Tiny Toons: 20th Anniversary

[Psycho Fox]

(You're not the only one, Silverstar. )

Back in that day I used to watch Entertainment Tonight to find out little tidbits on animation(...what internet?). It was about July/August on ET where they gave a behind the scenes look at TTA. With great interest, I set out to record the prime time premiere on CBS. I was a little disappointed to learn it was just a one time event in prime time, thinking of how The Simpsons became a success in prime time earlier that year.

Well I doubt TTA could have held up in prime time outside How I Spent My Vacation.

As much as I enjoyed Tiny Toon Adventures, I doubt that it would have been a success running in prime time outside of basic cable. Network execs would take one look at the cute talking animals and immediately write the series off as being kid vid.

I was 5 at the time. Living in San Diego, it actually aired on the local channel called KUSI instead of a Fox affiliate or something like that, coming on right after Ninja Turtles. I actually wasn't interested since it actually took the spot of another cartoon I watched immediately after TMNT and I wanted that show back in its time slot (silly me), but while being babysat one day she turned it to TTA and I became hooked with it by the time it ended. Two decades later and I'm still a fan.

Tiny Toon Adventures began in syndication; it didn't join Fox until 1993.
