[@alalahoward1299]

2:27 Animaniacs, not "Animatics" (you explained that the new 2020 reboot is now streaming on Hulu)

[@robjackson5245]

It's "The WB" not "WB". Secondly, "Animaniacs" should have been UPN, which was a truer Warner Bros. network unlike The WB, even though it was Paramount, but they acted more Warner Bros.ish than The WB. But they also had Warner Bros. blood way more. I'm gonna create a Warner Bros. network called WB. No "The" before it. Plus The WB tried to axe "Animaniac." It's not the only show they gave the short end of the stick. The Wayans bros. were not happy with The WB either. Seems like the Wayans got McDonald's while white people got civil food like fish and catering PFFT, at The WB. Yes I'm aware of what happened to "Half and Half" actresses on UPN, but that was rare and CBS, who owned UPN, was to blame. Another racist network like The WB. Trying to gentrify Warner Bros.. If The WB owned UPN at that time they would have done that crap.

[@bradyanderson8654]

Harry Shoemaker the wb network without batman after its first creation can't be good enough, so batman and taz-mania still on fox is so old hat.

[@BrianAwesome]

@@bradyanderson8654 Basically, Fox Kids still had Batman at the time.. even though Looney Tunes and most of the Steven Speildberg properties (animaniacs, Pinky Brain, etc.) had jumped ship to Kids wb in 1995. But Batman's contract ran out in 1997 and the WWF.. I meant KWB snatched him up.... so there was now a LARGER void left on Fox Kids to where 1) the Marvel Animated Universe and Power Rangers had to carry most of the load and 2) MANY "cartoons" were created (many with shorter lineages compared to the steven speildberg and looney tunes franchises) to try to fill in the "cartoons" void. Even though I like the "Generation Fox" era (1996-1999), It wasnt until the "Anime Invasion" started (2000) that Anime Shows finally came to better fit that void, but by then... the M.A.U.had died (with exception of Xmen reruns to promote the Hugh BadAss xmen films) and it was mainly Beast Machines, Power Rangers, and the Anime Invasion that was worthwhile. But that second and third paragraph, is at least just my opinion though...

[@robjackson5245]

Yeah but Steve Harvey and Jaime Foxx both dissed the WB. They're way more UPN.

Well yo' crew already know That juvie is where you will go Unless yo' find yo'self some sanity. So now yo' better freeze And getcha self down on yo' knees An' dontcha forget to drop the blade...
