Stand forth, true believers! It's another weekly posting of the super-
hyperactive

               TINY TOON ADVENTURES Upcoming Episodes Guide!

As all devoted toonsters that caught last week's bulletin from the TTAUEC
know, we're all on the verge of the third season of TINY TOONS! Even so,
we've got some interesting news for the TTA "spinoff", THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW.
It gets a little complicated, so we're going to devote most of this week's
bulletin to explaining it (with a few cute bits thrown in).

All set? Punch up those VCRs, then, and let's roll...

==============================================================================

  Hey, both TINY TOON ADVENTURES and BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES are products
of Warner Animation. It was only a matter of time before there was some
in-jokes back and forth, and we've got the first one documented!

  For those who missed it, the Friday, September 11, 1992 BATMAN episode,
"Joker's Favor", featured a (very brief) TTA cameo. One scene featured the
Joker and three of his henchmen, plotting schemes in their hideout. Things
must have gotten pretty slow, because one of the goons was bored enough to
read an issue of "Tiny Toon Adventures" magazine...

  (A BATMAN shot in TTA is much easier to spot. Watch the premiere of THE
PLUCKY DUCK SHOW on 9/19/92, which features the premiere tale, "Return of
Batduck". Gee, I wonder who's being parodied here?...)

Season 3 of TTA on tape, he's got *FOUR* VCRs all set and ready to go (two
with him, two at home, "just to be safe"). WOW!

FOOTNOTES:
(1) The first episode of "The Plucky Duck Show". The episode number is
      currently a TINY TOONS episode number, but Warners is considering
      changing it in the future.


  Up until now, all that was known about THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW was that the
premiere was a new episode ("Return of Batduck"), and that the rest would be
reruns.

  As a glance at the schedule shows, it seems that the bulk of TPDS episodes
will consist largely of Plucky-oriented shorts from TINY TOONS episodes,
spliced together. However, for the TPDS episodes in September, most of those
shorts will come from NEW, Season 3 TTA episodes!

  In other words, THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW of 9/26/1992 will be composed of four
Plucky shorts, all from Season 3 TTA episodes. "Nutcracker Suite" and
"Yakkity Yak" are from TTA episode #180, "Loon Lake" is from #191, and
"Ducklahoma" will be from #192. All three of these as-yet-unscheduled
episodes will air later in the Season 3 TINY TOONS schedule, but for now, THE
PLUCKY DUCK SHOW will be offering sneak peeks, so to speak...

  Confused? We hope not.
