I was wondering if someone could tell me the name of this one cartoon show, which I used to watch often as a child. Here's what I remember: 1. it was made by disney
2. most of the main characters were raccoons.
3. There was a bert raccoon, who was a bit of a goof, and a ralph racoon, who ran a paper.
4. during the latter eppys, Ralph's bro and family came to live in that forest.....
5. Some of the characters were pink creatures with noses shaped like an L lying face down
6. Ralph had a wife.
7. cartoon was filled with 80's music
8 one of the pink creatures was a rich, greedy guy,
9 this rich guy had a nephew, who had a girlfriend.
10. the greedy guy had pigs as henchmen ( ??)
11. the nephew was a nerdy guy, with glasses,
I would also like to get the names of the characters. It's just that I've been racking my brain and I can't seem to remember much, everythough I used to watch this show so often as a child.

I don't think it was by Disney, but you're thinking of the originally named "The Racoons". Although the star was bert.
The bad guy was Cyrill Snear, an aadvark-thingy. His nephew was Cedrix. They got to wear the least clothes.
The pigs were his henchmen, and were great. The best thing in the cartoon.
Cyril himself was a bit like a nastier, slightly more amoral Scrooge McDuck. Ralph's paper was forever reporting wicked anti-tree-hugging-hippy-crap that Cyril got up to. There was someone else in the series who was actually richer than Cyril, but I can't remember his name.
There was also two dogs. One who stoof upright and talked, and his son, who walked around on all fours and acted like, well, a dog. I didn't get it.
It wasn't a bad cartoon. Not as good as Rescue Rangers, which was on at the same time (at least over here), but you can't have everything. And it did have one of those cheesy 80s end themes, called "run with us", and i can actually remember how it goes, horribly enough.
