The Revenge of the Return of the Brainteasers, Too!  When I saw the
title totally filling up the screen, I just about died laughing.  And
I kept laughing all the way through.  This was a really good one, even
better than the original.
Best line:  "I am the terror that flaps in the night!  I am the <blah
blahiforget>.  I am.... 'Ze Qveen of ze universe!'"
Best running gag -- Herb trying different things to cover up his
bald spot (tho I couldn't see Herb being worried about a thing like
that) and totally oblivous to anything else that went on.  "Do you
like this too-pee?"   "Aarrrrrrghhhh!!"  "Gee, I didn't think it was
that bad...."
And Flarg and Talleah making eyes at each other while occupying
Binky and Darkwing's brains was great, too.  I kept expecting Herb to
walk in on them while they were going kissyface but it never happened.
He probably wouldn't have noticed anyhow.
Talleah's voice also sounded like Binkie on occasion and I don't
think it was intentional.  Maybe the same actor did both and kept
slipping out of the Talleah accent?
What I find most interesting is when the Brainteasers occupy dumb animals
cause then they turn them into anthropomorphized ones within a universe
of anthropormorphized animals.  Hm.
Flarg *really* insisted they'd be back.  Would be nice....

Then Goof Troop.  Oh, there hasn't been a DA episode that tugged on the 
old heart-strings since Jolly Molly.  This one was sweet and poignant
and touching.  Gave me warm fuzzies.  I liked it.  Loved Peg sashaying
around swinging her hips.  Pete was being a jerk as usual.  Lots of
good stuff in this one (Kennedy animation doesn't bother me as much as
it bothers some of you -- in fact, I think Wang is the worst animation
house).  Title was Puppy Love.  PJ is a cat but Rose looked like a
dognose so I guess it's okay (her poem was a great).  Do kids really
get involved at 11 1/2 these days?  

Raw Toonage.  The intro scene is neat to slo-mo through.  This week's
host was Don Karnage appearing in his usual wonderful splendour!  Was
very nice to see him again.  We missed you, Don Karnage.
Had the same 3 shorts again -- Bonkers, Totally Tasteless Video and
Marsupilami.  (they pronounce it wrong, don't they?  Both "i"s should
be pronounced the same -- line long "e"s).
We get the rest of the characters' names in Bonkers -- his sidekick
is named Jitters and they did name Fawn Deer.  I liked the Bonkers
short and like last week, I liked Totally Tasteless Video and like
last week, I have this feeling everyone else is going to hate it.  I
guess I'm more warped than the rest of you.  The marsupilami short
wasn't that good this time.  But the biggest disappointment was whoever
did Hook's voice didn't do a very good job (don't tell me it was Jim
Cummings -- I'm to the point where I think JC can do any voice).
Problem with RT is the shows aren't titled so how do I mark them on
the videotape?  I supposed I could notate them by host.  Trying to
list all the shorts in each episode would be a little too much.

Also watched COW-boys of Moo Mesa again and I still liked it (which
really surprises me cause it sounds like the sort of thing I would
hate).  I'm not watching anything else on Saturdays, but I figure I
can catch the things I'm missing (Little Mermaid, Feival, etc) when 
everything goes into reruns.  Still, Saturdays are very strong.  Lots
of good stuff this season, so far.
