Season one ( 1990 - 91 ) was produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on CBS , starring the voices of Keanu Reeves , Alex Winter , and George Carlin returning to their movie roles. Season two ( 1991 - 92 ) was produced by DIC Entertainment , and aired on Fox Kids , starring the voices of Evan Richards , Christopher Kennedy , and Rick Overton , the actors who respectively portrayed Bill, Ted, and Rufus on the short-lived live-action series of the same name on Fox . The show continued the interaction with historical figures—Julius “The Salad Dressing Dude” Caesar, Wolfgang Amadeus “Wolfman” Mozart, and many others—taking the teens to several historical spots in each half-hour episode. A new plot twist was the boys’ helping keep history in its place (building the Sphinx, inspiring Henry Ford to build the first car, etc.) The show also carried on the film’s cheeky attitude toward history, with episode titles like, “This Babe Ruth ‘Babe’ is a Dude, Dude!” For the second season, DIC took over production and the show moved to Fox. Reeves, Winter, and Carlin left the show and were replaced by the stars of Fox’s new live-action primetime Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. The new episodes introduced a “Squint” phone booth that could take Bill and Ted into literature, television shows, and (after shrinking them) inside the human body. The new show had trouble catching on, and after one more season, Bill and Ted was cancelled. EXTERNAL LINKS |
