1. The best feature was that Animaniacs was just as irreverent as the original Loony Tunes. There was no attempt at a moral at all.Report

   1. But… wheel of morality!Report

      1. It told us the lesson that we must learn.Report

      2. And that lesson was irreverence.Report

   2. Not strictly true. There WERE censors after all.
      “No, you can’t have A attack B with a knife, a kid might emulate that!!”
      “How about an Atomic Bomb?”
      “That’s better”

      Teaching people that hyperbole is a FIIINE thing.Report

2. I wish this weren’t MD, so I could ask “(Politician’s name redacted), are you pandering what I’m pandering?”?Report

3. I watched this every day after school, even in high school. I remember the Woodstock skit well.Report

   1. Huh. We must be closer in age than I thought we were.Report

      1. I’m 39, with the cantankerousness of a 70 year old.Report

      2. Yep, off by close to ten years!Report

      3. Wait… I watched this after school. I’m 31. When was this show on?Report

      4. 31??? Was it a one-room school house? Was it in black and white or something? Did you watch it on a CRT?Report

      5. ’93-’98.Report

4. I watched it a lot, but I have virtually no memory of it. It always seemed busier than it was entertaining. Like any sane person, I have a fondness for Pinky and the Brain (not where my username came from, btw), but even they did fall into a bit of a rut.Report

   1. Well they did have the same goal every episode.Report

5. Maybe this is so obvious that you feel silly mentioning it, but Animaniacs was produced by Steven Spielberg.

   Spielberg, of course, is best known for playing the clerk in The Blues Brothers…Report
