I hear that when young Nathan comes in to do his voice work as a certain
diapered mallard, he's *very* enthusiastic about his work.  He gets so
energetic, one might even say hyper, that the staff worries about him
running into things, hurting himself and/or delicate recording equipment.

To prevent this, they've put padding in various strategic places around the
studio.  These pieces of padding are known as . . .




Ruegger Baby Plucky Bumpers!

Plucky had many caps: "1941", an anarchy symbol, "PS 113" (Public School 113),
"NC-17", and a bloodshot eyeball.  Make of them what you will.

Add to that, these references that your ave. 12 year old wouldn't get...

Citizen Max: Plucky as "Deep Quack."

(Forget which episode): Several characters jumping rope on the steps of
          ACME Loo, to the chant of: 2, 4, 6, 8, Monty is a reprobate!

Various references/puns in Citizen Max, and Sepulveda Boulevard.  Heck,
even just Cooper DaVille...that name being the parody of DeMille...

Her Wacky Highness: How many 12 year olds will get the deal with the old
  Warner Bros. logo, whapping at the Time/Warners logo?  (Recall, when the
  two merged, they used that stupid TV with three slashes logo for several
  years, then went BACK to the original WB logo (smart move!))

Here's some stuff from my DYN list from HOW I SPENT MY VACATION:
LEMONADE 5c, CHANKRAS CLEANSED 1.08, PALM READING 2.00 (Shirley's sign)
The 'Deliverance' parody.

Do you know parents that let their children stay up for late-late night
shows?  Caricatures of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Ed
McMahon...(most 12 year olds would probably watch Arsenio anyways...)

12-year olds that know what a charlatan is?  In the 4th of July scene,
Babs calls herself "Chuck B. Charlatan."

How about this one...something debated long and hard were what words
Mr. Hitcher was saying in the car...we finally concluded:
"Bacon...Pork Chops...Hog Jowls..." and then "Spare Ribs...Ham Hocks...
Carnitas!"          - how many 12 year olds know what Hog Jowls or Carnitas
are?  (Or adults for that matter!  You wanted that high-brow humor?  <grin>)

How about the fact that the ship that Tupelo Toad runs is the "Delta Burke"?

Later, Mr. Hitcher refers to "Welsh Rabbit"...

Hm, I think I'll leave off at that.

Oh, a PS to folx - It has occurred to me that part of Fowlmouth's design
might be to parody Andrew Dice Clay.  Thoughts, comments?

Just a couple more "over-the-head-of-the-kiddies" observations ...

1)  What about "Say goodnight Babs.  Goodnight Babs." at the end of the credits.
 How many 12-year-olds know from (George) Burns and (Gracie) Allen?

2)  The "Real Kids Don't Eat Broccoli" episode.  I took that title to be a
wicked piece of political satire on our (soon to be ex- I hope!) President.

3)  The episode starring the Roches.  How many *adults* in the general populace
d'you think are familiar with their lovely harmonies?  (Now, if they were only
in heavy rotation on Empty-Vee ...)

4)  The name Dr. Gene Splicer.

You're right, I'd much rather see a cartoon by high school physics teachers.
 
Plucky: That anvil caused such a degree of pain, it seems it might have been 
        traveling at approximately 7.4 meters per second!
 
Buster: You nutty duck, everyone knows that the parabolic arc that an anvil
        follows in its final seconds of free fall reaches an acceleration of
        9.8 meters per second squared due to the force of gravity by the time 
        it occupies the same space as you (assuming that we don't account for 
        friction)!

That's what this show has in common with the classic WB 'toons: they aren't
just for kids.  The shows are made so that us adults like the series, too.
While TMNT is more kiddie oriented, and therefore can often insult the
average Warner Animation fan's intelligence.  :)

There are only two purveyors of fine "mature" animation left today, those
being Warners and Disney.  And I prefer Warners.  :)  (Anime notwithstanding,
but I still prefer Warner Animation.)

Here's a little news nugget for the Toonsters out there who collect/track
TINY TOONS merchandise...

Wandered into Toys 'R Us today, walking by the kid-sized TINY TOONS Halloween
costumes (Buster and Babs, full-body suit and mask, with "Buster Bunny" and
"Babs Bunny" written across the chest[*]), went looking for Playskool stuffed
Babs dolls (didn't find any), and tripped across...

            ..."TINY TOON ADVENTURES 3-piece Dinnerware" [!]...

Kid-sized, of course. You get a plate, a bowl, and a cup, all suitable for
serving food on. The plate and the bowl are usable by adult standard, though
the cup seems to be about 3/4ths of a real cup. Still, if you want to collect
a complete 12-piece TTA dinnerware collection, here's the means.  B-)

Of course, there's some new and original TTA art on the stuff, from Warner's
in-house artists, it looks like. My favorite scene is from the leftmost
"strip" on the mug, which features Elmyra trying to stuff Furrball into her
locker.  B-)

I saw the opportunity for a great joke in today's episode that was missed
completely.

In "Happy Birthday Hamton," the toons go to the mall ("The walls at the mall
are totally, totally tall, fer sure!") to buy presents.  The first shot of
the interior of the toy store is a long pan past a bunch of dolls and
stuffed animals.  I watched this pan, and I noticed that they missed a
perfect dig at Spielberg.

What was it?


There should have been an E.T. head stuck in the middle of the dolls!

Could anyone please tell me what a GIF is?  I'm very net-ignorant :)

Also, here's a question I think some of you have heard me ask once before,
but now that I can post it, I'll ask it again...

Does anyone know if Arleen Sorkin ("Calliope" on the soap opera "Days of Our
Lives") did the voice for a TTA character?  I once saw her in an interview
in which she said that on TTA, she was the voice of........

And at that moment, my cable went out...so I never found out.  Kind of like
a never ending cliffhanger.  So, if anyone knows about it, I'd REALLY
appreciate an answer...it's been driving me nuts for over 5 months.

BTW, I almost forgot.  Has Frank Welker (Furball) ever had a speaking role?
I was watching an episode of BATMAN:TAS ("The Cat and the Claw"), and
Catwoman's cat--Isis--was purring and meowing.  I thought it sounded 
familiar...and sure enough, it was Frank Welker.  And in today's
TTA episode, he was the "voice" of Barky-Marky (the playful dog).
I'm just curious to know if he does any speaking voices.

p.s.  Oh Pete, you never answered my JL fax question......
