The newspaper comic strip ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'' (1979–2008; still existing in reprint form) by Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston was rather popular from the start, with its ongoing, real-time portrayal of family life as experienced by the Patterson family of Milborough, Ontario. In the 1980s and 1990s, {{Animated Adaptation}}s of comic strips were commonplace. Naturally, that extended to FBORFW, all of them produced in Canada.

The first was a one-off from Creator/AtkinsonFilmArts called ''The Bestest Present'', aired on Creator/{{HBO}} on December 19, 1985, as well as Creator/{{CTV}}. It tells an original Christmas story centered on the Pattersons. Lynn's own children, Aaron and Katie, provided the voices of Michael and Elizabeth, and Rod Johnston made a cameo appearance, providing the voice of a mailman.
Beginning in 1992, another Ottawa-based studio, Creator/LacewoodProductions, produced six more specials, also for Creator/{{CTV}}. In the United States, these were seen on Creator/DisneyChannel. According to Lynn Johnston, the set designs (for instance, for the Pattersons' house) required by these and subsequent TV programs led her to develop a much more sophisticated background style in the comic strips.
The six specials produced by Lacewood were:
#The Last Camping Trip (July 1992)
#The Christmas Angel (December 1992)
#The Good-for-Nothing (Halloween) (November 1992)
#A Valentine from the Heart (March 1993)

There are three ‘tiers’ of FBORFW animations. The first was a one-off called The Bestest Present,aired on HBO on December 19,1985. It tells an original Christmas story centered around the Pattersons. Lynn's own children, Aaron and Katie, provided the voices of Michael and Elizabeth, and Rod Johnston made a cameo appearance as the voice of a mailman.
Beginning in 1992, another Ottawa-based studio, Lacewood Productions, produced six more specials, also for CTV. In the United States, these were seen on The Disney Channel. According to Lynn Johnston, the set designs (for instance, for the Patterson's house) which these and subsequent TV programs required led her to develop a much more sophisticated background style in the comic strips, with the layouts of homes and even towns consistent from story to story.

The newspaper comic strip For Better or For Worse (1979-2008:still exists in rerun form) by Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston was rather popular from the start,with its ongoing,real time portrayal of family life as experienced by the Patterson family of Milborough,Ontario. In the 80s and 90s,animated adaptations of comic strips were commonplace. Naturally,that extended to FBORFW.
There are three ‘tiers’ of FBORFW animations. The first was a one-off called The Bestest Present,aired on HBO on December 19,1985. It tells an original Christmas story centered around the Pattersons. Lynn's own children, Aaron and Katie, provided the voices of Michael and Elizabeth, and Rod Johnston made a cameo appearance as the voice of a mailman.
Beginning in 1992, another Ottawa-based studio, Lacewood Productions, produced six more specials, also for CTV. In the United States, these were seen on The Disney Channel. According to Lynn Johnston, the set designs (for instance, for the Patterson's house) which these and subsequent TV programs required led her to develop a much more sophisticated background style in the comic strips, with the layouts of homes and even towns consistent from story to story.
The six specials produced by Lacewood were:
The Last Camping Trip (July 1992)
The Christmas Angel (December 1992)
The Good-for-Nothing (Halloween) (November 1992)
A Valentine from the Heart (March 1993)
The Babe Magnet (a.k.a. The Sweet Deal) (September 1993)
A Storm in April (June 1997)
In 2000, Ottawa's Funbag Animation produced a new animated series for cable TV network Teletoon, which began airing on November 5, 2000,and ran until December 16, 2001. Featuring introductions by Lynn Johnston herself, the show looked at three related storylines from three different eras of the strip—the mid-1980s, the early 1990s, and the late 1990s.
The series consisted of two seasons with eight episodes each,each episode centered around a ‘theme’.
