INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:  This Reference Guide features the main credits for
each episode of TINY TOON ADVENTURES, including official production title,
first airdate, writers, directors, toon cast list, voiceover artists, 
animation houses, and -- of course -- the "gag" credit and end tag.  Also
to be found embedded within its depths are comments, gripes, praises,
noteworthy observations and other witty asides by the folks on Usenet's
alt.tv.tiny-toon.  Give 'em a hand, won't you ...

The Guide is best visualized in its four major parts:

1. Alphabetical Index of Episode Titles
2. Alphabetical Index of Shorts Titles
3. Chronological Listing of Episodes: First Season (1990-1991)
4. Chronological Listing of Episodes: Second Season (1991-1992)
5. Chronological Listing of Episodes: Third Season (1992-1993)

Episodes are listed according to first airdate on TINY TOON ADVENTURES in
the United States.  (Some episodes or shorts may have debuted prior to TTA
on THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW; TPDS airdate information is given in context of
the TTA listing.)  Indexes give TTA airdates as locations for looking up
a particular episode.

All episode titles are the official Warner/Amblin production titles.  Some
official titles may not actually appear in the episode (i.e. multi-shorts
episodes).  "a.k.a." names were christened by residents of Usenet's
alt.tv.tiny-toon in the absence of official titles at the time.

Because of the lengthy nature of the Guide, on-line browsing, while initially
fun and exciting, can become frustrating and cumbersome.  Use a text editor's
search command to jump straight to an episode or short title, guest star,
etc.; or better yet, print out the contents on hardcopy (the smaller the
font, the better) and staple together for an instant coffee-table book or
VCR library companion -- the indexes in the front will tell you an episode
or short's location, and the chronological listing will enable you to flip
right to it.

Any comments, error correction, criticisms, or general reports of citizens
in peril brought to the attention of the editor are most appreciated.

#152: PSYCHIC FUN-OMENON DAY 
First aired 11/7/90

[ The very opening scene of the circus shows:

Dizzy:  The World's Greatest Eater - Eats Anything!
Hamton: Thinnest Fat Guy in the World
Plucky: Flying Trapeze (but he's on a tightrope!?)
Gogo:   Non-Extinct Dodo
Elmyra: Bearded Lady  -JK ]

"Piece of Mind"
Written by Jim Reardon
Directed by Art Leonardi
[ Calamity, Beeper, Wile E. Coyote ]

"Class Cut Up"
Written by Earl Kress, Tom Ruegger
Directed by Art Leonardi
[ Hamton, Michigan J. Frog, Foghorn Leghorn, Granny, Bugs, Dr. Ann T. Dote
cameos: Gogo, everyone else at school ]

{ Although the a.t.t-t gang dismiss this short as a direct rip-off of "One
Froggy Evening", I think it's great.  Hamton's insane/psychotic looks always
get me shooting milk out of my nose ...  I particularly like Wang's loving 
attention to detail of making that frog look disgustingly limp and lifeless
as Hamton desperately tries to make it dance.  A great short.  -ed. }

"Rear Window Pain"
Written by Earl Kress, Jim Reardon
Directed by Art Leonardi
[Plucky, Shirley, Elmer, Buster, Babs  cameos: Elmyra, Granny, Mary Melody]

#149: THE WIDE WORLD OF ELMYRA (a.k.a. WEIRD WORLD OF THE WILD)
First aired 11/8/90

"Turtle Hurdle"
Written by Earl Kress & Tom Ruegger
Directed by Kent Butterworth
[ Elmyra, Tyrone Turtle, Michigan J. Frog  cameos: Buster & Babs, Yosemite Sam ]

"Drooley Davey"
Written by Tom Minton, Paul Dini & Beth Bornstein
Directed by Kent Butterworth
[ Elmyra, Davey ]

[ Check out the car's license plate as it leaves. This would have been a good
place for another Elmyra/Sneezer cartoon, IMHO. I'm envious of Davey because
of his Buster Bunny doll. It looks so much more realistic than the ones in the
stores ... This short represents a good data point in the ongoing debate of 
whether Elmyra is malicious or stupid.  -NS ]

"Go Fetch"
Written by Bob Carrau
Directed by Kent Butterworth
[ Elmyra, Barky  cameo: Hamton ]

[ Poor Barky. He's hooked on fetching, so he's forced into taking Elmyra's
abuse.  -NS ]

#155: A DITCH IN TIME 
First aired 11/9/90

{ Hey kids!  It's another Must See Episode(tm)!  -ed. }

Written by Wayne Kaatz, Art Vitello, Bruce Timm & Douglas McCarthy
Storyboards by Bruce Timm & Douglas McCarthy
Directed by Art Vitello
[ Buster, Babs, Hamton, Plucky, Monty, Dizzy, prehistoric versions of everyone
but Plucky, Elmyra  cameos: Shirley & Foghorn ]

[ Spielberg sure has a thing about time. I bet he either had a bit to do with
this one, or they did it as a homage.

Note the "ILM" order forms as Plucky falls through time.  { Or, as someone
else pointed out, they might be *bills* for all the time vortex SFX  -ed. }

The whole medieval bit is probably the best sub-plot scene of the whole
season.

In short, this one has just about as many laughs-per-inch as KACME TV.  -NS ]
