Max discovers a rat and a cockroach who've been living in a fallout shelter for 30 years!
About the series:
A young mouse named Max is forced to flee his home on a farm in Nebraska after his family is killed by exterminators. He travels to Washington, D.C. to live with his hippie cousin Berkley, rebellious rat Jammet, and Jammet’s mother Trixie. Max also befriends a hip cockroach named Moze and a former laboratory rat named Muggle who still suffers from the side effects of the experiments he is put through that often have him exploding.
The group has to deal with the White House's resident cats, which are caricatures of then-President George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle!
Trivia:
This 1992 series was part of a spate of attempts by major networks to develop prime time animated shows to compete with the success of Fox's The Simpsons, alongside CBS's Fish Police (also produced by Hanna-Barbera) and Family Dog.
The latter two, along with Capitol Critters, proved unsuccessful and were quickly cancelled.
The episodes' themes reference current issues of the day, including gun control and drug abuse.
