Dennis the Menace (1986 TV series)

Dennis the Menace is an 1986 cartoon American animated series produced by General Mills, based on the original comic strip by Hank Ketcham.

The series was originally aired in syndication in the U.S., distributed by General Mills. The first season aired in syndication. Each half-hour show consists of three six or seven minute shorts. The show was sponsored by General Mills.

In the newspaper cartoon and comic book series, Dennis's parents were aggressive towards him, usually forcing him to sit in the corner whenever he was caught into mischief. However, in the cartoon series, Dennis almost never got punished, and any consequences he received were nowhere near as harsh. This format may be due to U.S. laws enacted by the 1970s forbidding aggressive behavior in any form from being shown on Saturday morning cartoons and all children's programming.
