The bigwigs at CBS didn't want to risk creating a character and it not catching on so recycling popular characters from the past was the only was to get something greenlit. Imagine Tex Avery in his declining years pitching this crap.

In this episode, Mighty Mouse is sad/mad after staring at a picture of his lost love and getting beat up by a dragon. He pulls out a packet of powdered "flowers she had given him" pours it on the tail of the dragon he's fighting, snorts the flowers, picks the dragon up by the tail, spins it around a few times and launches it. Standards and Practices were not happy. The show was canceled shortly thereafter.
