If I had 2 VCRs, then I *would* tape all the episodes commercials 
included, then go back and copy 'em.  But I only have 1 VCR, so
that is not a luxury I have.  Fooey.

Not only that, but I noticed something today - apparently, our
FOX station is pulling TTA off of a satellite that is just a BIT
too far away for my tastes.  We're now getting 'sparkles' on the
screen during the broadcast.  Doesn't do it on other channels, so
it isn't the cable company.  It's not TERRIBLY annoying, but it
is nonetheless a reduction in signal quality.

 Funny, FOX 59 here in Indiana has used the Dynamo Duck for all 3 seasons.
This year, DD shows up at the beginning of the FOX Kids Net. shows block
beginning at 1530. (read Looney Tunes), and continues up until Batman
starts at 1700.  The TTA tags were NEVER used from the beginning.

BTW, has anybody seen the new Looney Tunes opening?  not too shabby....

Avoid the Beverly Hills store.  I called and got no call back (probably
because I refused to give my credit card #  * ).  The clerk on the phone said
they just got their shipment and had yet to unpack it.  He took my name
and promised to call back.  I visited the store a month later and they
had NOTHING in adult sizes.  [See Subject: line]  * I bet the guy had a

I've had to deal with that darn duck all of LAST season, as well.  Sorry
to tell you newcomers, but his jokes are getting WORSE with time.  Some
of the early duck stuff was cute.  Now they're ALL old, even the new
ones.

	Does the Pluck Duck Show premeire Saturday, Sept. 12 or the the 19th?
I was wondering since I didn't see it on the 5th, which I was under the 
impression that it would.  Thus, I got a little worried that my local TV station
didn't but the 3rd season...well you can imagine my hysteria...especially since
I've GOT to see the new Batduck adventure!

I ordered a large and I got a large.  No problems.  Of course I did it several
months ago.  It's possible that their stock has run low or something.

I saw thirteensomething yesterday, and I LOVED it until the end when it got real mushy.  All
of that stuff about being a "better half" to someone else seemed too serious for the toon kids.
That stuff is better saved for "Swans Crossing" IMHO.

Though I found the tension between Plucky and Shirley cute at first, I must admit that it
seemed a bit much.  These are just kids.  What's up with the sexual tension?  I hope the sex
is not an underlying thread that will follow through the season.  If I want sexual tension, I'd
watch more prime-time t.v., and if I wanted to see pre-pubescent hormonal swings manifest
themselves, I would watch "Swans Crossing".

Other than the last five or ten minutes, the show was a scream.  Good for Babs!  Now maybe
the guys won't take her aspirations so lightly.  :-)

Yo! Spoilers for Monday's TTA episode, THIRTEENSOMETHING, below...


Overall impression? Not bad. Some good bits, some bad bits. IMO, the good bits
outweighted the bad bits, but I wouldn't put this in the Top Ten TTA Episodes
of all time.

Good stuff:
  * Buster & Babs characterization. Aw, he misses her and she misses him (as
      if we didn't know already  B-). Nice to see the two explore the
      relationship, especially near the end. Probably the high point of the
      episode, IMO.

  * Plucky trying to score with Shirley. A cute running gag, and totally
      appropriate.

  * Gags, impressions, and cameos. Buster and Babs in "Truth or Dare", Jackie
      Gleason as the driver of the "Off-White Bus", Carson/McMahon/Leno,
      Buster's auditions for co-stars, "Football vs. Thirteensomething"...

  * The "Thirtysomething" spoofs, especially down to the logo of the show.
      Doing the opening/credits in the same style was especially neat.

Bad stuff (well, okay, not-so-great stuff...):
  * StarToons' animation. Okay, hold on. It's not THAT bad, certainly better
      than Kennedy. There were scenes in THIRTEENSOMETHING that I _liked_
      watching, simply because the characters looked "correct". Problem is
      that the animation fluctuates too much -- one minute it looks almost
      like Wang, the next minute it goes back to Kennedy. Also, the excessive
      "stand on your toes" and "stick your face towards the camera" got
      tiring after a while.

  * Elmyra. Huh? Totally gratuitous.

  * Shirley. I dunno, something didn't feel right here. Yeah, she's out to
      stop Plucky's advances, but it seems a little too militant, IMO. I
      mean, she must like SOMETHING about the Pluckster, she went to the prom
      with him, after all...

  * Wile E. Coyote. When did he turn mute?

  All in all, not bad. Started off slow in the first act, IMO, but picked up
steam near the end. Better than PLEDGE WEEK from a year ago (grin), but not
quite HER WACKY HIGHNESS or K-ACME TV. Still, I'm happy.

                                                --R.J.
                                                B-)

P.S. Obligatory BATMAN: I like Sunrise Studios' animation on the BATMAN
cartoon. Any chance on getting them to do some TTA work?  B-)

I was *SURE* in the 27 articles that were waiting that SOMEONE would at
least reply to my message, but NOOOOO.

To remind you, I asked if anybody else's TTA Stations were still showing
the tag "We Now Return to Tiny Toons" and "We'll be back after these
messages" pieces, or if a global "turn to duck" had occurred.

Yes, here in Raleigh, FOX 22 is using the "duck" between commercials
INSTEAD of the prescribed TTA logo switcher.

Well, I am going to call FOX 22 and complain.  And if it turns out that
Warner isn't packaging the tags with TTA anymore, or if this is a global
FOX thing, I'll look like a total fool.  Because, nobody bothered to reply.

All I know is, start at part 3, there was NO WARNING that the show was
coming back on - not even the duck - and so I clipped the beginning of part
three on my tape.

As Shirley would say, like, check your local listings, fer sure!
 
FOX 50 (WKBD) in Detroit has moved TTA back to 4:00, inserting Batman
in the 4:30 slot.

>2) Alt.fan.disney.afternoon has been created...

Thankfully, Disney is segregated to the lesser indie station here.
Now, what I want to know is, how long before some mega-dweeb creates
alt.fan.disney-afternoon?  (Note the punctuation.  Glad to see we
never had alt.tv.tiny.toon)

Other random thoughts: Our mortal enemy from Season #1, Captain Planet,
is now on our ABC station.  In a relatively safe 7:30 slot, to be sure,
but there's still no justice.

Also: Batman is on WKBD this Satudray, but not TTA.
