Well, kids -- for your viewing pleasure, here is the freshly-completed
rendition of the TTA Reference Guide, brimming over with production data,
credits info, and informative facts & entertaining comments from all you
toonsters out there.
It's been a helluva lot of work maintaining this beast, but believe it or
not, I've enjoyed every minute of it -- being scribe and chronicler for the
enthusiasm and wit found on alt.tv.tiny-toon has been a real pleasure.
I will continue to maintain the Reference Guide, including adding future
comments made on existing episodes on the newsgroup. If you have any need
to contact me concerning the Ref Guide, my lines are always open.
In the meantime, sit back & relax, browse through some eps (check out all
the kewel comments in Season 3!), look for your name in the Commentaries
list, browse some more -- and Enjoy!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: This Reference Guide features the main credits for
each episode of TINY TOON ADVENTURES, including official production title,
first airdate, writers, directors, toon cast list, voiceover artists,
animation houses, and -- of course -- the "gag" credit and end tag. Also
to be found embedded within its depths are comments, gripes, praises,
noteworthy observations and other witty asides by the folks on Usenet's
alt.tv.tiny-toon. Give 'em a hand, won't you ...
The Guide is best visualized in its four major parts:
1. Alphabetical Index of Episode Titles
2. Alphabetical Index of Shorts Titles
3. Chronological Listing of Episodes: First Season (1990-1991)
4. Chronological Listing of Episodes: Second Season (1991-1992)
5. Chronological Listing of Episodes: Third Season (1992-1993)
Episodes are listed according to first airdate on TINY TOON ADVENTURES in
the United States. (Some episodes or shorts may have debuted prior to TTA
on THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW; TPDS airdate information is given in context of
the TTA listing.) Indexes give TTA airdates as locations for looking up
a particular episode.
All episode titles are the official Warner/Amblin production titles. Some
official titles may not actually appear in the episode (i.e. multi-shorts
episodes).
Because of the lengthy nature of the Guide, on-line browsing, while initially
fun and exciting, can become frustrating and cumbersome. Use a text editor's
search command to jump straight to an episode or short title, guest star,
etc.; or better yet, print out the contents on hardcopy (the smaller the
font, the better) and staple together for an instant coffee-table book or
VCR library companion -- the indexes in the front will tell you an episode
or short's location, and the chronological listing will enable you to flip
right to it.
Any comments, error correction, criticisms, or general reports of citizens
in peril brought to the attention of the editor are most appreciated.

"Drooley Davey"
Written by Tom Minton, Paul Dini & Beth Bornstein
Directed by Kent Butterworth
[ Elmyra, Davey ]
[ Check out the car's license plate as it leaves. This would have been a good
place for another Elmyra/Sneezer cartoon, IMHO. I'm envious of Davey because
of his Buster Bunny doll. It looks so much more realistic than the ones in the
stores ... This short represents a good data point in the ongoing debate of
whether Elmyra is malicious or stupid. -NS ]
