I don't think the copyright date really means a lot.  The date depends on the
end tag:

   1990:  Aloha!, Say Goodnight, And that's a wrap, Plucky, Gogo
   1991:  Byron, Furrball, Fifi, Dizzy, Elmyra, ( & Little Plucky)

I think that they just append the tag on with the copyright and (tm) text
intact, which explains the varying and seemingly incorrect copyright dates.

If the production codes are any indication of production order, then there
would be 1991 dated shows produced before 1990 dated shows.  (could this
be possible?)

Hmmmm....

Lessee. Plucky's too self-centered. Hamton's too uptight. Couldn't have a
conversation with Diz, Lil' Beeper, or Calamity. Fowlmouth is just stupid,
Max is obnoxious, ditto Arnold. I do like Furrball, but more in a maternal
sort of way; I'd like to give him a nice warm place to sleep and a lot of
kitty crunchies.

That leaves Buster, who *is* awfully cute, I must say, but a little young
for me, and he has that darn problem with commitment.  Besides, if I drooled
after him, Babs would hurt me.

Le sigh. Le really big sigh.

Well, I bought a SuperSoaker 200 today.  Not bad; all I have to do is write
"ACME" above the SuperSoaker label and *presto*, it's close enough!  Any 
pink bunnies around to try it on???  (I've even put some of the stickers I
got with HISMV on the top of the water bottles)


And.... I just finished my very, very, very *last* class today.  Two finals
next week and then I are no longer an undergraduate student.  8-)  Now I 
can join the ranks of the USENET-less unemployed!  Unless I can think up
a way to keep my account... Hmmm, there's always Masters.

Other things:

I thought Belle was loosely modeled on Paige O'Hara and Gaston on Richard
White.  I could see definite resemblances during the production at the
Academy Awards.  (I'd kill to have a voice like Richard White's)

I understand completely.  I've been writing an R:BASE application for the past
few weeks (which is even worse than using BASIC) and have been scattering 
Tiny Toon references throughout the documentation.  Probably nobody else will
understand to what I'm referring, but I'm not doing it for their benefit.
The last main chunk of code lies ahead of me.  Robert's Letterman take-off has
inspired me to write the documentation of the entire thing as a Tiny Toon narration.
If I think it's at all funny when I'm done I'll post the salient bits.  
I'm looking forward to seeing your exam.  Even if it is *shudder* stats.

Oh, sure, I finally get to start posting and Sally leaves.  Have to do something

Dear fellow Toonsters,

        I have a question to ask that has been causing me a lot of guilt
since I started reading this newsgroup...

        Is is possible to like both Disney features *and* Warner Bros.
cartoons?

        I must confess, I loved BATB and TLM and SW and P and F and
even that silly one with Billy Joel as a dog. However, I admit that
I don't watch these films for their comic content.
        When I want something funny, I watch TTA or HISMV!


        Is This Wrong?????????

That's it?  That's all you are going to say?  KTTV preempts the best cartoon
in the whole world, and you just sit back and casually talk about it?!?  Well
excuse me if I follow in P. J.'s footsteps and say:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

They'd been nice for the last few weeks, getting the trial over with about 4:30
or 4:45, getting the commentary over with by 5, showing us our Tiny Toons.
But on Monday, during ACME Cable TV (one of the better second season episodes)
they run long.  I mean real long.  At 5:10, they were swearing in a witness!!
To think that I'm going to have to wait another few months to see "GoGosby",
"Tooneywood Squares", and "Excuse me, are those Bungle Boy jeans you're
wearing?" "I'm not wearing any jeans," just make me want to scream (oh, yeah,
I already did).  And today, the "commentary" cut into TTA a few minutes, and
I missed the best line in the entire episode ("Another cameo, another
paycheck").  I WANT MY TINY TOONS BACK!!

p.s.  The above post is only looking for sympathy and pity.  Any cracks about
having episodes on tape will be dealt with severely (I'm borrowing the Death
Star for about a week).

I disagree. First, just because they did a take-off once, doesn't mean they
won't do it again, in a different way. Second, the title seems to me to be an
obvious parallel to The Wonder Years. On the other hand, if it were really
trying to be a full parody of TWY, it would have had more voice-overs 
throughout, rather than just at the beginning and the end. My guess is,
they used the TWY parody to attempt to tie a Baby-Plucky based episode
in with the rest of the series.

I am one of the silent 15000 alt.tv.tiny-toon toonsters up to now!

I broke down and bought the cassette tape.  It is of very high audio
quality for a store bought.

The Main Theme is a redone, where they "are invading your CD".
I hope  this implies that WB will release a CD version.

Oh yes, all the lyrics are included inside the tape case.

I loved the Tiny Toon Rap!

Gagged at Buster singing "Don't worry be happy"

The Dizzy song is great too.

The rest are okay.

Is it worth it?  YES!!! 


Now that I figured out hopefully how to submit stuff, I promise not to
be silent anymore.

Did anyone else eat Tiny Toon Breakfast cerial this morning???

Very simple.  It reminds everyone too much of "Muppet Babies" et al ad
nauseum, the genre of cartoon many of us (myself included) are extremely
glad TTA is not strictly a part of.

Maybe that's a bit unfair.  And it doesn't explain why something like
"Piece of Mind" (Calamity) doesn't get lambasted similarly.  Maybe
the average TTA-fan's tolerance for this sort of thing runs out at
about 30 seconds.  Or maybe the advance warning we had of this short
(as I recall, reports on the net from the Con where that particular
short was announced were met with dead silence) might have caused a little
prejudice.

Hmm.  Did I say "very simple"?

Summary: I'm so funny I amuse myself

> I'm so funny I amuse myself.

I love it!  But, I say "I'm so funny, I amuse even myself";
as a pun on the original quote "I'm so funny, I amaze even myself."
Don't remember what that's from though, do you?  It's got to be some piece
of comedy, that's the only kind of movies I ever watch!

I'll be happy to post a copy of my exam (after I administer it to my unsuspecting
classes).  All I can say is that it is darn tough to write Tiny-Toonesque stuff
when you know your audience probably has little or no frame of reference.  Oh
well, I did write it for my enjoyment really.
