Now this is for a very specific age range.

I am in that age range :)

Maybe Animaniacs has a larger audience than I thought...  I thought I was right in the middle and I was born in '83

The age range must be enormous. I was born in '67.

I am going to the Winchester and waiting for it all to blow over.

I emerged from my host in '87 and I feel like I'm probably about at the tail end of the Animaniac Era.

In reply to Ethnic Food-Wrap Aficionado :

I have watched a bunch of Animanics and I was born in 88. Heck I was on an ultimate frisbee team called the Ultimanics and most of the people were younger then me and knew Animanics.

Another '88 here. Very fond childhood memories of Animaniacs, though having watched a lot of it lately I can say I was not really in the target audience.

'78, and I was a frequent poster on the Animaniacs newsgroup, after Tiny Toon Adventures wound down.  A lot of the people were in college even in the TTA days.  It's been a (very) long time, but I recall that the writing was pretty good, with a lot of nuances that maybe you'd have to be of a well developed mind to appreciate (not necessarily "adult jokes", just subtle things, references to much older literature and movies, etc) and it was all a nice continuation for those of us who grew up watching Looney Tunes cartoons every Saturday morning as impressionable youth.

I suppose that is also somewhat obvious in hindsight - the online community at te time was almost entirely people in education or a tech business, as this was before commercial content was allowed online.  It was all .edu and .gov and .net domains on peoples' e-mail addresses.  (as well as the .uk's and .fi's and .de's)

And then the Neverending September happened.

Pretty sure I was in high school when Yakko's World aired, as I remember being able to sing it in entirety while between classes.  (I WAS THE COOLEST HIGH SCHOOL BOY EVER)  Nowadays, um... can I use one of my lifelines?

Luckily the Winchester is only about 25 minutes away.  I can get there safely.

In reply to Patrick :

The guy that voiced Yakko (his name escapes me) performed that song in one take. And he has since added a verse for the countries that have been founded since that song was written.

78' and now showing my 4yo daughter animaniacs. She really likes pinky and the brain.

Brain is the crazy one (trying to take over the world with ridiculous plans) and that Pinky is actually grounded and often finds flaws (or solutions to) the Brain's plans, but is ignored.

“How is it that my beautifully crafted plans to take over the world never succeed while you say the first thing that comes into your head and wind up changing the nation’s monetary policy?” — Brain

FWIW, if you want something similar that is pretty modern, check out Cupcake and Dino: General Services.  Safe for 4 year olds, hugely entertaining for those of us that are older.
