SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO

In 1982, Pac-Man: The Animated Series became the first television show ever built around a video game character, arriving on ABC just months after federal deregulation opened the door for merchandise driven cartoons to dominate Saturday mornings. David is joined by guest host Ryan Shepherd, filling in for Rob, to trace how Hanna Barbera chased the rights for two years, how a wrong number cast the show's lead voice actor, and how the series' surprise success set off a wave of competing cartoons across the television industry. Join us as we head back to Pac Land to find out how a regulatory loophole and a beloved arcade character changed children's television forever, on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
