She isn't built like a squirrel.  The limbs are all wrong, the tail is  
too pointy at the tip and too narrow at the base, the thighs are
not fat enough, nor the lower legs long enough, the forelimbs are too
long, and the face is very clearly musteline.  On the other hand, her
ears are a bit small for a terrestrial mustelid, skunks don't have
long, beautiful hair on their heads, nor white faces, and tend to
be rather fat and shuffling.   But I think she is extremely recognizable
as a skunk, regardless of coloring.

Me too. :-)  Not only that, but as a DYN I've never seen here before,
in "A Ditch in Time" (I think that was the one), in the scene where 
the four rabbits are sitting around the fire, right after they finish
their carrots, Cave Babs' skirt disappears.  (now there's someone you
want to see more of, eh?  :-)

Hey, we aren't the ones who drew Shirley naked, just the ones who

And that's like saying, "I saw Fritz the Cat whip out his dick and
piss on a cop.  So what?"  Just 'cuz they are toons doesn't mean
nudity is an every day occurrance for each of them.

Don't feel bad.  I have anywhere from a 3 to 7 day delay between when
messages are posted sometimes, with messages from the Left Coast and overseas
taking the longest.  Nature of the beast, I guess, although getting TTAUEG's

Oops, my mistake....
I stand corrected.  Kath Souci did play one of the three girls that was
after Gaston.  She is listed as playing "Bimbette".

(I thought she would have been good as the feather duster, though :-) )

Obvious Spoilers....


What the HELL was Paul Dini's name doing on this piece of trash, even
if he was listed third?

First, I imagine anyone not too familiar with SNL is going to miss a
hell of a lot of the references, and they just don't stand on their
own, except for the Samurai film critic (don't need to know about
Belushi) and the opening (everyone knows Bart).

SNL is so obviously a parody of itself at times... It's hard to parody
something that's self-consciously ridiculous.  Especially when they
can't come up with anything better than this.  Even Mr. Skully was
lame, for the first time.

One really bad part was the laugh track.  They used a standard sitcom
laugh track which sounds absolutely nothing like the SNL audience.
Very jarring.

Oh yeah, it's seeping through my shell-shocked brain... the
commercials weren't bad.  But nowhere near as good as the commercials
on the real thing (or other TTA commercials).

As the closing credit says....  "We thought this would be funny.  But
nooooooo!"   Exzackly my sentiments.  I would have loved to see a good
SNL takeoff.

1.  I don't understand why everyone is trashing the episode because it
was SO MUCH like SNL.  So what?  Many people know of SNL too.  Do we 
trash Washingtoon because foreign readers of a.t.t-t wouldn't understand
political references?
2.  I have never seen one episode of The Simpsons.  I saw enough of that 
drivel on the Tracey Ullman show, and cut it out when I taped Tracey.

Not often enough!  I loved this show, and I can't remember the last time
SNL parodied itself.

Yeah, but did you ever notice how the live SNL audience always laughs in
the same places during Hanz and Franz and all those other skits with the
same humor each week?

I swear, if you look at any of the panoramic views of the whole
party crowd, the guy standing in the back chatting with Fifi looks a
heck of a lot like me.  Unless he was intended to look like someone
else in particular, I'd guess that Shirley channeled my wish to the
animator's brain, and put me there.  Even if he was supposed to look like
someone else, the choice of someone who looks like me must have been
influenced by, like, karmic destiny, or some junk.  Seriously, it does
look like me.

\\\\\\|||//////

I will say this much for it.  It was true to the format of that show
that so many people fall asleep to on Saturday nights.  Including, had
this aired at 11:30 at night, the bit about falling asleep.

Yes, it was faithful indeed, right down to the humor level of the show.
In other words, uneven at best, and tending to get lamer as the show
progresses.  Although the Cornheads were pretty decent.  And Babsy-
Bunny-makin'-copies was, well, like I said, faithful to the original.

The slam on Bart Simpson was both well done and overdue.

Calamity's cue card, however, might easily be the best moment of the
show.  Until he ruined it by acting embarassed instead of begrudgingly
agreeing to show Blart his line.

Oh, yes, and the visuals during the "opening credits" were nice.

I can't believe they couldn't do Wayne and Garth.  Anything would have
been better than Plucky's stand-up routine, the ending of which
you could see, oh, it looked like five minutes away.

And unfortunately, Kevin Nealon in his first, struggling, "Oh God, I'm
filling Dennis Miller's shoes" spots, was still better than Buster.
Babs making a distraction of herself should have helped, but didn't.

Well, that's the review, and I am outta here.

Hmmmm...Say! I drew a "panning" scene in Hog Wild Hampton, where
Hampton (er,sorry--isn't that "Hamton"? Oh well) runs across
his living room and grabs Plucky("what are all these people

Didja notice though ... in "Weekday Afternoon Live", during the opening scene,
when Buster stands up to announce, "Live, from Acme Acres ...", the camera
angle is basically a crotch shot?  And there's Buster, as always, without
pants!
But then during the news segment, when Babs climbs onto the desk to kiss
Buster, she's wearing under her skirt not just panties but what look like
old-fashioned lacy bloomers!  If she's gotta wear underwear, why not at least
make it something more modern?  (Something from the Victoria's Secrets
catalogue?)
