This week's Saturday Cartoons brings us Brainy Smurf. One of the most featured characters on the long-running Smurfs cartoon (and even longer-running international Smurfs franchise), Brainy was the classic "know-it-all" who was almost always wrong. Without doing an episode by episode verification to be sure of this, it seemed like Brainy was at least somewhat heavily involved in more episode plots than most of the other Smurfs.

Occasionally Brainy was portrayed as trying to find personal advantages in certain circumstances, but usually he meant well but tended to overthink everything to the point of being fairly useless. Still, he was one of the most memorable and entertaining of all the Smurfs.
