Nightmare Ned, as it actually aired, was an extremely watered down version from it's original concept. Nightmare Ned was too dark to be successfully suitable for Saturday morning cartoon fare. The world which animator Walt Dohrn had originally created for Ned and his nightmares, was far darker, and more grotesquely stylized than the version that made it to TV. Had this property been sold to a cable network like "Comedy Central," where it's darkly sinister, gruesome nature could more fully be realized, no doubt the series might still be running.
