The cultural relevance of Back to the Future is indisputable. Not only did the 1985 classic film utterly change the way we talk about time travel stories, but the film trilogy also, somehow, became one of the most unique sci-fi trilogies of all time — one that is so perfect that it has oddly avoided spinoffs, remakes, and reboots.
That is, except for one very specific odd case. In 1991, just one year after the release of Back to the Future Part III, an animated sequel series called Back to the Future hit CBS, which told the further timey-wimey adventures of Doc Brown, Clara Clayton, Marty McFly, plus Jules and Verne Brown, Doc and Clara’s sons briefly glimpsed at the end of Part III. Was this show any good? Well, the answer to that question is a qualified no, but that’s not for lack of trying.
