Actually, much to my dismay and neverending grief, I haven't seen an episode of either Tiny Toons or Animaniacs since high school (and I'm kind of old). Alas and alack! But they left quite the...

Frankly, I personally see no reason to be paranoid about it. I say what I think, and if they don't like it, they can ignore it, just like the rest of you can. So they played really cool characters...
