Episode 5:
This reminded me a lot of the Animaniacs comic book, where there were some truly threatening and scary villains, unlike the show where the scariest it got was Buddy. And like this new show, the comic spent most of its time on the Warners and the mice, and that fact was eventually lampshaded.
Then Pinky and the Brain were spun off into their own book and they had to use Slappy to fill the space, which was...a LOT like the old show.
If you're gonna throw out a nerdy fact, get it right. Charlton Woodchuck's appearance in Episode 74 was called "The Kid In The Lid," not "My Father The Tuna." "Tuna" was the fictional show being preempted in Episode 65 (which did star Chalton, or would have).
Eeeesh, this was hard to watch. A lot of people seem to love it, but for a good chunk it's implied a lot of the third-string characters are missing because THEY WERE KILLED. Don't pull a Chrono Cross, guys! Give us a little hope! And who knew Chicken Boo had such an evil streak?
They're revealed to be alive at the end, but.....wow. Did NOT need to see Skippy's frozen expression of panic or Rita's decapitated lifeless glassy eyes. Note that Colin (the Randy Beaman kid) isn't among them, likely because they did not want to imply a little boy had been mounted and stuffed. For this same reason, you never see Mindy on the wall.
