Information Yakko, Wakko, and Dot ran wild around the lot, pursued by studio CEO Thaddeus Plotz, security guard Ralph, studio psychiatrist Dr. Scratchinsniff, and Scratchinsniff’s buxom assistant, Hello Nurse (Who didn’t really have to do much pursuing, if you know what I mean. “Hellooooooo, Nurse!”). The show spat out pop culture references and throwaway visual gags with machine-gun rapidity, entertaining kids and adults alike. The show was a follow-up to Tiny Toon Adventures, and was more original then it's inspiration. The Animaniacs had supposedly been created in the 1930’s, but their cartoons were too screwball for the general public. So they had been locked inside the WB water tower until they escaped recently, exposing themselves to the world.
