Did you watch Tiny Toon Adventures? (1990-1992)

Listened to Flood for Particle Man and Istanbul (Not Constantinople), stayed for Birdhouse in your Soul, but it would be a few more years until I discovered Don't Let's Start

The best minute I have spent so far today.

The Prince joke... just the Prince joke alone...

I wound up watching a bit of the show as an adult and found that it mostly wasn't very funny to me. I still like the baby Plucky episodes and How I Spent My Summer Vacation, but I don't really miss the rest of the series.

[-]

Max_W_@reddit

It was only on for three years? Wow.

[-]

whyneedaname77@reddit

Sometimes shows had huge first or second seasons and had a lot of episodes so it felt longer. Ducktales season 1 was 65 episodes.

[-]

Indubitalist@reddit

Yeah, this surprised me, too. I’d have guessed a decade for how much of it I watched.

[-]

CorgiMonsoon@reddit

It likely continued to air in your area as a syndication package well beyond the three years that they produced new episodes. Plus they did a couple direct to VHS movies that eventually got chopped into episodes and included in syndication as well

[-]

clutzycook@reddit

Ok that makes sense because I know I would watch this in the afternoons during the summer when I was middle school aged and that was after 1992.

[-]

TomPalmer1979@reddit

Yeah but like, three years when you're 10 is like, almost 1/3 of your life. Seems like an eternity.

[-]

KahBhume@reddit

Had the same thought with a lot of the shows I watched as a kid. For example, Inspector Gadget only had two seasons.

[-]

punktualPorcupine@reddit

They only made new episodes for less than 2 years, but they ran reruns on different networks until 2001.

It was pretty common technique to outsource animation in short bursts and reruns sold ads better than having to pay for new animation.

Also when Animaniacs took off Spielberg decided to shift the creative team to focus on one show instead of two, plus there were a lot less voice actors with a lot less characters so it was cheaper to produce.

three-sense@reddit

Elmira had a sort off cross-bred spinoff with Pinky and The Brain (Animaniacs) so maybe it seems longer

i remember going to school one morning (ours aired at 8am), and eveyrone was singing "universe man, universe man......."

i only saw that episode a couple of times, its like they didnt like to air it.

[-]

SeamusMcBalls@reddit

My wife is a bit younger. I accuse her of going “Elmira” with our dogs and she has no idea what I’m saying.

[-]

HeightExtra320@reddit

I had to watch all of this . It’s been years since I’ve heard that theme song.

[-]

someguyfromsk@reddit

This is one of those shows I would have watched religiously had PVR been a thing because I think it was on at an awkward time, but I was never around to catch it.

[-]

truthdeniar@reddit

Yeah but did you play the video game?

[-]

michigan85@reddit

This was on every day when I got home from school. I know this because I watched it every day when I got home from school.

[-]

cupcakebean@reddit

We just bought the DVDs for my kids. It still holds up.

[-]

AllThe--SmallThings@reddit

The 'How I Spent My Vacation' movie lived in our VCR for at least one full summer. Pretty sure I can still recite chunks of the Plucky and Hamton road trip from memory.

[-]

Positron14@reddit

Yes. Watched the "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" movie so many times, too.

[-]

Plumeria9798@reddit

That movie had no business being so good! Haha! I recently showed the clip of the Jason style killer in the car with Plucky and Hamlin and his family with the radio talking about the killer on the loose to my kid and she thought it was golden too. I want to get the whole movie on DVD.

[-]

PlayedUOonBaja@reddit

I just bought it off Amazon a few days ago for $12. I also bought Bebe's Kids and Mary Martin's Peter Pan. Going through a bit of a nostalgia phase for all the movies we owned on VHS or rented the hell out of in the 90s.

[-]

OmegaRainicorn@reddit

If I want to make myself smile for no reason, I’ll think about the “Stairway to Heaven and Bullet Train to Heck” rides at the amusement park.

[-]

maniacalmustacheride@reddit

Me too! I think about the whole theme park tragedy all the time.

[-]

hightower242@reddit

It was one of my favorite cartoons of the early 90s. I saw the first episode of the new series last year. I don't know who's idea is was to make Babs and Buster related in the reboot, but that seemed like fool move.

[-]

TomPalmer1979@reddit

It was one of my absolute favorite shows as a kid. It's how I discovered They Might Be Giants, who've been my favorite band for almost my entire life. Just saw them live again in November.

[-]

samenffzitten@reddit

Oh my god - just unlocked a core memory here. I remember Babs Bunny randomly walking into the screen with an eraser on her head singing a silly song during a kind of serious explanation, and my sister and I nearly pissing ourselves laughing.

[-]

beardymo@reddit

Nostalgia unlocked

[-]

Tall-Introduction414@reddit

Babs Bunny was voiced by the great Tress MacNeal, who was also Dot Warner, Agnus Skinner, Mom, the old hooker from Futurama...

[-]

Backdrop2@reddit

great show

[-]

dontletyourcrownslip@reddit

I had the Gameboy game

[-]

Im_Ashe_Man@reddit

Me to myself - I think I saw that show. Hears theme song and immediately starts singing along. Yep, saw that one lots.

[-]

Solid-Hedgehog9623@reddit

This was only on for 2 years?

[-]

ebles@reddit

Good game on the Super Nintendo too.

[-]

S1ayer@reddit

and the NES also done by Konami

[-]

Blenderx06@reddit

I came here to recommend!

[-]

Cubelock@reddit (OP)

Yes, I had it too! I remember the train part especially, which was pretty hard at the end.

[-]

WaterFrogSnail@reddit

Yes, and I learned about the band They Might Be Giants from watching Tiny Toons.

[-]

McAUTS@reddit

Wait... hold on... STEVEN SPIELBERG?!!?
Now that's new to me! Loved that cartoon so much!

[-]

Plumeria9798@reddit

Of course! My husband and I cite this as one of those truly Xennial shows. And we are constantly quoting, “The audience is now deaf,”from How I Spent My Summer Vacation.

KerissaKenro@reddit

There were little jokes hidden at the end of the final credits on every episode. My favorite, I can remember the exact phrasing, but the gist is “Plucky was deliberately not included in The Name Game”. My little tween self starts singing to myself: Plucky, Plucky, fo-fu…. oh!

I know it's just the intro, but seeing it again I never realized what great background art this show had.

"Tiny Toons" is kind of evidence of the "Looney Toons/Tunes" Mandela Effect.

It was staple of after school cartoons for me!

The music video countdown episode stills lives rent free in my head.

DegTrader@reddit

Babs and Buster Bunny—no relation—explaining the concept of syndication to us at 4 PM while we ate Dunkaroos is probably why we all have trust issues today.

6 am every Saturday morning!

Saturday mornings were the best. 5 days struggling to get out of bed for school but Saturday, holy shit I'd be outta bed so fast!

psuKinger@reddit

I purchased this (and Anamaniacs) on DVD and rewatched them with my kids when they were prime-Tiny-Toons age. It was every bit as good as I'd hoped and remembered.

[-]

Farm-Alternative@reddit

yes of course. what about Animaniacs??

that one was cool as well
