Does anyone remember this one from 1991 (the only year it was on?) from ABC Sat morning? I used to like this show, but sadly, it couldn't really live up to the movies

Fievel's American Tails ran on CBS for one year on Saturday mornings. Universal had a nasty habit of turning their family films into short lived cartoons, then dumping them on video, never to be heard from again:

Back to the Future (two seasons)
Problem Child (less than a season)
Beethoven (one season)
Fievel's American Tails (one season)
Earthworm Jim - Less than two seasons ( I know it wasn't a movie, but it was a damn cool cartoon)

thanks for the info, i thought it was ABC, but i was mistaken. Your right TC (i feel like Benny from Top Cat now, lol)
Most of those universal movies which did well did have crappy cartoons. with the exception of Feivel and earthworm jim, i hated all of those cartoons.
