Animaniacs

[Daikun]

Shortcuts to 81 and 82 to save on scrolling time.

Was DG banned or something? He's still posting his new blog links on TZ.

[Avaitor]

It's a long story, but he's more than welcome to return.

[King Hippo]

It's just as well.

[Kiddington]

Is it because Marquis called him a manchild?

[King Hippo]

I'm fairly certain it is.

I used to respect DG, but his increasingly bitter and negative demeanor coupled with all the crap he pulled on Watch has erased all of that. It's hard to be charitable to someone like that.

Open discussion on DG is not fair for any sides of the situation. Let's move on, shall we?

I, for one, have enjoyed the blog. This is probably one of the most comprehensive breakdowns of Animaniacs episodes we'll ever see. I respect the time and effort he puts into it. There's nice pieces of trivia thrown in for good measure. One may not always agree with his opinions for each episode, but it brings about interesting thought/discussion.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, let' cut the discussion about members of the board, please. It's one thing to talk about someone who's never been on the site, and another for someone who is a registered member.

Here's 86. As a Rugrats fan, I find the opening to be brilliant, myself.

But yikes, "Jocahontas". Pocahontas will always be one of my lesser-favorite Disney movies, and I usually liked Earl Kress' writing (RIP), but this short never sat well with me.

"Wakko At the Bat" - The scene with Hello Nurse and Minerva Mink using their feminine wiles to distract 2 of the opposing team's players is kind of a brain fart. Not only are both characters nearly the same height in this short (which is weird), but the idea of a couple of humans lustily eyeballing an animal (albeit an anthropomorphic one) is just bizarre, even for Animaniacs.

Episode 87

[King Hippo]

Looking back, those Kids WB episodes really did take a nosedive in quality.

I makes me sad how the great Silver Age just petered out the way it did.

Episode 88

[Avaitor]

When the Hippos short seems like the better one of the episode, you know there's trouble.

[Avaitor]

89, 90, 91

"Ten Shorts About Wakko Warner"'s a good one to my tastes.

Episode 92

[Avaitor]

"Dot-the Macadamia Nut" is a classic. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best sequences in the show's history.

Actually, this is one of the later episodes which I remember in full rather well, and I do like it all.
