Answer: Instant Martians

Just add water and watch them grow, kinda like giant evil Chia pets.

Part of this cartoon's demise has to do with the fact that Taz retained his limited vocabulary. It's very hard to have a show whose star only speaks in mumbles, grunts and other assorted gibberish.

Unfortunately, he chose Bugs as that creature and wherever Bugs goes hilarity follows.
