Whatever happens will be fine with me as long as they have:

"That Girl!"

I'm torn about the Animaniacs revival, mainly because I count several of the original show's writers among my Facebook friends, and two of them, Tom Ruegger (the creator of Animaniacs) and Sherri Stoner (writer and voice of Slappy Squirrel), are former interview subjects. By all accounts, they're not involved in the revival. The writing was key to what made the show such a standout in the 90s, and I don't know if it will be as good.

we at least have the original series complete on dvd ^^ maybe i'll pick that up someday.

There's some talk that Bernadette Peters might not come back as the voice of Rita.

Will we get to hear Rita sing a verse?

And thereby hangs an issue for me.

"Animaniacs" paid homage to the WB movie studio days. The "Warners" were actually hosts, or anchors, allowing the writers to create as many new charaters as needed. 

Any revival of the show should punt - and create all new characters, making a mockery of the term revival.

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.

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.

But that's just me.

Looney Tunes tried new characters all the time. Chuck and the boys knew they were onto someting based on audience reactions.

it starts on my birthday lol i already asked for the day off work that works out 

Good way to spend your birthday.

Sneak Peek
