Brad Dharma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brad Dharma, fully named Brad Dharma, Psychedelic Detective was an animated series that appeared on the first season of Liquid Television on MTV in 1991. The series was created by John Moynihan, who also worked on the Nickelodeon series Doug.

Dharma, voiced by Dick Rodstein, was a private detective who lived in Timbuktu sometime in the near future. The city is very heavily populated (30 million people) and apparently ruled by an elite called the "Hipster Elders". Dharma is depicted as a trench coat and fedora wearing man with long, stringy hair and eyes that appear, like Little Orphan Annie's to have no pupils. He seems to have psychic abilities. The plotline is somewhat confusing but appears to pit Dharma against corrupt public officials and a mysterious organization called The Beelzebub Brotherhood.
