Hoo boy. Some ups, some downs, and one classic.

Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries 14:
The shorter format works much better than the old one; the plots cover
about the same amount of ground, but they do it faster, and much more in
keeping with the classic Looney Tunes stuff. This show had promise before,
but it has much more now.

Animaniacs 83: One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock
Speeeeewwww!!
This story had a great premise. Unfortunately, it fell prey to Nicholas
Hollander's tendency to over-sentimentalize. That works especially poorly
with Slappy Squirrel - she's ANYTHING but sentimental. The first act was
good; the other two were designed to be tearjerkers, and the result feels
simply muddled. Slappy's return to sanity, in particular, is unexplained
and unbelievable.
This episode isn't the worst of Animaniacs, IMAO, but it is #4 on the five
worst list for me.

Animaniacs 84:
Cutie and the Beast: I was ready for some laughs after A083. Boy, did I
get them. The running argument was just plain hilarious, and the bit with
Dot flubbing her name over and over incapacitated me with laughter. The
story was well-done, the songs did indeed go on and on, but funnily, and
TMS animation made the job complete. I have nothing to complain about at
all...I've already watched it six times.
Boo Happens: I've never seen Forest Gump and have no particular desire to.
Even so, this strikes me as both a great parody and an enjoyable story in
its own right.
Noel: Well... *SONG BREAK!*

Rogel, Rogel,
Boy your puns really smell
Let's all drop a big anvil on Randy Rogel...

(I wish I could flesh this one out.)
I thought This Pun for Hire was bad. Gordon and Charlie, you two could
take lessons from Randy. Whew.
Cold Closing #1: Wow. More rolling on the floor. I barely managed to get
the tapes swapped in my VCR and started recording before P014 began, I was
laughing so hard.
Overall: This one may well displace A005 (Taming of the Screwy) and A073
(A Hard Day's Warner/Gimme a Break/Please, Please, Please Get a Life
Foundation) as my favorite. If whoever decided to spend money on TMS ever
gets to Houston, I'll buy them a big steak dinner. 10/10.

Pinky and the Brain 14: It's Only a Paper World
Solid P&tB fare. I always suspected that, for the Brain, the thrill was in
the chase. He seems better at saving the world than taking it over.

Superman: Ehhh. I didn't like Batman: The Animated Series all that much
either, and this definitely has the same feel.

Road Rovers: I expected to hate this one. I was pleasantly surprised as it
went along; the humor level kept going up, and the mindless hero stuff
level went down. I'm going to give it a few more weeks before making a
decision.

Freakazoid! 14: Dexter's Date
I rather liked it. The musical number went over well with me, and Rugg's
Louie Armstrong was better than a lot of folks who do that for a living.
The plot seemed to be not too stretched out for the full-episode format.
Freakazoid stories can work in a half hour, though a bit of change in
focus is needed from the unbridlled looniness of the first season to make
it work. I think theycan pull it off.

Earthworm Jim 14: The Origins of Peter Puppy
Okkay, and good solid EWJ. I'm just not that much of a fan.

The new season shows real promise, especially the core KWB lineup. We know
Animaniacs well enough to know that A083 is an aberration. (It better be,
guys.) I'm looking forward to more.

More?!? You want more?!?
The possibilities are endless, for example we can go to history,
how about---

Photoelectric Effect
is what Einstein knew well.
And for his description he won the Nobel.

Nobel, Nobel,
Einstein won the Nobel.
Not for relativity as most people tell.

-or, from right within a.t.a.-

He maintains the Lyric File,
Episode manual as well.
We all call him Keeper, but his real name's O'Dell.

O'Dell, O'Dell,
Yes his name's Ron O'Dell.
If you need to know lyrics, for him you should yell.

-or, another a.t.a. celebrity-

He maintained the reference guide,
It's not easy to do.
Which is why there's no update after season two.

Will Bell, Will Bell,
Oh where is Will Bell?
If someone could take over, it sure would be swell.

-or, from personal experience-

Warner Studio Store
is where I went to shop.
When I saw the cel prices, they made my jaw drop.

No cel, no cel,
I couldn't buy a cel.
Though they look really nice, they're expensive as he--(Mwah! Goodnight
Everybody!)

See, there are plenty more possible verses.
(And there's more where those came from!)

>{ runs as fast as he can from Jay }

Ok, so I can't resist an Old Fruit asking for puns...


I checked out the Kids W-B
To laugh & guffaw & chuckle & tee-hee.
I found instead a show featuring Lois and Clark
I had already watched when it had been dark.

Kal-L, Kal-L, an alien called Kal-L.
I think Dean Cain was a better Clark / Kal-L


The Warner Sibs had a long show as well
To make up for Slappy who's off the deep end they tell
So they had fun and pulled off a plot
With Taz as the Beast and Belle for Dot.

Dot's Belle, Dot's Belle, oh brother can't you tell.
With Yakko and Wakko to make both to yell.

Actually, I get the distinct impression that Randy's original
thought for Dot's lines was:

No well, no well
Can't believe there's no well!
We walked all the way here
And I'm madder than hell.

It flows so much better than "And I'm mad, can't you tell."

When the new season starts
I buy tapes by the pack
But variety is what
The wholesalers lack
Maxell, Maxell
These tapes don't work well
I'd like something better
But it's all that they sell.

Heh!

Hey, I've got one with Slappy too:


Once a sheep who was too cheap to find his own dinner
Ate Slappy's whole lawn, but he ended up thinner.
No wool, no wool,
That poor sheep has no wool.
Now he knows that that wasn't a smart trick to pull.

Here's a change of pace:

Noel spelled backwards is-a-name of some one;
And that name of that someone is Leon, Leon;
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon;
How long will this thead go on and go on?

Your connection to-the-net tends to weaken and fail;
Then you just realize you're with A-O-L;
A-O-L, A-O-L, A-O-L, A-O-L;
You stare at your screen until your brains are gel.

And remember Leon spelled backwards is Noel.

Funny, that's the _exact_ same thing I thought... For a second, when I
first saw the episode, that's exactly what I expected Dot to say...

After all, what's Chicago if it ain't got no el?

A fanboy heard that Tress had done a strange song
With Mr. Yankovic, so he looked far and long.
but no Al, no Al,
No he couldn't find Weird Al.

I wanted to have
More lyrics to use
I wrote that on purpose
So it seems that you lose

No wail, no wail
Don't give me your sad tale
We both are so subtle
At each other we flail.

To find out, I guess you'll just have to devise a series of parody songs
that spark unending threads on a.t.a which are cleverly designed to educe
the whole thing! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

Unrelated answer: Lincoln, Nebraska, H2O, and the square root of seven.

Especially the bit where she couldn't remember anything, and then she knew
everything. It wasn't great. It was new, but it wasn't particularly
good, even. But it could be worse.

Two more. This one, I think only JW will get:

"He created Green Lantern and the Pillsbury Dough Boy,
And brought comics fans immeasurable joy.

"No-dell, No-dell, No-dell, No-dell,
The name of this artist is Martin Nodell!"

And one for the rest of you:

"In one episode, the Warners went to Hades,
They played 'round with Satan, but something was shady
For the Hot Place has a name that we all know so well,
But the Fox censors won't let the Warners say 'Hell'.

"No 'Hell', no 'Hell', no 'Hell', no 'Hell',
The three Warner siblings could not utter 'Hell'."

Yes, but that's a movie lot, y'know... Bound to have loads of
fake snow to spray around and make the place look wintry.

UCSC has harfed and I'm on my old newsreader... Hope I haven't
missed much...
