The series focuses on the relationship between single father Goofy and his son, Max, as well as their neighbors Pete and his family. The main series of 65 episodes aired in first-run syndication from 1992 to 1993 on The Disney Afternoon programming block. A Christmas special was also produced, which aired in syndication in late 1992.
Goof Troop bears similarity to several early-1950s Goofy cartoon shorts. It was the creation of Michael Peraza Jr., and pitched to Disney management as a last minute idea to fit the title.
