  Hello... :)

  While I was watching the "Sepulveda Blvd." episode with a friend last
week, he asked me what Elmyra's last name was, and, of course I said
"Duff" since that's what the FAQ lists. 

  My question is: Why do they repeatedly call her "Elmyra Desmond" in this
episode?  Does it have something to do with a parody of a movie?  Hmm...

  Thanks!

  Justin :)

The synopses, I've decided, are too much trouble for their value, so
straight into the comments we go:

Two must-sees and an eehhhhh..., in my book.

Ducklahoma: The only detractor was that it seems to be continuing
a theme of reusing old (if good) ideas.  Fortunately, this one seems
to work.

Okay, who *didn't* read "Directed by Buster Bunny", and think,
"UH OH..."?

I'm split over whose solo was better, Plucky's or Elmyra's.

As for the ending, sorry, I saw that coming.  They're gonna
have to be a little less obvious next time if they're gonna
catch Ol' Blue Ears off guard.

Nutcracker Suite: Was this supposed to be the one where Plucky
supposedly gets trapped inside a video game?  Something tells
me no.

Yakkity Yak: Ehh, a bit too literal.

Party Crasher Plucky: Now *this* is celebrity cameo heaven!

This could be quote-of-the-year material:

"Hey, don't you know who I am?  I'm, uh... I'm, um... what do
celebrities love more than anything else... I'm...an endangered
species!"
"Did he say endangered species??" (etc.)
"Yes, I did! I'm the... bush quail!"

Particularly apt, since that particular bird is quite endangered
these days.  The subtitle on that inspirational Newsmonth
magazine was "Our mistake; big deal", whatever that is supposed
to mean.

I had to go over it three times to figure out how Shirley
got into the party.  The guest list:

Clint Eastwood      Mayor
Benji               Dog
Whoopi Goldberg     Actress
Howie Mandel        Loon
Robin Williams      Actor
Dolly Parton        Actress
Patrick Swayze      Boxer
Byron Vaughns       Artiste
Julia Childs (sic)  Cook

Obviously, she got in on line #4.

Sole-mates.  Who knew?

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	Well, here we go again.  Last Wednesday's rerun of BUSTER AND BABS GO
HAWAIIAN doesn't seem to have generated the same interest here as it did on
its second broadcast in May, but with it we've come around to the same
circumstances under which our 100% fan.written additive.free net.script was
created, and I think it's time that we brought the subject back up.

	So I'd like to include my comments on outstanding issues since the
scripts last revision, dated August 8.

** "_Babsie on Board_ Join the net.experience!"?  Are we going to be calling
   the entire episode HIT THE ROAD DAY, as (correct me if I'm wrong) Robert
   has suggested?  I like the idea of having all three shorts deal with
   learning to drive -- any comments?

** "Babsie on Board", Act I of the hypothetical HIT THE ROAD DAY, is 
   essentially complete.  What needs to be done is to edit it down to the
   standard 6-7 minute length for animated shorts.  My estimate of its
   current length is about 8-10 minutes.  The concluding airbag sequence 
   seems to be the likeliest candidate for deletions.

** I haven't really been following this season too closely, so could 
   someone please tell me in what context "Hasta la vista, baby" was used
   in the new episodes?  Will this affect the conclusion of the net.script?

** I think the pro- and con- Brain Aneurysm issue should be settled quickly.
   If necessary, we'll take a poll.

** Highway music: I'd like to offer another suggestion -- Khatchaturian's
   "Sabre Dance".  As a reminder to all, since this never became an offical
   part of the script, the idea is to have Babs get thrown forward as she
   enters the freeway, causing her to slot the cassette she's holding as
   she was sorting through the tapes.  As the car careens through the 
   Speedway of Death, the sound system blares wildly [in?]appropriate music.

	Well, let's get this show on the road (no pun intended), shall we?

Did anybody realize that when they called our chainsaw toting pal 'Hitcher' in
the credits for "New Class Day" that they are assuming everybody has seen HISMV?
In "Going Up" he never hitchhiked, and the name would be totally meaningless
without HISMV.

Someone on the TT staff, or Spielberg himself, must really want to remember
the old B&W stuff...there are now *three* such episodes: "Fields of Honey",
"Sound Off" and now "Two-Tone Town"!
 
I'll _always_ adore "Fields of Honey";  it's the episode that made Babs
a great modern toon in her own right.  (My rating *****)
 
"Sound Off" was HILARIOUS!  I have the feeling these cartoons are being 
portrayed much better than they actually were.  Seeing Tiny Toons done in
that style was most delightful!     (****)

"Two-Tone Town"   Great concept--WHERE WAS HONEY?!?  I would've loved it if
she made an appearance.  A *good* tearjerker, but "Honey" is still the best.

That's been standard Hanna-Barbera practice for some time now.  Take a peek
at the voice credits for the original HB "Tom and Jerry Show" (the one with
the cool tune:  "...big or small, short or tall, you will all have a ball...").
There must be over 50 voices, including Don Messick and Franklin [sic] Welker.

I gotta admit I liked this episode.  It was definitely better than "Fields of
Honey."  The story was funny.  It kept me giggling through the whole episode. 
Not a laugh roit, but a a funny episode overall.  I liked the "Hudson Duck"
gags with Plucky.  "Two-Tone Town struck home tho.  The references to what if
Tiny Toon Adventures was canceled.  I think this is the writers way of making
fun of WB's choice to not make TTA of next season.  Still this put me in a
somber mood.  (guess I'll have to watch HISMV to cheer up :-)  Don't get me
wrong it was done beautifully.  The TTA cancellation bit was funny.  I really like
the "Toonywood Squares" gags a lot!  "I'll take Buster and Babs to block."
The "Two-Tones" were funny in this episode.  I like Goofy Gears, he's funny. 
Big Bee wasn't too bad either.  I forget the other two's names, but they had
some great lines.  "Do you like our ears and butts better up, or down?"  I love
that!   I give Two-Tone Town an A, good story and good animation.  TMS RULES!!!
