The "Warners" were actually hosts, or anchors, allowing the writers to create as many new charaters as needed. </p> <p>Any revival of the show should punt - and create all new characters, making a mockery of the term <em>revival.</em></p> <p>Actually, I would go so far as to suggest that the "Warners" only have a cameo presence, being supplanted by a new host, or hosts, in a blatant takeover of the whole concept.</p> <p>There's no reason even to follow the orignal shows pattern. None of the characters from the 90's show were pre-existing in the Warner Bros. animation catalog. All were completely new and were thus free from the baggage of already established characters.</p> <p>But that's just me.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y06lW-odwAw" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>Looney Tunes tried new characters all the time. Chuck and the boys knew they were onto someting based on audience reactions.</p> | eddstarr | Aug 15, 2020 |  |
| 45921 | Animaniacs | <p>There's some talk that Bernadette Peters might not come back as the voice of Rita.</p> <p>Will we get to hear Rita sing a verse? <img alt="" src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavSad.gif" /></p> | Mr Magic | Aug 14, 2020 | |

| 45919 | Smells Like Nirvana | <p>I respectfully have to disagree about The Weird Al Show. I think the show's biggest failure was having "Weird" Al, one of the nicest and most supportive people in show business, playing such an incorrigible, childish jerk. I was turned off by the first episode, and I wish Al had played a character truer to himself.</p> <blockquote rel="eddstarr" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>eddstarr wrote :</strong> <p><em>Nothing shocked me more than CBS cancelling the Saturday morning "Weird Al Show" in 1997, after only 13 episodes. I actually liked Al's comedy better than Pee Wee's Playhouse, but the audience just wasn't there.</em></p> <br /> <p><em><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ouey0POq8hM" width="560"></iframe></em></p> <br /> <strong>-end quote</strong></blockquote> <p> </p> | Caps 2.0 | Aug 14, 2020 | |

| 45916 | Random Pictures Thread | <p>That ad is from 1989 with Ducktales and Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers in syndication together before the Disney Afternoon started in 1990 which would have also advertised the new series Tail Spin.</p> | pikachulover | Aug 13, 2020 | |
