How did a modest Russian boy who couldn't even draw a circle end up being one of the cornerstones of Cartoon Network as a Master Storyteller? All great journeys have a humble beginning to their adventure, and this man is no exception.

Today BDubs examines the highs and lows of the legacy that makes Genndy Tartakovsky such a remarkable man in not just Cartoon Network history but Animation history too. You might find out he's worked on shows you may not have expected, but definitely watched growing up in the 90s-Now. From Star Wars to Batman, this man has done it all, and yet, he continue to animate and produce new projects today.

Zoinks! Did you see that crazy ghost with the red rear?

I'd imagine The Red Guy would scare Shaggy silly if they ever met. For Halloween, BDubs hitches a ride with the Mystery Machine with his trusty candy pail and sporting his best human being costume as he compares not one but TWO spooky 90s Cartoon Network crossover episodes: Johnny Bravo's "Bravo Dooby-Doo" and Cow & Chicken's "Halloween with Dead Ghost Coast to Coast". It's an odd pairing, to say the least, but the exercise will reveal many elements of each that you may not have considered upon watching them for the first time.

Which one will bewitch us with their creepy concepts? Kick back with me in front of the TV under a stormy night - things are about to get spooky.

Quick, girls! The City of Townsville is in Danger!

This place sure has a lot of trouble brewing between its buildings, but luckily Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup know how to handle anything thrown their way.

In this episode, BDubs takes a tour through the sprawling metropolis to see which episodes still pack a punch in our Top 10 countdown list. Plus, we've got honorable mentions, memories of watching the show for the first time, and a breakdown of why this Craig McCracken cartoon still matters today.
