{ Complete with the grainy samples.  Oh, this was a gem!  This more than
redeems them for Gang Busters ... (although Joe Alaskey really needs to

As we knew by the time Robert posted it this time, "Animaniacs" was on
Tuesday and "Washingtoon" was on Wednesday.

As we found out the next day, the second short of PD3 was titled "Wait till
Your Father Gets Even."

Not to be a jerk or anything, but does anyone else think the images
are kind of funky?  Kind of blurry and washed-out.  Is this because
it's from a television signal or is it hardware or is it software or
is it the VCR or is it all four?

I wish they'd at least called RoBD "Return of Hollywood Plucky," which seems
more appropriate.  Admittedly, BDD and NCD (love these abbreviations) had
their moments, but for the most part were only what I would call "average."

I still have every episode on tape.  But after the _second_ Elmyra's family

decide the idea was sludge?) I really do wonder why I bother...

Summary: More raving ramblings
Keywords: At last...

I just asked in my last follow-up "Why do I bother?" and along came
Music day (correct title?) and gave me the answer.  The best entire episode
since 13-something, an almost unbelievably solid three shorts.  I was
seriously beginning to believe TTA was going to go out with a whimper.

"Ruffled Ruffee:" Didn't place the title right off, but it quickly became
apparent.  Another great Sherri Stoner short.  The zombie-children were 
hilarious, as I always wondered "Kids really like that crap?" 

After that one, I figured the rest of the episodle wouldn't measure up, but
then..

"The Horn Blows at Lunchtime," surprising that TTA would do a flatulence
-driven short.  Was expecting a mostly Sneezer thing, and was pleasantly
surprised that he was more of a catalyst (I guess he usually is, really) than
the featured character.  Odd that no one suspected Fifi as being at fault.
"Babs! Lay off the broccoli!"  Ahem.  Hideously juvenile, but I laughed
a lot.  Don't know how it will hold up to the ages, and right now I
don't care.

Two good shorts...I can rarely expect more out of a TTA shorts episode. 
And they decided to be _really_ kind today and gave me

"Loon Lake."  Another Shirley short, at last.  Mayhem, Shirleyisms, 
and a cliche plot but who cares?  Babs gets to indulge her mean streak
and the drooling fanboys get to watch Shirley change clothes. (sorry,
had to throw that in.  Lasting influence from THBaL)

All this and TMS, too.  Le sigh of contentment, TTA can live for another
week.

Summary: Situation with "Animaniacs!" and "Washingtoon"

Date: 8 Nov 92 21:47:31 GMT
Organization: University of North Florida, Jacksonville

By this time, I think we know that a change in the schedule occured last
week, with "Animaniacs!"  and the new episode "Washingtoon" being swapped,
the latter being shown on Wednesday instead of Election Day, Tuesday.

No reasons have come forth yet (as Rob said), and I haven't gotten any
ideas from my fellow toonitics over on GEnie.  My personal opinion is that 
they may have had an alternate ending to the episode, considering how close
the presidential race was.  I'm probably wrong (and I may be reading more
into the final lines of the episode than I should), but that would be
an interesting occurance.  :)

Otherwise, I felt the episode was rather well done (and the trashing of
all the political figures in the episode was hilarious...ESPECIALLY Danny
Quayle!), and the animation, while not TMS, was well done.  On the 
Meyers scale, 3.5 outta 5.

No, no.  I meant the "Toon Out, Toon In" rap.  That's where Fifi was 
overlooked.  Giving her a scene in "Name Game" was nice, but how about
describing her in detail (in the rap) like Vanilla Lice did for most of the
other characters?

Maybe they had to cut it out for the sake of time.

Brown.  That was priceless!!  And those stupid changing drawings for back-

Loved Skinhead O'Connell!  That was a riot.

Today's excursion into Grandma's Dead was pretty bad too, although in-
dividual jokes were good (Eve Plumb returns!).  That stupid sick little 
brother of Elmyra's was practically a useless character.  He couldn't
even do a very good Jimmy Stewart.

  Eeeh. I didn't care for "Minister Golf" when it aired on THE PLUCKY DUCK
SHOW, and I didn't care for it here. In fact, aside from "Going Up", I don't
like any of the Baby Plucky shorts.

  Anyone want to start an in-depth analysis of why folks are so vehemently
divided on Baby Plucky shorts? I don't think there's anyone who's indifferent
to BP; either you like him or you hate him.

>My favorite line there was "Congratulations, Son!
>You're going to be an only child!"

  Probably one of the two or three good jokes in this episode. SPORTS SHORTS
was better than GRANDMA'S DEAD in that it at least tried to be funny. Problem
IMO was that the jokes weren't. I mean, "The Underwater World of Fifi"
just dragged with some very aged aquatic puns.

  I dunno; I had a problem with Fifi playing the "sit on the boat while her
consorts feed her grapes" role. Seems more like something Monty would do, not
Fifi. She was better in THE HORROR OF SLUMBER PARTY MOUNTAIN, if you ask me.

I guess I must be loosing my 'Drooling Fanboy' membership since I
found the entire product...well...so-so.

Asside from the stuff which aired on Plucky's show earlier, there was
nothing from "Toon TV" which earned more than a soft chuckle.  I
suspect it has to do with the fact that I found none of the music
particularly interesting.  (To be blunt, I find that late-50s/early
60s stuff uninteresting.  Specifically, I *loathe* "The Name Game".)

Given that the music was uninteresting, and that the animation was
uneven, I can't say I liked the episode.

And did a reasonable job with it (even if she does sound like a cow mooing

who were all fantastic).
