There's still one new episode on Monday, BEST OF BUSTER DAY.  After that,
we probably won't see another new episode until the spring, if this season
follows the pattern of the last two.  There are still five episodes 
unreleased, with three or four of those being a broken-up HISMV (grr...).

Not to mention, us Drooling TTA Fanboys don't consider the series over yet.
We'll have a fourth season, just you watch!  Muah-hah-hah-hah!  :)

As the old joke about HIGHLANDER II goes, "There *should have* only been
*ONE*!".  :)  Seriously, the only Elmyra's Family pilot confirmed as such
was TAKE ELMYRA, PLEASE - note the edited footage from K-ACME TV introducing
the episode.  GRANDMA'S DEAD may have been a second pilot, but I've never
seen it confirmed either here or on GEnie.  (Mind you, with my luck
[and considering most messages I get here are a few days behind], a message
to that affect got eaten by my rn.  :)

There are over 140 images to choose from. At 3 pics a week, it would still

Hamton WAS portraying Paul Schaffer, in an anachronistic reference. Schaffer
was in the SNL band LONG before (ok, maybe a couple of years before) he became 
David Letterman's musical co-host.

SHEESH!  Give it a rest, PLEASE!

This thread is very depressing to those of us that like both TTA and the LTs
for both their differences and similarities. It is more likely than not that
the original cartoons of the 20's -- 40's will not be surpassed by the current
offering by the animation studios, but we can hope.  Looney Tunes are Looney
Tunes, and TTA is TTA. Each has their own identities, and this point should
be considered before comparing old to new. Granted, TTA may use classic gags,
BUT, how do you expect them to learn anything without attempting the gags? 
(remember, it is ACME LOONIVERSITY)

One another note (Bflat), TTA's portrayal of Bugs an insult? I disagree. Since
Bugs and the others are the instructors, it seems appropriate that they should 
fall prey to the youngsters' shennanigans (most teachers do at least once). How
often does one try to pull a trick on the teacer, and then have it WORK!!! 8-9

On the school setting: ever heard of 90210????  Talk about a swipe at Fox.

I noticed a few voice credits that were familiar, among them:

Kath Souci played the feather duster.  Something about those french

Assuming you are male, where have you been all my life?! ;-)  That is
what makes Baby Plucky funny yet annoying to me, when he repeats himself
just like little kids do, particularly black kids.  It just happened in 
front of me yesterday outside Music Plus.  This ten or eleven year old black
kid was so excited to get in the store he was running for the door.  I was
holding it open.  His older sister was about 10 paces behind him, and yet 
he was chattering to someone when he tripped on the door mat.  It was pretty
hard to keep from laughing.  I laugh when anybody trips, including myself.  
But it's particularly funny when kids do it.  Many kids like to hear
themselves talk, so many moms will tell you.  But I didn't start talking
to myself until I got into high school!  Most kids also break out of the 
habit when they're about 7.

Anyway, I kind of objected to them having an obviously black kid do Plucky's
voice mostly because a black teen doesn't do his voice now.  I thought it was
stupid, BUT it is a cute voice.

Well, sooner or later you'll see "Born to Be Riled," "Prom-ise her Anyhthing,"
and "The Amazing Three."
Although I'm pretty sure Fifi is clotheless to keep her coloration easily
visible.  Especially since IMHO she is built like a squirrel, and them ears
make her look a bit like a (gorgeous, cuddly) teddy bear.
Babs is topless in "No Toon is an Island" (good episode!), bottomless in
"Her Wacky Highness," and walks in an open bathrobe in "Bunny Daze."  And this
doesn't cover the endless Babs-butt scenes --- the first thread I ever saw on

Actually, Gogo Dodo has a counterpart in the old Looney Tunes.  I 
remember an episode where Porky goes of to find the last dodo and
make his fortune by capturing it.  After a romp in Wackyland, he
finally catches the dodo, yells "I've got the last dodo, I've got
the last dodo" or something to that effect, and runs off.  Then a
whole bunch of dodos show up on screen and say something funny, 
which I can't remember now.  Granted, this is not a recurring character
in Looney Tunes, but there is definitely a precedent for dodos in 
Wackyland.
