Check out For Better or For Worse animated series

1 minute 8 comments

I wasn’t aware there was an animated series of Lynn Johnston’s For Better or For Worse.

Here’s the beginning and ending credits. I’m quite impressed about how Lynn-esque it is. They really kept the show in line with the spirit and look of the strip.

Here’s an episode:

The series lasted two seasons (eight episodes each) in 2000.

  1. Ditto Alan – seems like it was a really good animation of the strip.

  2. It looks exactly like the comic strip! I’m impressed.

  3. One of the best features of this series was seeing Lynn drawing her characters. A real treat. Though it only lasted 2 seasons, it’s lived on via reruns … at least, here in Canada 🙂

  4. In the second animation, I wonder who came up with “C. Butts” on the janitor’s door? (At 3:50 in the video.)

  5. “For Better or For Worse” was animated a few times. There were various specials before the series, too.

  6. I always like to see what the characters sound like. You know, to see if what I am hearing in my head all these years matches up.

  7. I remember watching some animated half hour FBOFW episodes around 1993/1994 , does anybody know of these?

  8. I seem to remember “For Better Or For Worse” specials having aired on the Disney Channel back when it was a pay-TV service. Interesting the TV show never aired here in America though I’m sure that strip has had a solid following over the years.
