  THE CALIFORNIA RAISINS.  Were they a cartoon or claymation?  I don't 
remember an animated series, but i think they were an advertising 
campaign for, erm, California raisins.  My Granny, who sometimes gives 
very cool gifts (muted blue hoodies-- zip up hooded sweatshirts, that 
is-- and the like), once sent my younger brothers California Raisins 
shirts when I was in the fourth grade.  Maybe because she lived in 
California (in the same suburb of LA as Tina Yothers of FAMILY TIES) at 
the time?  why am I telling you people this?  I'm embarassed now.
