| Overview |
Warner Bros.' follow-up to Tiny Toon Adventures was a show even nuttier than its predecessor. The two Warner Brothers ”talky Yakko and Liverpool-accented Wakko” and their Warner Sister, Dot ("I'm cute") had supposedly been created in the 1930's, but their cartoons were too screwball for the general public. The three Warners (all black with long ears, but no distinguishable species or breed) were locked up in the studio water tower until they escaped in the early 1990's. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot ran wild around the lot, pursued by studio CEO Thaddeus Plotz, security guard Ralph, studio psychiatrist Dr. Scratchinsniff, and Scratchinsniff's buxom assistant, Hello Nurse (Who didn't really have to do much pursuing, if you know what I mean. "Hellooooooo, Nurse!"). The show spat out pop culture references and throwaway visual gags with machine-gun rapidity, entertaining kids and adults alike. Also popular were the many songs and song parodies that graced the program. |
