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.
The
show was a follow-up to Tiny Toon Adventures, and was
more original then it's inspiration. The Animaniacs had
supposedly been created in the 1930’s, but their cartoons
were too screwball for the general public. So they had
been locked inside the WB water tower until they escaped
recently, exposing themselves to the world.
