'The Pinky and the brain, share a new domain, it's what the network wants, why bother to complain?" yep.. yep... basically describes the shows mentality.
'It's what the network wants, why bother to complain' 😆sheer genius. I wish other shows had the balls to take a swipe at their own networks. Especially ones that interfere too heavily. WB are fucking notorious for it, even as far back as this.
the staff hated this show. they believed it was forced and against their view. main reason is putting two mice with a little girl who usually abuses animals.
I actually thought the writers deserved a lot of credit for being able to come up with this -- admittedly sometimes convoluted, especially Elmyra's part -- new set of lyrics that explained the massive changes without changing the melody. My second favorite is "They're briefly and often in great pain". Obviously, someone decided to make the best of this train wreck of an idea. ("It's what the network wants....." wins hands down, of course.)
I was reading about this today. The writers and producers themselves purposely put that line in the new lyrics because they were pissed about all the changes they were being forced to do. By the time third episode aired the original creator pretty much to the network to go fuck themselves. It's a real shame too, could've been awesome if it was done right
Rayla Kame If they were high, it must have been some SERIOUSLY GOOD stuff. This is right up there -- or down there, as it were -- with New Coke. If you EVER want to explain to someone what the expression "Fixing something that ain't broke" means -- this, as I said, TRAIN WRECK OF A IDEA is a perfect example.
Pinky and the brain, share a new domain. It is what the network wants, why bother to complain?" Most badass line in the entire song. If only all writers had the balls to add lyrics like this to piles of shit they don't want to do but are forced to.
The one thing I will never understand is who at the WB really wanted an Elmyra spinoff because this wasn't the first time they tried it, no joke on Tiny Toons they had two attempted spinoffs with her, like you can tell those were back door pilots, I really wanted to find out which producer wanted the character to become a hit this badly.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain" Fuck even the writers had no chill. I can't blame them. This not only tore one of the best duos apart, but it also ruined a great show. I can't imagine what Animaniacs or Freakazoid would've looked like if they did something similar to those shows *shudder*
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do ya wanna do today. Brain: Same thing we do every day, pinky, endure Elmyra, then try to take over the world. The situation's changed For Pinky and The Brain No laboratory Alone in the rain And someone's looking 'round For where they might be found It's stinky For Pinky and The Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain. Their pressure magnified With every lab they tried They had to flee constantly Needing a place to hide Trapped inside a store A girl ran in the door She bought a discount turtle But ended up with more Elmyra: furry things are nice I love my talking mice I take them to school And make them eat rice I spray them with perfume I my own bedroom. They're wrinkly And often in great pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, Brain. So Pinky and The Brain Share a new domain It's what the network wants Why bother to complain? The earth remain a goal Some things they can't control They're Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain Brain: I deeply resent this Pinky: Troz! Elmyra: mousies!
I actually loved Elmyra -- I thought she was hilarious and completely adorable. But you could only take her in small doses. She probably couldn't have held a show on her own, and certainly not Pinky and The Brain's.
I blame the fact that the executives loved Elmyra too much, making her annoying as a result. If they wanted to give her a show, they should have just gone with creating one about Elmyra's Family, at least that had Snowball and her awesome brother Duncan.
+MFGreth You know what? As much as the producers and writers hated this show themselves, they easily could have thrown that in there, simply to add another "fuck you" to the network.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?" and Brain saying " I deeply resent this" reference that nobody working on the show wanted to do this. LOL
I love how the producers and singers actually knew this would go very well. "Now Pinky and the Brain, share a new domain, it's what the network wants, why bother to complain?
Question: Out of all the characters in Tiny Toons, can you think of a worse one to stick them with? Personally, I would have like to see Montana Max bankrolling Brain. And you can NEVER go wrong with baby plucky.
I hate to say it, but it could have been worse. Remember, Elmyra had a certain last name that was about to become quite popular around this time. Had this series actually been successful, I wouldn't have put it past WB & Disney to co-capitalize on this coincidence.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke. I mean, no studio executive would be this stupid to kill a great series like this. And the next day, it would go back to the old format... ...God, time makes fools of us all...
This theme song has stayed with me since it originally aired.... I remember trying to catch the show for just that reason. I was disappointed when they stopped showing it. Thanks for uploading it.
I cannot be the only one that really wants to see a comeback episode of Animaniacs where they tear into this pathetic corporate pandering spinoff. Whoever did the bulk of the writing for Yakko's character especially would have soooooooo much fun mocking this show.
+BattleUp Saber while its no animaniacs its fucking good! Elmyra is a great character Dare I say it - this show is BETTER than the short lived Looney Tunes revamp!
If I remember right, they made this short-lived series when the producers were pressured to draw away from the whole world domination theme and include more characters. They wound up with this one when the one of the main guys for Pinky and The Brain's show quit. Ah, that's when the Golden Age of Animation was dying out...I miss the old shows.
@MistahBJD The Executives thought that Elmyra was adorable and really wanted to feature her. So we got this. To be fair, everyone else hated the character.
They could have paired Pinky and the Brain with anyone, ANYONE other than Elmyra from "Tiny Toon Adventures" and it would have been an improvement. The sad thing was, this was the swan song for the Warner Bros. animation of that era. This was out last chance to see the casts of "Tiny Toons," "Animaniacs" or "Freakazoid" in a cartoon, and the producers chose "Elmyra". *sigh*
As Brain said, "I deeply resent this." Would've worked if it was just a special episode, as a series (which they unfortunately decided to go with), not so much.
I love how the writers gave hints about their hatred for this show. They're pinky and the brain, they have a new domain, its what the network wants, why bother to complain? Not to mention the oh so subtle "I deeply resent this."
Most of the fans of this show believe this is as a comeback to Pinky and the Brain... an Larry, which in and of itself was a counter to the exes who though that they should have 3 main charactures.
I only remember seeing an ad for this in a magazine. That's it. I don't remember ever seeing it on TV even though I watched Kids WB for most of my childhood. That being said, I can't stop laughing at this.
Pinky & the brain, now share a new domain. It's what the network wants, way bother to complain < This line makes me thing that even the staff didn't like the idea of this show
I loved this show. =D Probably the only reason why they did this was because their show wasn't as popular as the others. So they probably wanted to try something new to see how many viewers they'd get. It's still awesome though. ^^
Here what i remember about the series: The Govt. was after Pinky and The Brain and they need a place to hide...So they stay with Elmyra and at the end of the series. They were caught but the Govt decided that living with Elmyra is a worse fate than death...So they have to stay with her...Yeah it would be Hell Trapped with Elmyra!
This may have made a good one time episode. An episode in which the lab blows up, they're bought, and they somehow get the lab back. But because it replaced a great series, "I greatly resent this."
The WB released one episode of this show on an Animaniacs VHS, the tape was called, " Animaniacs- Animaniacs Stew." When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke or a gag that Animaniacs did in one of their episodes, just to mess with us. When I found out this was a real series, I was like, WTF??!!
I really did like this spin-off at first, I really did, and I still do think it's funny. However, there is just one little issue I have (that I didn't notice when I first watched for some reason): the toons who were closest to Elmyra in the _Tiny Toons_ series (Furrball and Montana Max) have been replaced by an ugly cat and a fat boy named Rudy . I didn't mind the Elymra-going-to-a-normal-human school thing and now owning Pinky and Brain (especially since she gets along so well with Pinky), but they could've at least kept Furrball.
Man, you'd think the network would've learned its lesson after the one-off Pinky and the Brain and Larry episode, which was made specifically to illustrate the point that Pinky and the Brain were better off left alone. But noooo... push push push. *sigh* Oh well, at least the writers poked fun at the whole concept in the song here.
I came here to this youtube video only for one reason, and nothing more. To wallow in the pain and shame of this ever happening to my favorite show with fellow fans. This so I would not feel alone in having my childhood memory so deliberately soiled by a network.
@knytrydr73 Oh, that's exactly why they put it in. Ever since "Pinky and the Brain" was creative, the WB executives kept trying to make them add a third character. The creators mocked the idea in the episode "Pinky and the Brain...and Larry", but a year later, the executives made them add Elmyra anyway.
After Freakazoid is complete, as well as Tiny Toon Adventures, I predict that after Season 3 + Specials of TTA, that one last pair would be released: The Plucky Duck Show & Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain! I like Plucky's spin-off better, because it's got the BEST TTA stuff on there - All the ones starring Plucky!
Only watched one episode of this show. And that was enough for me. Geesh they combined two of my favorite characters with one of my least favorite characters and made this travesty. I do like how subtle the writers were about how they didn't like this idea in the theme. XD
And we all thought Pinky & the Brain were going to take over the world one day but No they just blew it all up and jumped Elmyra into the show just like jumping the shark and killing the show.
On another note, we should all start appreciating Dil and kimi from Rugrats, along with Poof from Fairly OddParents. Any of them are better than Elmyra.
@TherealRNO Jamie Kellner thought Anamaniacs wasn't dumb enough because so many adults watched it, probably thought something like this would be dumb enough to keep adults away and more dumb kids would watch, a lot of adults still watched Pokemon and that wasn't cancelled
"It's what the network wants/Why bother to complain?" "I DEEPLY resent this." Ah, gotta love writers protesting in ways that DON'T cost them their jobs.
Also at the end when Brain says I deeply resent this. Not to mention the part where Pinky and Brain were shown kicked out of the WB office during the Why bother to complain line. Yeah it's totally easy to see how the writers felt about it.
@squadallahthistle: Feh. Charlie Adler is Buster, IMO. The only character John Kassir is most remembered for is The Cryptkeeper (ironic, since Charlie lampooned John's most iconic character before John replaced him on TTA). But yes, Charlie quit of his own choosing because of his bitterness at not getting a role on TTA's successor. Still, that doesn't excuse the executive meddling that ruined the Kid's WB.
This wasn't the best spinoff in the world, but I loved the episode about sending Elmira into space, with the My Fair Lady parody and Brain deciding to take a vacation instead of take over.
'The Pinky and the brain, share a new domain, it's what the network wants, why bother to complain?" yep.. yep... basically describes the shows mentality.
Just watch the latest Fairly Oddparents episodes.
I deeply resent this
I mean if they had said anything they would’ve just been replaced. I respect them for not abandoning their work
'It's what the network wants, why bother to complain' 😆sheer genius. I wish other shows had the balls to take a swipe at their own networks. Especially ones that interfere too heavily. WB are fucking notorious for it, even as far back as this.
+Emperor Reign I feel like watching this show just out of respect for that single line lol. So awesome.
+Emperor Reign At about 1:20 ish notice the sound of pinky and brain falling off the bldg to hide the lyric :)
Classic simpsons was awesome about taking swipes at fox. Remember Roy?
Pinky and the Brain (and Larry)
Its whats the network wants, why bother to complain? Attacking corporate control.
thanks for explaining it i for one was completely stooped as to what they were referring to
the staff hated this show. they believed it was forced and against their view. main reason is putting two mice with a little girl who usually abuses animals.
When she’s says. It’s what the network wants, why bother to complain. good work
I will always love that bit of passive agressiveness by the writers in this intro: "It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
"It's what the network want, why bother to complain?"
I deeply resent this
I actually thought the writers deserved a lot of credit for being able to come up with this -- admittedly sometimes convoluted, especially Elmyra's part -- new set of lyrics that explained the massive changes without changing the melody. My second favorite is "They're briefly and often in great pain". Obviously, someone decided to make the best of this train wreck of an idea. ("It's what the network wants....." wins hands down, of course.)
My mistake. I'm told the line is, "They're crinkly and often in great pain." OK.
I was reading about this today. The writers and producers themselves purposely put that line in the new lyrics because they were pissed about all the changes they were being forced to do. By the time third episode aired the original creator pretty much to the network to go fuck themselves. It's a real shame too, could've been awesome if it was done right
+Lorenzo Goode would still have been crap, a 3rd character is useless. The Larry episode clearly shows Pinky and the Brain is a perfect "couple".
Rayla Kame
If they were high, it must have been some SERIOUSLY GOOD stuff. This is right up there -- or down there, as it were -- with New Coke. If you EVER want to explain to someone what the expression "Fixing something that ain't broke" means -- this, as I said, TRAIN WRECK OF A IDEA is a perfect example.
Textbook example of executive meddling, and the writers made no secret about their displeasure over it.
Pinky and the brain, share a new domain. It is what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
Most badass line in the entire song. If only all writers had the balls to add lyrics like this to piles of shit they don't want to do but are forced to.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
So many "fuck you"s in this intro song towards the network.
I don't know who at Amblin loved Elmyra so much that they kept putting her in shows, but thank you, you nutter.
It was Steven Spielberg.
The one thing I will never understand is who at the WB really wanted an Elmyra spinoff because this wasn't the first time they tried it, no joke on Tiny Toons they had two attempted spinoffs with her, like you can tell those were back door pilots, I really wanted to find out which producer wanted the character to become a hit this badly.
My mother really liked Elmyra when I was a kid. She really struck a chord with some people.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain" Fuck even the writers had no chill. I can't blame them. This not only tore one of the best duos apart, but it also ruined a great show. I can't imagine what Animaniacs or Freakazoid would've looked like if they did something similar to those shows *shudder*
Animaniacs is getting a reboot on hulu.
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do ya wanna do today.
Brain: Same thing we do every day, pinky, endure Elmyra, then try to take over the world.
The situation's changed
For Pinky and The Brain
No laboratory
Alone in the rain
And someone's looking 'round
For where they might be found
It's stinky
For Pinky and The Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain.
Their pressure magnified
With every lab they tried
They had to flee constantly
Needing a place to hide
Trapped inside a store
A girl ran in the door
She bought a discount turtle
But ended up with more
Elmyra: furry things are nice
I love my talking mice
I take them to school
And make them eat rice
I spray them with perfume
I my own bedroom.
They're wrinkly
And often in great pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, Brain.
So Pinky and The Brain
Share a new domain
It's what the network wants
Why bother to complain?
The earth remain a goal
Some things they can't control
They're Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain
Brain: I deeply resent this
Pinky: Troz!
Elmyra: mousies!
Whoever wrote "It's what the network wants; why bother to complain?" is the real mvp.
don't forget about Larry.
I actually loved Elmyra -- I thought she was hilarious and completely adorable. But you could only take her in small doses. She probably couldn't have held a show on her own, and certainly not Pinky and The Brain's.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course not! She can’t do well over these small doses!
I love how they used the main theme to say how much this idea sucked.
Love how the creators took shots at the plot of Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain throughout this intro :P
it's a really bad sign when the theme song is better than my actual show.
ClackMan Maybe i forgot to look there haha.
I blame the fact that the executives loved Elmyra too much, making her annoying as a result.
If they wanted to give her a show, they should have just gone with creating one about Elmyra's Family, at least that had Snowball and her awesome brother Duncan.
---AND LARRY!
+MFGreth You know what? As much as the producers and writers hated this show themselves, they easily could have thrown that in there, simply to add another "fuck you" to the network.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?" and Brain saying " I deeply resent this" reference that nobody working on the show wanted to do this. LOL
I love how the producers and singers actually knew this would go very well.
"Now Pinky and the Brain, share a new domain, it's what the network wants, why bother to complain?
It depends on the episode. Elmyra culd be funny in some of them, but had to be in her element.
Question: Out of all the characters in Tiny Toons, can you think of a worse one to stick them with? Personally, I would have like to see Montana Max bankrolling Brain. And you can NEVER go wrong with baby plucky.
How the heck did they get this theme song past the network. They are basically calling them out for what they did.
My guess is the network was too busy counting the money and ratings they are making with a certain anime.
I hate to say it, but it could have been worse. Remember, Elmyra had a certain last name that was about to become quite popular around this time. Had this series actually been successful, I wouldn't have put it past WB & Disney to co-capitalize on this coincidence.
+MultiAnimationdude You just had me throwing up into my mouth.
I apologize, I understand the idea is hard to stomach. If it's any consolation, I'm also glad it didn't get there.
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
You can really tell that the writers really hated having to do this show.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke. I mean, no studio executive would be this stupid to kill a great series like this. And the next day, it would go back to the old format...
...God, time makes fools of us all...
This theme song has stayed with me since it originally aired.... I remember trying to catch the show for just that reason. I was disappointed when they stopped showing it. Thanks for uploading it.
And my mom got me this on DVD for Valentine's Day. I was like, "Mom why?!" XD
If this theme song were all it were, this show would have been brilliant.
This feels so wrong... WHY??? WHY? WHY DID THEY DO THIS??
***** No it isn't.
Jane B It's what the network wants. Why bother to complain?
tom and jerry reference
........................................................ Because they can!
I cannot be the only one that really wants to see a comeback episode of Animaniacs where they tear into this pathetic corporate pandering spinoff.
Whoever did the bulk of the writing for Yakko's character especially would have soooooooo much fun mocking this show.
Those poor writers. :(
0:26 just break my heart seeing them sad :,C
Anyone came here after the new Nostalgia Critic video?
+BattleUp Saber I did, I actually didn't know of this show's existence until the Nostalgia Critic video.
+BattleUp Saber eup
+BattleUp Saber yep
+BattleUp Saber yes
+BattleUp Saber while its no animaniacs
its fucking good!
Elmyra is a great character
Dare I say it - this show is BETTER than the short lived Looney Tunes revamp!
If I remember right, they made this short-lived series when the producers were pressured to draw away from the whole world domination theme and include more characters. They wound up with this one when the one of the main guys for Pinky and The Brain's show quit. Ah, that's when the Golden Age of Animation was dying out...I miss the old shows.
@MistahBJD

We all do, Brain.
They could have paired Pinky and the Brain with anyone, ANYONE other than Elmyra from "Tiny Toon Adventures" and it would have been an improvement.
The sad thing was, this was the swan song for the Warner Bros. animation of that era. This was out last chance to see the casts of "Tiny Toons," "Animaniacs" or "Freakazoid" in a cartoon, and the producers chose "Elmyra". *sigh*

this series won an Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program.
I have two things to say : 1, how was the laboratory destroyed ?, and 2, I kinda feel bad for pinky and the brain to be stuck with Elmira.
"Pinky and the Brain, both share a new domain! It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
Having to live with Elmyra THE HORROR THE HORROR THE HORROR!!!
R.I.P Pinky and Brain... You'll be remembered for the amazing TV show you had before this young child decided to come along. We'll all miss you. :*(
"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?"
"I deeply regret this."
Seems like no one wanted to do this show.
I only remember seeing an ad for this in a magazine. That's it. I don't remember ever seeing it on TV even though I watched Kids WB for most of my childhood.
That being said, I can't stop laughing at this.
i deeply rest this
+linakorig9 Er... Like Jigglypuff you mean?
-_- *resent this sorry my bad
I'm probably stating the obvious, but Elmyra sounds like she's voiced by the same person who did Susie Carmichael on Rugrats.
A show I grew up with by the way.
They're both voiced by Cree Summer.
viacommustdie4 Wow, I was right
Don't forget Numbuh Five.
I miss this years so much.
Pinky & the brain, now share a new domain. It's what the network wants, way bother to complain < This line makes me thing that even the staff didn't like the idea of this show
Scrappy Doo, we owe you an apology.
Yup. Elmyra Duff makes that little booger of a great dane a heel lot more tolerable.
And now it's coming out on DVD... just when I had forgotten about it. *FUCK.*
I deeply resent ever watching this show when it premiered
I loved this show. =D
Probably the only reason why they did this was because their show wasn't as popular as the others. So they probably wanted to try something new to see how many viewers they'd get.
It's still awesome though. ^^
Here what i remember about the series: The Govt. was after Pinky and The Brain and they need a place to hide...So they stay with Elmyra and at the end of the series. They were caught but the Govt decided that living with Elmyra is a worse fate than death...So they have to stay with her...Yeah it would be Hell Trapped with Elmyra!
OH GOD I NEED TO WATCH THIS NOW.
No DVD ever got released, not even digitized recordings are available online... Whyyyy?!?
@SquigPie Oh TV Tropes, you'll never fail at getting us to youtube to watch things we never knew existed.
"It's what the network wants. Why bother to complain?"
I love a show with a self-depreciating theme song.
This may have made a good one time episode. An episode in which the lab blows up, they're bought, and they somehow get the lab back. But because it replaced a great series, "I greatly resent this."
The WB released one episode of this show on an Animaniacs VHS, the tape was called, " Animaniacs- Animaniacs Stew." When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke or a gag that Animaniacs did in one of their episodes, just to mess with us. When I found out this was a real series, I was like, WTF??!!
I really did like this spin-off at first, I really did, and I still do think it's funny. However, there is just one little issue I have (that I didn't notice when I first watched for some reason): the toons who were closest to Elmyra in the _Tiny Toons_ series (Furrball and Montana Max) have been replaced by an ugly cat and a fat boy named Rudy .
I didn't mind the Elymra-going-to-a-normal-human school thing and now owning Pinky and Brain (especially since she gets along so well with Pinky), but they could've at least kept Furrball.
Even though was a bad idea for a spinoff, they at least get points for an awesome revamp of the theme...
Sadly, this spin-off never lasted that long, but I'm glad the theme is still is good as always. :D
i truly miss this show
Makes me feel kinda bad for Pinky and the Brain, that the lab was no more and they have to live with Elmyra.
Man, you'd think the network would've learned its lesson after the one-off Pinky and the Brain and Larry episode, which was made specifically to illustrate the point that Pinky and the Brain were better off left alone. But noooo... push push push. *sigh* Oh well, at least the writers poked fun at the whole concept in the song here.
"It's what the network wants, so why bother to complain?"
Says it all right there.
Pinky and the Brain as Elmyra's pets was a sound concept for a one-off episode. Making it an ongoing series was insufferable.
What were they thinking? Pinky and the Brain was genius! Did they have to saddle poor Brain with another simpleton?
I didn't even know this show existed until I read about it.
I came here to this youtube video only for one reason, and nothing more. To wallow in the pain and shame of this ever happening to my favorite show with fellow fans. This so I would not feel alone in having my childhood memory so deliberately soiled by a network.
As the theme song said, "Elmyra is a pain!"
Pinky and the Brain, share a new domain.
It's what the network wants, why bother to complain?
later
Pinky says, I resent this.
Best lines ever.
@knytrydr73 Oh, that's exactly why they put it in. Ever since "Pinky and the Brain" was creative, the WB executives kept trying to make them add a third character. The creators mocked the idea in the episode "Pinky and the Brain...and Larry", but a year later, the executives made them add Elmyra anyway.
After Freakazoid is complete, as well as Tiny Toon Adventures, I predict that after Season 3 + Specials of TTA, that one last pair would be released: The Plucky Duck Show & Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain!
I like Plucky's spin-off better, because it's got the BEST TTA stuff on there - All the ones starring Plucky!
I always loved Pinky and the Brain and Elmrya so both combined was awesome xD
wow, i slightly remember this one!! hahaha! Pinky and the Brain was one of my favorite shows! oh, i miss those old days... :(
Only watched one episode of this show. And that was enough for me. Geesh they combined two of my favorite characters with one of my least favorite characters and made this travesty. I do like how subtle the writers were about how they didn't like this idea in the theme. XD
And we all thought Pinky & the Brain were going to take over the world one day but No they just blew it all up and jumped Elmyra into the show just like jumping the shark and killing the show.
"now pinky and the brain
share a new domain
its what the network wants
why bother to complain"
this just about says it all
This show shouldn't have even existed.
Plot Twist: Elmyra get expelled from Acme Looniversity and this happened
1:22 There's the same water tower (That means Yakko,Wakko and Dot's home)!
On another note, we should all start appreciating Dil and kimi from Rugrats, along with Poof from Fairly OddParents. Any of them are better than Elmyra.
@TherealRNO
Jamie Kellner thought Anamaniacs wasn't dumb enough because so many adults watched it, probably thought something like this would be dumb enough to keep adults away and more dumb kids would watch, a lot of adults still watched Pokemon and that wasn't cancelled
"It's what the network wants/Why bother to complain?" "I DEEPLY resent this." Ah, gotta love writers protesting in ways that DON'T cost them their jobs.
The earth remains a goal, but some things that can't control, also works along those same lines as well
i actrualy have a few favorite episodes from this series but it never needed to be retooled.
Also at the end when Brain says I deeply resent this. Not to mention the part where Pinky and Brain were shown kicked out of the WB office during the Why bother to complain line. Yeah it's totally easy to see how the writers felt about it.
You have got to be kidding me...what has happened to one of my childhood classics
@squadallahthistle: Feh. Charlie Adler is Buster, IMO. The only character John Kassir is most remembered for is The Cryptkeeper (ironic, since Charlie lampooned John's most iconic character before John replaced him on TTA). But yes, Charlie quit of his own choosing because of his bitterness at not getting a role on TTA's successor. Still, that doesn't excuse the executive meddling that ruined the Kid's WB.
This wasn't the best spinoff in the world, but I loved the episode about sending Elmira into space, with the My Fair Lady parody and Brain deciding to take a vacation instead of take over.
1:17
That's ballsy as hell to call out their own studio like that. It essentially mocks them every episode.
1:17
1:17 It doesn't mock them it's showing how they don't like the change they did with the shows
