Taz-Mania

Another fun 90'a cartoon, anyone else agree?

I remember this as part of the What's Up Doc? block on CITV in the 90s.

I haven’t watched it in 17 years, but I remember it being fun to watch. Platypus brothers and the hunters who were trying to catch Taz were hilarious.

Always kinda weird when they try to put these wackier characters in more realistic (or slightly more realistic) settings and yet the character themselves barely change.

Making Taz a member of a more traditional family that all talk and act normal while Taz is still this savage untamed beast barely able to talk makes him kinda look like he got mental issues.

The same can be said for Elmyra whenever she was in Pinky and the Brain where now she is coexisting alongside normal human kids and yet she still acts braindead.

This is my take as well, and why I didn't like Taz-Mania and Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain very much. Didn't hate them, but they were mostly background noise for me when I was a kid.

Loved this show as a kid, and loved the sega game. The show felt like a sister show to tiny toons and animaniacs

Well, I mean it is another show using Looney Tunes as a basis but with mostly original characters...

I am still hoping this will get a blu ray release though not sure if it got finished on DVD.

Dude, I still don't know what they were thinking giving Elmyra her own spinoff series and a starring role with Pinky and the Brain. They must've really saw something in her but to us kids, she only works in small doses.

I'm surprised this show came out in 1991. Always thought is came out later, maybe around when Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries came out. I don't remember the show too well but the theme song was catchy. I played a few games based on it for Game Boy and Sega Genesis where Marvin the Martian abducted him.

I wasn't big on Elmyra but I did like it when they finally showed her family in Tiny Toon Adventures.
