1. This drama featured music by Jan Hammer, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Glenn Frye, Don Henley, Sheena Easton, Mitch Ryder, James Brown, and Tina Turner, just to name a few.

3. Ok, think animated animal friends from the '50s and '60s. Now add the fact that it was a cartoon for kids but the puns, satire, and double entendres had adults watching too.
