  Well, comments on comments for TOON TV, anyway...

  "The Nutcracker Suite", a.k.a. "The Video Game Blues".

  I can't. Plucky was inept.  B-)  Adult toonsters provide their own quarters,
anyway.  B-)

  I think Plucky's spaceship was designed on the Amiga of one of the TTA
animators (I know the net's own Jenny Lerew provided the details), but I don't
any sequences were actually rendered with the Amiga.

  Painfully, too. I guess I'll never like "The Name Game", no matter who
sings it. And what the heck did Star Wars have to do with anything?

  Just wanted to repeat myself here: Too commercial.

  Yeah. It's getting to be lots of fun watching Buster this season, which
leads me to ask if he's gonna take the top prize in the Season 3
alt.tv.tiny-toon poll for "Most Improved Character, Third Season"...

  Talk to Paul Osze.  B-)

  See my post ont he subject. It's around here somewhere.

  No. The X-MEN animated series won't premiere until January '93.
