Shark Bytes

Okay hold on a sec. you see that really long comment on page four. I'm not speaking for anamaniacs even though I love it so but I'm going to point something out. It's people like this that make me sick. This person is not crazy or deranged for all such reasons like not enjoying anamaniacs or the 90's. But for rejecting and pummelling peoples joy from this show. This person is obviously in a bad mood and can't even bear to let out a chuckle at slight humor found on any cartoon. As for jumping the shark? It didn't. there are many times where it avoided the shark and we didn't notice. The reason it was cancelled is because a new generation of cartoon artists came along with the new century and apparently these classic cartoons didn't fit their taste so now children must engage in stupidity such as spongebob. On a shorter note: Avatar: the last good show on nick.

I used to watch Animaniacs on WTXF 29.

Animaniacs could fit fine with today's humor. it is just like Family Guy or American Dad or even the comedian Cathy Griffin but aimed at a younger crowd with much didactic clips. My guess, it it that it was ahead of its time.

I loved Elmira, The Pinky and the Brain, but hated chicken Boo. There was something for everyone... very clever! I CAN"T WAIT FOR A COME BACK!!

Wait! Don't bring it back! Here me out...
I loved this show too, but if it's brought back, there is an excellent chance that the jump will happen. Right now, it hasn't jumped the shark. Let's keep it that way. Many sharks are jumped because a show is brought back.

I completely agree with most of the statements here: Bring this show back, damnit! It was a classic. My favorite episode: Hot Bothered and Bedeviled. Who wouldn't think that the Warners in Hades wouldn't be funny? Let this generation see what they're missing out on, instead of this crap that is poisoning our children's minds. I used to come home every day and watch this, Earthworm Jim and then Freakazoid all in a row. Bring it back!

The show never jumped, though it did come close on occasions. (Wakko's Wish, anyone?)

I admit, I don't really remember this show very well (I did watch it, but not very often), and most of my knowledge came from watching clips on Youtube, but still. I can see how some parts could be considered annoying (The Warner siblings got on my nerves at times), the pop culture references sometimes felt very, very forced, and Buttons and Mindy was just plain terrible, but I'm absolutely astonished by how witty this show was at times, with their spot-on translations of Shakespeare works and innuendo so clever and subtle that jokes like "finger-Prince" and "PIANIST!" made it past the censors.

And the songs? Usually I hate singing in cartoons, but these songs were catchy, brilliantly written, and just plain awesome. They were educational, but in a very enjoyable way.

Also: The episode Woodstock Slappy had a reference to my favorite band of all time. (Yes) That automatically gives them points in my eyes.

It never jumped. It could have if it was never canceled, but through its lifetime, it never did.

It jumped when I saw Dot for the first time. She is the definition of "cute but ugly". I loved Tiny Toon Adventures because Babs and Fifi were hot. I couldn't find anything hot about Dot.

The show made up for Dot's cute ugliness and jumped back to the good side with Minerva Mink and the Good Idea Bad Idea stuff.

animaniacs was the an good show but probably wont jump the shark

Animaniacs NEVER JUMPED THE SHARK. This is better than the junk thats on T.V. right now. Shoot, I rather watch this than brainless stupid cartoons.

it didn't ever jump, the making fun of cartoons, looney tunes cameos, the hidden adult jokes, the pop culutre references (sadly, now most of which are null and void), the running gags never got old (hellooooooooooooooooooo nurse, etc.).

The things that did hurt though- 1-minerva mink being unfairly dumped due to her inneudo, 2-pinky, elmira and the brain, 3-katy kaboom.

Yeah its too bad they won't put it back on air. I'm an 18 year old teen now and watched animaniacs back when i was 3 and until it stopped airing here. If there's any show they should bring back its animaniacs. The early 90's stuff was the only good cartoon stuff. I love this line from dot and then wakko right after

Dot " And whats so special about it?"
Wakko" I'm Not wearing any pants!"

never jumped, the only bad things were katey ka-boom, and elmira

Animaniacs?, Jump the Shark? HAHAH! It never did. Everybody rocked; Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Slappy, Goodfeathers, Pinky and the Brain, Docter ScratchNSniff, the list goes on. Yeah, it did kinda stink when Elmrya came, but she was just a minor setback. Everything was funny, the Looney Tunes cameos, the celebrity cameos (most of which Y, Y, & D fell for lol), none of the humor seemed to be forced or recycled at all. (Exept Chicken Boo or whatever, but it was tolerable). This show was truly wonderful, never lost it, never bad, never jumped the shark.

Sadly, in 40-50-60 years (when the copyright expires, and Stephen Speilberg is long gone), it will probably be ruined by an Unoriginal, Crappy, kiddie movie remake. (ie Underdog (2007), How the Grinch stole Christmas (2000) (Thats when it will jump for me) I hope that never happens, God, I hope it doesn't. If it does, let it be a good movie, please.

This and Freakazoid! were quite possibly the last two shows ever to air before the censors went completely insane. I miss all the good old shows. Now we get crap like iCarly and Hannah Montana. Kids today don't know what they are missing.

In fifth grade (1998-99 school year) I had my whole class learn Wakko's America for our test on the states and capitols. Nobody got less than a 95%.

I used to do the I'm Cute routine with my two guy friends. It would crack our parents up.

I'm planning on doing a costume of one of the Warners. ^^

(Wth was up with the hippos, Chicken Boo, and Katie Kaboom, though? Painful to watch.)

Good idea: Taking a deep breath before diving into a swimming pool.
Bad idea: Taking a deep breath *after* diving into a swimming pool.

FLAMIEL! HOIL!
