Looney tunes has been a big and tremendous part of our growing up. When we were kids, it was total entertainment, but now that I’m a little older, I understand the political jokes better.

Just after the axing of “Pinky Elmyra and the Brain”, Kids WB debuted “The Cat and Birdy Warneroonie Pinky Brainy Big Cartoonie Show” (its name later changed to the equally-ludicrous “Cat and Bunny Warneroonie Super Looney Big Cartoonie Show”), or “Big Cartoonie Show” for short, a hatchet-job of a clip show partially created to burn off the rest of the failed “Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain” shorts. It also freed up space on Kids WB’s schedule to fit in mass quantities of “Pokemon” episodes by airing various shorts of other series (Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toons, etc.). Check YouTube for the opening credits/bumpers.

And yes, “Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain” was a train wreck of a show—created as a way of dumbing-down “Pinky and the Brain” to appeal more to kids, with the plans, dialogue, etc. all dumbed down and the mice living with/being abused constantly by Elmyra in her house (though apparently not in Acme Acres—no other Tiny Toons characters appear, and she goes to a normal all-human grade school). Brain’s plans were reduced generically to things like using a school spelling bee Elmyra was competing in, various generic mind-control devices, etc.

I LOVED this show when it came on. It was good for kids, but with enough nods for the adults too.

I actually wondered if this would ever make it to DVD, given how much time its been. I’ll have to try and find these DVDs at a good price somewhere. (now if only someone would get Herman’s Head on DVD)

I enjoyed “Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain” and thought that it was a unique evolution for that concept. Sadly, I recall it went into constant repeats…which was always a problem I had with WB’s Saturday morning programming as you’d watch a new episode and then just a few weeks later, it’d be on again and again without any new episodes for months.

KC,

I was one of the many people who was skeptical that Tiny Toons would be any good. I was quickly won over. Part of the charm of this series now is the topical jokes about politics and celebrities. Great to see which celebrities lasted and which faded away.
