Don't feel too bad, Sally.  My wife usually reads this newsgroup over my
shoulder and offers her own comments.  Since I am at work, I'll have to
ask the question I'm sure she would ask.  (Were she here...)

So, which character *do* you drool over?

If I remember, I will ask her opinion tonite.

  So let's see. The churches of the House of Disney are immaculate, clean to
a fault both in the ceremonies and everyone's behavior. All members of the
congregation must wear their black ears indoors, and to end each week's
services, the Head Mouse leads the choir in a rousing chorus of "It's A
Small World After All". For some reason, each sermon takes an
hour-and-a-half to deliver, and no one minds standing through the entire
thing.

  In contrast, across town at the Warren of Warner Bros., it's come-as-you-
please, with an unwritten trend to wear a button featuring your favorite
'toon on your outfit. Mostly it's less of a religious service and more of a
crowd of fun-seekers, though the "Plucky vs. Babs" issue comes up every now
and then, and the Director has to keep a fray from breaking loose. The
service lasts as long as the crowd wants to keep it going, and the ending
hymm depends on which song gets the most votes from the congregation that
week.

  (I'm sorry, this just came to mind all of a sudden...  'sides, it was

Wellll, I think even if they spliced out every piece of Fifi from HISMV
(why they'd do such a thing, I can't imagine), it'd still be the best
thing around.  But that's stretching it.

You think maybe some of the stuff in Acme Cable was cut from KACME, that
is, was *produced* back in '90, but didn't get aired until '92?  That
could explain the copyright date, too.  Just which parts are KACME cuts
I see no way of telling, which is a good thing.

>Gogo may not be the last dodo.  He had a family in "The Gogosby Show."

Gogo, remember, can split up at will into copies of himself.  True,
in this case there are several *full-sized* Gogo clones, but they're
still all Gogo (kind of like John DeLancie and Corbin Bernsen are both Q).

>Would Elmyra's brain taste as good as mayonaise on a piece of toast?

Elmyra has a brain the size of a peanut.  *THEREFORE* her brain is made
of peanut butter.  So it would probably taste better.  Either that or
it would taste like paint.  In which case it would depend on how much
you like mayo.

Sheez, it took them a whole season to "notice" it, and now they can't

Hello.....
I am new to this whole system and I am not sure if such a post
belongs here, but what the hey.
Has anybody else noticed that the classic Looney Tunes are being
censored on commercial television?  Another person I spoke to
about this heinous topic said that it has been going on since the
early eighties, but I have only noticed it recently.  Why are they 
being censored?  Who is doing the censoring?
I should explain that I feel these are classics of animation not to
be meddled with.

Um, oops?  That's how bad the tape was.  It scrambled my brain.

Why, o why didn't I listen when TTAUC so *thoughtfully* warned us?
[Parental advisory: Not up to usual high standards!]  *sigh*

ACME Cable and the beginning of HISMV (up to ``...alert.'') restored
my flagging spirit.  (Then I got to play Elmyra and do my Spring

cleaning?  I didn't notice this until I was done.  *sigh*)

  I like the new "younger" look. I use this as definite proof that TMS
changed their animation style slightly between the first and second seasons.
I also use the look of the 'toons in HISMV as evidence that it was animated
in the first-season style.

  Go and compare TMS' toons on any of the second-season episodes that aired on
TV, and compare them to either Tokyo's animation/character designs in the
first-season episodes, or HISMV. Distinguishing characteristics in the second
season include shorter/smaller bunnies and the end of "lips falling off the
face" (very evident in TINY TOON MUSIC TELEVISION, but no longer present in
second-season Tokyo). There are some very subtle changes between the first and
second-season TMS looks, but they are there if you know what to watch for.

  Bottom line: I like the new look.

  I'd put ACME CABLE TV slightly above K-ACME TV for the better animation --
same humor level, better art. I would rate ACTV even higher, but I agree that
"Incredible Discoveries" took a little too long to run.

  (Also IMO: "Babsie and Buswinkle", "The Toonywood Squares", and "The Gogosby
Show" were the best bits on the box)

This is one of the friendlies and closest-knit newgroups on Usenet (rather
bizarre phenomenon, really. :-)  Perhaps he was using the word "flame-war"
wrongly, and instead referring to how this group as a whole seems to be
very anti-Disney.  This would dovetail with a reference made recently on
rec.arts.animation about how a.t.t-t doesn't give other cartoons the time
of day, particularly Disney cartoons.  Personally I give other works much
credit (REN & STIMPY! REN & STIMPY!) but this IS a Tiny Toons newsgroup,
after all, and discussions of other animation are not generally encouraged.
Perhaps people misinterpret this as bashing?

As for Disney, outsiders may not realize that the show itself like to stab
at Disney in jest, and us toonsters are just following suit -- it's not meant
to be taken quite so seriously.  Still, there are some toonsters around here
who do vocally spit on anything and everything Disney, so his argument might
have some foundation ...  Personally I have no problem with this -- everyone
is entitled to their opinion!

For the benefit of new subscribers to alt.tv.tiny-toon:  Roger Randall
periodically makes references to stories he's written with the delusion that
they are somehow "definitive" or "canon" with regard to TTA.  They are not;
they are purely his own speculation.  You should not proceed on the mistaken
assumption he encourages that these stories are in any way "official".

  Well, this was mentioned in an earlier installment of the TTAUEC, but I
can understand if you missed it. The ratings on those things always triple
whenever I have another month's worth of programs to report.  B-)

  In any event, these are ADULT-SIZED TTA t-shirts, white cotton with the
standard "Buster & Babs" TTA logo on them (though the "Steven Speilberg
Presents" was chopped off). Price is approximately $15, and the best part is
that I bought it at the Warner Bros. store!

  Yes, WB woke up, smelled the carrot juice, and is now marketing
adult-oriented TTA stuff. I suggest hoofing down to a nearby WB store and
buying one. Barring that, try the Warner Bros. catalogue phone number. I have
not yet seen the shirt in any of the catalogues (it was released after the
last catalogue I saw), but since the stores and the catalogues usually sell
the same stuff, it's worth a try.

  Sizes are small, medium, large, and extra large.
