11. Foofur
Foofur was a cartoon about the everyday misadventures of the skinny blue titular bloodhound in the town of Willowby.
In the series, Foofur inherited his dead master’s mansion, opened it up as a home for strays, then lived with the constant threat of being evicted by greedy lawyer Mr. Escrow – and it covered “lighthearted” topics like poverty, homelessness and the class war. Fun, right?!
It lasted two seasons, totalling twenty-six depressing episodes.
