Though the site’s maintainer has left it a little bit derelict, the unofficial web site of the Saturday morning cartoon/political spoof Lil’ Bill & Hill that ran for eight years contains a wealth of information about the show. It chronicled the (mis-) adventures of the pupils at White House Elementary on 1600 Pencilvania Avenue. All of the real Bill’s pals and cronies appear in kid form, including little George, Al, Janet and Messy Monica. The site has episode summaries for some of the show’s eight seasons (that’s 97 episodes!), fun facts about each of the main characters, and a gallery of collectibles from the show.

Which is fine and dandy, except that site creator David Friedman wrote everything. From scratch. There never was any show, despite his obvious devotion to it and extensive research. And despite the rumors, Charlie Brown never made a cameo appearance. That’s just not true.
