All animated short put out under the "Looney Tunes" or "Merry Melodies" names
were distributed by Warner Bros.  So, when you refer to classic Warner 'toons,
you're referring to the Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies.

You're quite right, though, about the in-jokes and cameos that pop up in 
those cartoons, most of which (in my opinion and as I've gotten (*GASP!*)
older) have stood the test of time.  Of course, some may have been cut from
the LT's and MM's you see on weekday television for space considerations
(they have to get the commercials in somewhere, darn it) or because they're
not suitable for little kiddies (they never were intended for little kiddies,
at least not exclusively), which REALLY grates me to the quick.

TTA sometimes uses in-jokes from the LT's and MM's, but as far as I can tell,
they do so respectfully, as to pay tribute to the toons that came before.
(Watch me get flamed by the people who hated 'Fields of Honey' on that one. :)

In my concept for the script, I suggest:
 
1) Plucky loves splatter-movies (see past TTA eps. with Freddy Cougar)
and he's a typical adolescent.  Anyone who's ever been in driver's ed
with such people will know what I mean.  ("We're showing *accidents* tomorrow!  "  "Yay!  Crispycritters!  Decapitations!  Wow!")  OF COURSE, Plucky should be joyous:  "'Crimson Highways'!  'Resting In Pieces'!.
 
2) For the driving simulator, Eric Walker and I suggest we model it after an old Disney live-action short about driver's ed:  it featured a driving "simulator" (really film machine) that went faster and faster, eventually ripping itself to pieces.  Perhaps in TT, the machine could fly through the air instead.

Sorry, those are the only two TMBG songs done by tiny toons.  I have no idea
if a certain upcoming episode has more (Jenny, do you know?  No, I think I'd

Ah-ha!  So!  What say ye about these credits, RJ?  I don't have a VCR on hand,
but I know waht I saw today:

JEFF BERGMAN                              AS YOSEMITE SAM

Well, there wasn't no Sam in this (and thank God).  Who was Jeff Bergman?
The messenger boy?  The Troll?  The Beige Knight (that would be my guess)?
Not the dragon --- that's Rob Paulsen, I'm pretty sure.

Point:  mistakes are occasionally made.  Jeff Bergman doesn't seem to even
be in this episode.  It takes a lot of people to one half-hour show;  maybe
there was a bit of miscommunication.   And maybe there was similar miscommuni-
cation WRT the tag animators.
    So there.

Speaking of old movies, Sunday morning at about 2:30 AM I was flipping channels
in a last ditch effort to avoid sleep and caught a scene that looked 
disturbingly familiar....  After watching for a few minutes, it became clear as
day where I had seen it before.  A scummy filmwriter was at the run down 
mansion of a faded movie star (who had a creepy butler) and planned to steal 
her story idea.  Sound like anything that might have been copied on TTA?  Hmm?

Sorry.  "How I Spent My Vacation" (HISMV) is *not* composed of 'a lot
of clips stuck together in a big storyline'.  It is a feature-length
TTA movie which was supposedly shown once in theater (See credits. ;-)
and then released to Video.

I always thought I was slightly delirious or at least lacking in some

Well now that every one seems to be throwing ideas around, I think I'll 
toss in my  two cents worth.

1) There has been talk about having some kind of driving simulators in the
class. One idea was to have something like those old simulators that where
nothing but a cheep car modle with a movie projector atached. A diferent
idea was to have something very hi-teck, maybe even some vertual reality.
Well, I say why not have both, but have the hi-teck stuff on Buster's 
computer at home, and the cheep stuff at school. I though the dialogue
could go something like this:

      Butser talking to Babs (or Plucky, or the audience, or even
      himself.)
           Buster: This simulator test is going to be easy. I 
                   spent the entyer weekend practicing on my 
                   competer at home.
      Buster walks in and sees the simulators there.
           Buster: What's this thing?
           Teacher: It's the driving simulator.
           Buster: But it's just a cardboard box!!!

2) Having Plucky get exited over those driving ed horror movies is also 
a great idea. It might also be a good idea to have him be the only one
who can't handle the sceens in it. So that while every one else just 
flinches and shutes there eye's, Plucky ends up geting green(er) untill
he can't hold out any more and runs from the room.

3) Something I though of a while ago would also fit in well here. It
went something like this:
      The teacher is reading out the roll call for the class.
           .
           .
           Teacher: Pig, Hamptin J.
           Hamtin: Present.
           Teacher: Bunny, Buster.
           Buster: Here.
           Teacher: Bunny, Barbara Ann.
           Everyone: BARBARA ANN??
           Babs: Did you ever have one of those day's where you wish
                 the ground would just open up and swallow you.

Anyway those are my idea for now. Feel free to tell me what you think.
