Sketchy

February-Themed Black History Month is still going strong this week with 1992's "Bébé's Kids." Based on the Robin Harris stand-up bit, "Bébé's Kids" was the first cartoon movie to feature an African-American main cast. However, it was mainly picked for nostalgic reasons. Will it hold up for the guys? Will it be another Rock-A-Doodle? Perhaps. Listen and enjoy!

Sketchy kicks off its February-Themed Black History Month with the short-lived Fox series "The PJs."
