Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures is an animated television series following the misadventures of two time-travelling slackers as they travel into the distant past and future. It was based on the 1989 film, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. After the animated series was cancelled, it was supplanted by a live action version of the same name.

Overview

Season 1 (1990) was produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on CBS, starring the voices of Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, George Carlin, and Bernie Casey reprising their movie roles. The first season was the last Hanna-Barbera show to premiere on CBS.

Season 2 (1991) was produced by DiC Entertainment, and aired on Fox Kids, starring the voices of Evan Richards and Christopher Kennedy, the actors who respectively portrayed Bill and Ted on the short-lived other live-action series of the same name on FOX. 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.

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!”
