Devil set up a carnival for taking souls, maybe in another he will be forced to ask C&M help for something, maybe in another he will trick people with a red guy "FREE TRAILER" scam.
are those ideas dumb? maybe, but a good writer can do wonders with something like that, and most importantly, helps develop the characters and helps people love them more.
