I plan on posting it right after I read these next 10 articles! I've
also got my school's lunch service, (TTA Theme song parody), you can
build a cartoon from the things you find at home, TTA (in tune to
S-100 bus) and Leave It! (In the tune to beat it, where Buster's dad
is trying to get him in a decent college... or school, I should say!)

Well, the first and most important difference is ... that they are two
separate entities, and totally *unrelated* to each other.  Mailing lists
are usually created long before a newsgroup is voted into existence,
and once a newsgroup does appear, it has no bearing or influence on
the continuation of the mailing list.  Example: the BABYLON 5 mailing
list has recently started up, and probably will continue on its merry
way whether or not an alt.tv.babylon-5 or some such gets started.

Mailing lists, because of their more intimate style of interaction,
are usually friendlier than newsgroups.  Oooh, net psychology! :-)
You get to know people on more of a personal level.  (Which is why the
personable style of a.t.t-t is such a Usenet enigma -- you just don't
see it happening as much on a newsgroup ...)

Also remember that mailing lists travel through the Internet, and news-
groups propagate along Usenet -- two different mediums.  Not everyone
with email gets Usenet news, so mailing lists are especially helpful
in this regard.

Eric> Does this Newsgroup have a mailing list?

Nope.

No harm done in cross-posting, I suppose ... provided people realize that
a post to r.a.tv.t-t would *not* be reliably distributed to all sites
like a rec.* group should.  But they won't.  If people (that do get 
r.a.tv.t-t) start seeing traffic on it, they would post to it thinking
that their message is getting out to all points of the globe -- or worse
yet, they might think it safer to post to it than to our alt group,
if they see both.

Now I realize that some sites don't carry alt.* groups.  In this case,
it's still better to post to rec.arts.tv or rec.arts.animation if you
want the message to get out to everybody.

In addition, many many sites have already rmgroup'ed rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon.
Some sites have daemons that monitor the rec group and send you scolding
email every time you post to it.

Finally, for people who receive alt but not rec, seeing the latter in
the Newsgroups: line on a regular basis would only end up wasting
bandwidth as people keep asking about how to find "this other group".
Other groups on the net would get wind of it and suggest people to
move discussions to r.a.tv.t-t, and you have propagation falling apart
again.

I feel that any way you slice it, it's better not to encourage traffic
on rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon.  Doing so would only bring confusion and
misconception to lurkers and posters that don't know the story behind
the newsgroup's existence.

On the other hand, Usenet is always teetering on the brink of anarchy
anyway, so go ahead and post ... and while we're at it, let's also
cross-post to comp.sci.plucky-duck.ego and talk.calamity-coyote. :-) :-)

Pleased??  To quote Steve Martin: "Is a bear Catholic?  Does the Pope

Actually, I have mixed feelings about this.  I personally would *love*
to see a new TTA episode every weekday.  But, <looking at the other
hand> I have to admit that the episodes were getting a bit stale near
the end of this season.  Maybe the increased time between new material
will result in better plots, as well as a chance to "polish" the
production.

>At least there'll be some fresh meat for you guys to dissect! :)

Hmmm... I assume Kassir is doing Buster's voice... This is a perfect
chance to develop some other characters.  I vote for a half-hour Fifi
LaFume special... Any takers?

BZZT...well, actually, I dunno...but back around Thanksgiving, when all
of us STUDENTS here at NCSU got back, it seems the Computing Center had
decided it was time to 'update' their records of which newsgroups were
bogus and which were valid.  They toasted about 50 newsgroups.  However,
rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon was NOT one of the ones they removed.

Well, explain then, why NCSU - a government supported public university -
is carrying those groups, then?  As for the adult pictures groups...we
even carry them, although there IS a policy that people are not permitted
to display any of the pictures they get off of those groups on the workstations
here.

Seems to me that in both cases above, our administrators would be a bit more
careful if conditions are indeed as you suggest.

The title comes from a well-known satirical novel of Hollywood called
"Stix Nix Hix Pix."  The phrase is borrowed from the Hollywood trade
papers such as "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter," which often invent
their own words to supplement their stories.

For a translation of "Stix Nix Hix Pix," try reading it as "Sticks Nix
Hicks Pics."  ("Hicks" = "Hillbilly," sort of; "Pics" = "Pictures;"
"Nix" = "Reject;" "Sticks" = Suburbia and Rural America.  Sort of.)

McD's actually had two separate runs of TTA Happy Meals, each with
characters in various vehicles.  The first series was a set of four
"things" -- each one had a character in a car of come appropriate
sort on the top and bottom.  Each character bent over into the car
to reveal the one on the other side.  (I can't describe these things
too well).  If memory serves, there was: Buster, Babs, Hamton,
Dizzy, Monty, Elmyra, Gogo, and Plucky (but I can't remember which
were paired with which -- my set's at home).

The second set had eight vehicles with some kind of action occuring
as the rear wheels turned.  These eight are listed in JRJII's
listing above.

Three questions, fellow toonatics:

1. Have all planned episodes been broadcast at least once?  Unless Warner
   changes its mind, are there no remaining episodes waiting to premiere?

2. Has the short "Wait till Your Father Gets Even" from "The Plucky Duck
   Show" ever been shown as part of a TTA broadcast?  All the others that
   we first saw on PDS ("Nutcracker/Yakkity Yak," "Party Crasher Plucky,"
   "Going Up," "Ducklahoma," "Minister Golf," "My Brilliant Revenge," "Just-
   Us League of Superheroes," to name some that come to mind, and of course
   "The Return of Batduck" itself) eventually turned up on TTA; JULoS may
   even have been on TTA first and PDS later.  But I've yet to see WtYFGE
   on TTA.

3. Have I gone crazier, or was Egghead Jr. a humanoid in "Plucky's Dastardly
   Deed" yet a chicken in "Hog-Wild Hamton"?

Thanks for your help.
