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.

Highlight - the "Eyeballs in the Darkness" scene. It's about time someone caught that cliche'.

This episode is final proof that white people can't rap. It was tough to tell who was the most square: Hamton or Buster! Apart from that, it was great. -NS ]
