The Dick and Paula Celebrity Special is an adult animated series that aired on FX in 1999.
[4] The guest list included Charles Darwin, Marquis de Sade, Oedipus Rex, and Lewis and Clark, among many others.
The series, like Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, the first season of Home Movies, and Science Court, was animated in Squigglevision, a computer animation technique that caused the edges of people and important objects to vibrate constantly.
Also like those series, Dick and Paula utilized retroscripting, in which a basic outline is given and the actors improvise the dialogue.
In January 2000, Animation World News announced that the other seven episodes would air in March, including these highlights: "The first sighting of The Blair Witch as she discusses her 10K Run for Testicular Cancer Awareness; Joan of Arc talks about hearing voices and what she looks for in a man; Roman emperor Nero reminisces about his wild days of partying and discusses his current job as a greeter at Caesar's Palace; Satan explains his side of the falling out with God and tries to possess someone in the audience; and ventriloquist Jim Stank argues with his wife, Rochelle, a ventriloquist dummy.
