	Lemme tell you what I know and what I've come to assume.
Okay, this gets complex...
	First off, pretend there wasn't a TINY TOONS CHRISTMAS.
That means that 97 episodes have aired as of November sweeps,
finishing off with BEST OF BUSTER DAY.  We knew (from various
net reports, as well as broadcasting Conventional Wisdom) that
TTA was going to have 100 episodes (based on the success of the
first 65, 35 more were commissioned for the '91-2 and '92-3
seasons).
	What are the three that haven't aired?  Both "Variety"
and Robert Jung's inside sources say that the home video HOW I
SPENT MY VACATION will be split up into three episodes.  I'd
expect these last episodes to run in February sweeps.
	Now after all this, re-remember IT'S A TINY TOON
CHRISTMAS.  That takes the total number of episodes to 101,
one more than necessary to get that psychological "three-digit
number of epiodes, no one will ever tire of it" effect on
programming buyers when TTA goes into second-run syndication.

	At least, that's what I thought until...

	I have checked my episode guide (well, I fgrep'ed for "ait"
and "ill" and "ather" in various cases) and it looks like you're
right -- this short is not part of any of the 98 TTA episodes that
have aired so far.

	Yes, the one in PDD seems based on the Egghead that was
a forerunner of Elmer Fudd, while the other is clearly the kid
genius who confounded Foghorn Leghorn in various shorts.

Thanks for calling the "Wait Til Your Father..." thing to the
group's attention.  But why do people quote other people's sigs?
And don't you hate it when someone quotes 70 lines and then just
tacks on a 2-line comment (I'm dialing in at 2400 -- it makes me
want to kill).  And aren't we lucky that they've only shown "Wait
Til Your Father Gets Even" only once?
