Which one did he write?  My TV, correction my Game Gear kinda destrorys tiny
letters so that I can't really see who wrote what that well (as if I was
actually paying attention)

Same here.  Even though they could stand some improvement.

Followed by August's (who was too lazy to Pnews)

Yeah, that would have been fun but just once (like in the Econ class).  Yes,
here we see Buster doing what Buster does best.  Annoying the hell out of
people.  Yosemity Sam's voice is not what it used to be.  Too deep.  They
should have gotten the guy who did Sammy in "C Sharp or B flat".

>Act #2: "Maid to Re-order". Cute again, though I wish for one more time with

>B-)  B-)  B-)  B-)  B-)  B-)  B-)  B-)
Yes, Rob.  Buster *does* costumes.  I'm just saying that Babs is a costume
master while Buster is competant.  Her assets?  I actually did not notice
anything truly out of the ordinary in term of that, ahem, subject.  Then
again, I have no sex drive.

Romeo and Juliet anyone?  *sigh*
This was IMHO the weakest of the three shorts.  Dini has cut this short, um,
short.  It didn't finish adequately, much in the fashion of Horror of
Slumber Party Mountain.  Also, I would have liked it if Dizzy got the better
of Buster a least *once* during the short.  But the scene with the little
forest creatures *was* pretty funny, especially with the bluebirds.
Cummings should have done Taz's voice here.  Whoever did this was too deep
as well.  Bugs's voice was done fairly well, however.

When I saw the credits saying "Charlie Adler/John Kassir as Buster Bunny",
I was flabberghasted.  I had not noticed this at _all_.  Kassir is really
coming along.

And he'll go even further if we write to those people and demand a fourth
season.
