My Pet Monster was a popular children's television show that aired on ABC from 1987 to 1988. The show was based on a toy line of the same name, and it followed the adventures of a young boy named Max and his pet monster named Monster. The show was created by American Greetings Corporation and animated by Nelvana.

The story centered around Max, a young boy who finds Monster in his grandfather's attic. Monster is a large, furry, blue creature who has been trapped in a magical cage for centuries. Max breaks Monster free, and the two become instant friends. Max soon learns that Monster has a special power, and when he holds Monster's magic handcuffs, he is transported to Monsterland, a magical world where monsters live.

Every episode of My Pet Monster followed Max and Monster as they went on various adventures, both in the real world and in Monsterland. Along the way, they met a cast of colorful characters, including other monsters, Max's sister, his best friend, and a group of bullies who constantly tried to steal Monster away.

The show had a bright and colorful animation style that was popular in the 1980s. The characters were all drawn in a cute and cartoonish style, which made them instantly likable to young audiences. The show also had a catchy theme song, which became a hit with fans.

The voice cast for My Pet Monster was led by Stuart Stone, who voiced Max. Dan Hennessey provided the voice for Monster, and Alyson Court voiced Max's sister. Other notable voice actors included Colin Fox, Maxine Miller, Robert Cait, Noam Zylberman, Simon Reynolds, Sunny Besen Thrasher, Tara Strong, Tracey Moore, and Mary Long.

The show was a massive hit with young audiences, and it quickly became a beloved classic. However, the show only ran for one season, ending in 1988. A follow-up series called "My Pet Monster and Friends" was produced in 1989, but it was not as successful as the original show.

Despite only running for a short time, My Pet Monster left a lasting impact on pop culture. The show spawned a popular toy line, which is still remembered fondly by fans today. The show also had a spin-off comic book series, which ran for several years.

In conclusion, My Pet Monster was a beloved children's show that captured the hearts of young audiences in the late 1980s. The show's fun characters, exciting adventures, and memorable theme song made it a classic of its time. While the show only ran for one season, its impact on pop culture can still be felt today.
