> Plucky Duck had his own dedicated program during Tiny Toons Adventures' airingWas he really that popular compared to Buster, Babs and the rest of the cast?
>>150586516No. Those were also just repackaged tiny toon shorts. I think there was literally ONLY ONE new short.
>>150586547For what purpose?
>>150586516Yeah actually.He and Hamton were the most popular of the tiny tunesAnd his baby plucky "It go down the hOOOOOooole" joke was unbelievably popular.They actually ended up making daffy and porky act more like plucky and hamton because of how good it was.
>>150586571To play around with Plucky's Daffy-like ego.
>>150586516Real fans wanted a Fifi show back at the time.
>>150586576were there even a lot of daffy and porky episodes from the original looney tunes? the only one that comes to mind is the robin hood one
>>150586779Yes, alot of them came from Bob Clampett and Bob McKimson; Chuck Jones did alot of them too.
>>150586516Tiny Toons was already playing 6 days a week by that time. Monday-Friday plus Saturday.So by the next September, they “gave “ Plucky the Saturday morning slot, which really was one new episode saying he had his own show. Every other episode was repackaged Plucky episodes from Tiny Toons.
>>150586779>Daffy and Porky trying to dodge paying their hotel bill by fleeing the manager>Daffy as a crooked insurance salesman trying to show Porky why he needs a nonsensical policy>Daffy running a motel that charges 10 cents for the room, but gouges Porky's wallet on other expensesThose are just off the top of my head.
>>150586779Duck Dodgers, you retard.
>Plucky spinoff>failed Elmyra spinoff with her family>loads of merch and video gamesWhy did they kill off Tiny Toons so fast? It only lasted 2 years despite being successful and popular far longer than that.
>>150586842Because the staff wanted to do something actually new, and so everybody jumped ship to Animaniacs.
>>150586796>>150586845Aahh! Famicom!
>>150586847But Animanaics failed in Japan, only had two Konami games, one of which didn't get a Japanese release.
>>150586516That was mostly a repack of old episodes with new footage around them, which was the style of the time for many 80s and 90s shows.
>>150586888Anon said they wanted to do new stuff not that it was smart or the right call. If they only followed dollar signs we would have never gotten shows like Frerakazoid or The Looney Tunes Show.
>>150586888The other one was on the Mega Drive which Sega already killed off in Japan by then.
>>150586779There was a handful.
>>150586889Not even that, it was just Tiny Toons reruns, other then The Return of Batduck the episodes were 1 to 1 to their Tiny Toons originals.
>>150586905>The Looney Tunes Show.Zoomerhands typed this. This came out 20 years later and was made by other people.
>>150586917And Return of Batduck got rolled back into the regular Tiny Toons syndication.
>>150587049That too, on top of being ordered as a Tiny Toons episode.
What was Plucky's character? Just green Daffy?
>>150587795Essentially
>>150587795>>150588816Yes but only the ego of Daffy never the wacky craziness.
>>150586516He looks really weirdly-drawn there…
>>150586758Real fans still do.
>>150586516he was the only funny character
>>150586576I remember people saying the "ball go down the hoooole" line irl, and I don't even live in the US.
>>150586571Because X-Men wasn't ready to air yet and they needed a stop-gap show to fill its timeslot.
>>150589554How can you say that when Barky Marky exists?
>>150588875It’s from the title cards which were done really early on.
>>150589807Basically this. People forgot how delayed the X-Men cartoon was, and what problems came up even during the first season. I never knew why they pulled X-Men in favor of Mighty Mouse for a while during the first season till I read this back in the day
>>150587795>>150588868He must be the the best character on the show who isn't different in any real way from his model. Usually the characters who are too much like the original are kind of forgettable while the most memorable characters are the ones who have some distance from the original; that's one reason a lot of the most popular characters are the girls (I didn't say the only reason).Also Shirley sort of took over the wacky side of Daffy, except it was channeled into being mystical and weird. Sort of like Buster is the wisecracking deadpan Bugs and Babs is the screwball Bugs, but her screwiness is being an actual comedian and doing impressions and generally being Sherri Stoner's self-insert.
>>150591502NICE!
>>150591183Tiny Toons itself was always a different show in terms of writing and art, especially during the first season.
>>150593878I miss that thing about cartoons, especially Looney Tunes. Everyone made their own impact on the show. Now, even the best cartoons have a homogenous feeling episode to episode.
>>150593878>>150595188That's what happens when you need to make 65 episodes in one year.
>>150586516Yeah, Plucky was the most popular character in the show. to the point that Animaniacs was going to be something incredibly similar starring green ducks. Buster and Babs came off as annoyingly smug pricks to most audiences.
>>150586842That's how shows worked back then. They made about 60-70 episodes and then let it sit in syndication for about 3-4 more years. Even if it was successful they still cut the production and made something else.
>>150586888Animaniacs got 5 seasons, 100 episodes, a successful spinoff, and a second round of syndication on Nickelodeon.It did just fine.
>>150591394I never knew there was a technical reason X-Men was pushed back to February 93. I thought fox was just holding on to it so they could have a sweeps premiere later on down the road.
>>150586779Daffy and Porky are probably one of the most consistently paired duos outside of the established "rivalry duos"
>>150597011Not true on the Buster and Babs part.
>>150597084Season 1 is 65 episodes, it had 34 episodes across 4 seasons. Hell, season 2 is 4 episodes long.
>>150586516Plucky was great. Probably the most solid parallel to his Looney Tunes ancestor because he's an egotist suffering lots of comeuppance. He paired well with Hampton, too. I think he's probably the most entertaining character by his lonesome.
>>150597011The only thing I didn't care for about Buster and Babs was they were always treating the show like they were hosts and talking to the camera. Kids aren't the Johnny Carson generation. Cut that shit out. When they get into actual plots they're perfectly enjoyable.
>>150597443>Kids aren't the Johnny Carson generation.Yes, they are, because unlike Jimmy Kimmel Johnny Carson is timeless
>>150586516Man I need to watch this. But I should probably finish other shit before I do. I got through 2 seasons of BTAS and then I got distracted and I still need to finish that and then find the rest of the DCAU on dvd alongside TT. Weird thing is that the experience I had with this show is exclusively through the TMBG music videos. I caught maybe one ep on boomerang as well as Animaniacs mostly. Wakko's wish was something I rented from the library. Pinky and the Brain was mostly what I watched.>>150586576Ah so that's where the Cream the Rabbit line in Metropolis Mayhem came from. Ugh, hearing actual small kids talking in the cartoon was off-putting. I mean it's not too disturbing but just...I dunno I haven't watched anything with that in forever.
>>150597683That's not the point of the statement, anon. Kids of the 90's are not late night TV enthusiasts. It was written by that generation, but it wasn't what the audience was into.
>>150597864>It was written by that generationI explained that poorly. The generation that wrote it are Baby Boomers and maybe early Gen X. But they clearly wrote it as if they themselves were the audience. Same goes for Animaniacs and other WB cartoons. That's why they approached it like sketch comedy, because they were into things like Saturday Night Live.
>>150586516No, they just did that sometimes. Reminder Elmyra got her own show as well.
>>150591394Saban worked on X-Men?!
>>150586803One of them is a remake of a short staring Porky and a different character called Gabby Goat, he was in only 3 shorts before being replaced because people found him way too short tempered and abrasive to be likable.It took him 80 years to show up again in a Wabbit/New Loony Tuness short Gettin' Your Goat
Do you think they ever rhymed Plucky with Fucky?
>>150602358No, but they could’ve rhymed Babs with Dabs
>>150602675>No, but they could’ve rhymed Babs with Batgirl.Fixed, because Bruce Timm worked on Tiny Toons before he did Batman:TAS.
>>150602358They did, internallyThey indirectly acknowledge this in the credits by mentioning that Plucky wasn't included in The Name Game song in that one episode.
>>150602840So funny.
>>150600611Saban produced the Fox Kids marvel stuff like X-Men, Spider-Man, and Silver Surfer.
>>150586516I don't know. Is he that popular than we expect?
>>150605720He’s repulsive in-Universe.
>>150606273LOL
post more tiny toons fags.
>>150608946no, kys.
>>150586889>which was the style of the time for many 80s and 90s showsTHREE STOOGES ARE BETTER THAN ONE
>>150608946Okay.Shirley thread last month was kino, but I don’t predict (heh) we’ll be that active again for a long time.
Better that based Plucky get his own show than make Elmyra a 3rd wheel to a GOAT tag team.
>>150597345Season 1 was primarily made for Syndication. The fact that it got more episodes past that at all, let alone a whopping 34 extra episodes AND a DVD movie on top of that meant it was one of the biggest successes of the 90s.
>>150611127Everyone agrees that the Kids WB era sucked. Only a few memorable skits and they tossed out many of the reccurring segments they had. Wakko's Wish was also worse than How I Spent My Vacation.
>>150606273I mean he is a green duck...
>>150586516He was quite popular. Plucky and Babs carried the show. No one really cared about Buster other than he was attached to Babs.
>>150587795I kind of remember he was like a determined underdog type character thst had loose morals. There was an episode about fpotball and Plucky pretended to betray his school for the rival school. It seemed consistent until the last minute where it was actually a plan.
>>150612570and canonically smelly.
